Climate technology company Zevero has secured $7 million in new funding as global demand for robust carbon data and ESG reporting continues to grow.
The latest investment, which brings the company’s total funding to $14 million, includes support from Spiral Capital, Gazelle Capital and Deep 30. It follows a period of rapid expansion, with Zevero reporting 400% year-over-year recurring revenue growth and a doubling of its customer base.
Additionally, the company has strengthened its offering with the recent acquisition of sustainability consultancy Inhabit, allowing it to move beyond emissions tracking into actively helping customers decarbonize.
Zevero’s platform uses artificial intelligence to automate the collection and calculation of emissions data for Scope 1, 2 and 3 – the three key categories used to measure a company’s carbon footprint.
By building a continuous, reusable data set, the platform enables companies to integrate sustainability metrics into core business functions such as product design, procurement and investment planning, rather than treating them as standalone reporting tasks.
Chief Executive Shigeo Taniuchi said the shift reflected a broader shift in the way companies approach sustainability.
“Companies are increasingly being asked to manage sustainability in the same way they manage their finances,” he said. “Yet many still view it as an annual project rather than a continuous system. Our goal is to make climate data actionable, reliable and embedded in decision-making.”
The funding comes amid stricter global regulatory requirements related to climate data disclosure. Frameworks such as the UK Sustainability Reporting Standards and the Japanese SSBJ Standards urge companies to apply the same level of rigor to environmental reporting as they do to financial accounts.
This shift increases the demand for platforms that can provide verifiable, real-time data, especially as supply chain transparency and carbon border adjustment mechanisms (CBAM) begin to impact international trade.
George Wade, co-founder and chief commercial officer, said carbon data is quickly becoming a strategic input rather than a compliance obligation.
“Organizations not only need software to collect the data, they also need guidance to transform it into something the company can act on,” he said.
The new funding will be used to accelerate product development and support Zevero’s international expansion, particularly in Asia Pacific and Continental Europe, where regulatory and commercial pressures are increasing.
The company already works with major organizations, including Asahi Group and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, as well as a growing number of clients in the manufacturing, FMCG and consumer sectors.
Investors say the combination of technology and embedded expertise gives the company a strong position in a market that is increasingly crowded but also increasingly important to business operations.
Tomokazu Okuno of Spiral Capital said the platform addresses one of the most pressing challenges facing companies today, namely gaining insight into emissions and acting on that insight.
The investment underscores a broader trend in climate technology, where funding is increasingly flowing toward solutions that deliver measurable operational value rather than purely compliance-focused tools.
As companies navigate the transition to a low-carbon economy, the ability to track, verify and respond to emissions data will become a core competency.
For Zevero, the next phase will be to scale its platform globally while maintaining the balance between automation and expert insights – a combination that Zevero believes is essential to turning climate data into meaningful action.
As regulatory requirements increase and investor attention increases, platforms that can bridge the gap between reporting and real-world impact are likely to play a central role in the next phase of the sustainability transition.
