Zevero Raises $7 Million as Global Demand for Carbon Data Accelerates

Zevero, a carbon management platform, led by Shigeo Taniuchi, Yuya Kuratomi, George Wade, and Ben Richardson, has secured $7 million in new investment, bringing its total funding to $14 million to date. The round includes participation from Spiral Capital, Gazelle Capital, and Deep 30, and it follows a period of rapid growth for the company, with annual recurring revenue increasing 400% year-on-year and its customer base doubling.

Zevero has also acquired sustainability advisory firm Inhabit, enhancing its ability to support organisations in moving from emissions measurement to systematic reduction.

Zevero uses AI to automate emissions data collection across Scope 1, 2, and 3, creating a reusable dataset that informs ESG reporting, product design, and sourcing decisions. With embedded climate expertise, the platform helps identify hotspots, set targets, and drive actionable decarbonisation strategies.

The funding comes amid a structural shift in sustainability reporting, as frameworks like the UK Sustainability Reporting Standards and Japan’s SSBJ Standards bring climate disclosure in line with the rigour of financial reporting.

Zevero has developed a strong platform enabling organisations to gain clear visibility into carbon emissions and act on that insight, with its combination of technology and expertise supporting global scalability,” said Tomokazu Okuno, CEO of Spiral Capital.

“Carbon data is evolving from a reporting requirement into a core driver of operational and investment decisions, requiring not just data collection but actionable guidance, an approach central to Zevero’s platform,” said George Wade, CCO and Co-Founder of Zevero.

The funding will accelerate product development and support Zevero’s expansion across Asia-Pacific and continental Europe, where regulatory pressure around emissions and supply chains is intensifying. With customers including Asahi Group, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and Waterdrop, the company is growing rapidly across manufacturing, FMCG, and consumer sectors, positioning itself to support organisations in the transition to a data-driven, low-carbon economy.

“Businesses are increasingly expected to manage sustainability with the same rigor as finance, yet many still treat it as a one-off reporting exercise rather than a continuous system. Zevero focuses on making climate data ongoing, defensible, and decision-driven, with this funding enabling expansion across more organisations and markets,” said Shigeo Taniuchi, CEO of Zevero.
