Zevero has raised $7 million in fresh funding, taking its total capital raised to $14 million as businesses face growing pressure to treat carbon reporting with the same rigour as financial reporting.
The round includes Spiral Capital, Gazelle Capital, and Deep 30, and follows a period in which the carbon management platform says annual recurring revenue rose 400% year-on-year while its customer base doubled.
The company’s pitch is that emissions data needs to become operational, not annual. Zevero uses AI to automate data collection and emissions calculations across Scope 1, 2, and 3, then combines that dataset with embedded climate expertise to help customers identify hotspots, set targets, and develop decarbonisation strategies. It also recently acquired sustainability advisory business Inhabit, a move designed to strengthen its ability to support customers moving from disclosure to systematic emissions reduction.
Shigeo Taniuchi, CEO of Zevero, said: “Businesses are increasingly being asked to manage sustainability the way they manage finance, yet many are still operating it like an annual project: rebuilding from scratch each year and producing a number rather than a system. Our focus is on changing that, by providing the platform and the expertise to make climate data continuous, defensible, and connected to the decisions that matter. This funding allows us to bring that to more organisations across more markets.”
The timing reflects a broader reporting shift. Zevero points to frameworks including the UK Sustainability Reporting Standards and Japan’s SSBJ Standards as evidence that climate disclosure is moving closer to mainstream governance and assurance expectations. The company says the new funding will support product development and further expansion across Asia-Pacific and continental Europe, where businesses are facing tighter tender requirements, supply chain mandates, and exposure to carbon border regulation. Current customers include Asahi Group, Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and waterdrop.
George Wade, CCO and co-founder of Zevero, said: “Carbon data is moving from a reporting exercise to a core input in operational and investment decisions. Organisations don’t just need the software to collect the data; they need the guidance to help turn it into something the business can act on. That’s what Zevero is built around.” With its latest raise, the company is betting that the next phase of climate software will be defined less by one-off accounting and more by continuous, decision-grade data.
