Our take
As the global drive towards sustainability intensifies, companies are under increasing pressure to take account of their global environmental impact. As a result, companies need to continuously observe and culminate their carbon data and this is not necessarily a simple task. Vaayu aims to streamline this process with its carbon modelling engine which uses machine learning to simplify and automate carbon calculations for business.
Vaayu was founded by retail experts for retailers, with a vision to decelerate climate change and decarbonize the retail industry. Its automated software provides real-time data and information which can then be used to measure, monitor and reduce carbon footprints at scale. It has proven popular with the industry and its product is being used by major brands such as Klarna, Stripe and Vinted.
Having raised a significant amount of funding, most recently in a 2022 seed round, Vaayu is focusing on improving its platform's emissions reporting and benchmarking capabilities. With the retail sector responsible for up to 20% of the world's total carbon emissions and companies urgently looking for a way to bring this down, Vaayu is well poised to make a major contribution towards the world's climate goals.
