91% of companies declared that their carbon emissions are not "comprehensively measured."1 Only 26% of those disclosing their carbon footprint through the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) in 2022 had science-based targets approved with the SBTi 2.

With sustainability efforts and business strategies siloed and granular emission data lacking, it is complex for companies to prioritize their sustainability performance effectively. Cozero’s software solution helps address these challenges and democratizes emission management within companies.

Helen Tacke, CEO and Co-founder of Cozero, emphasizes, "Climate management tools must evolve, allowing organizations to effectively measure and reduce their carbon footprint by linking climate actions to business impacts. Our Climate ERP provides a proven technology that facilitates seamless emissions management and a targeted steering of the company and its resources. This enables businesses to not only meet regulatory reporting requirements but also to transform their value chain and product offerings towards premium, low-carbon alternatives. It sets the necessary foundation for companies in a world where financial and carbon accounting are converging. These two management dimensions are becoming more and more interchangeable anyways with the rise of carbon prices.”

Melanie Beyersdorf, Investment Manager at ENV said, "Actionnable sustainability requires more than just compliance. It requires a balanced approach that weighs environmental obligations and financial implications. Organizations need to prioritize solutions that provide clear insight, enabling them to make decisions that are both environmentally responsible and financially prudent,".

Aurélie Nicolas, Investment Director at NewAlpha said, "Cozero has developed a carbon emissions management software that handles the complexity of large companies' operations to accurately measure their carbon emissions. This accuracy is a prerequisite to help companies manage their sustainability policy. The tool supports the transition internally, within enterprises, but also externally throughout the economic value chain, downstream and upstream with financial partners. Cozero's mission is therefore perfectly aligned with NewAlpha's investment approach,".

This funding round marks a significant vote of confidence in Cozero from the investment community. The trust from international investors and business angels emphasizes the global demand for robust corporate climate management and the crucial role of international cooperation in achieving a sustainable future.
