With this series B funding, Greenly will be able to expand its global reach and firmly establish itself as the industry leading comprehensive Climate Suite. This will help companies move from an antiquated model in which obtaining climate expertise from outside sources was of low priority to developing in-house climate knowledge and putting into practice efficient reduction strategies that will help them thrive in the new Energy Transition world.
Alexis Normand, CEO and co-founder of Greenly, said: “Soon, monitoring GHG emissions will become as routine as overseeing financial health. Irrespective of size, industry, or geography, it is essential that all companies have the tools to effectively manage their emissions. This Series B will give us tremendous thrust to make it happen sooner. Greenly’s goal is to enable businesses to navigate more swiftly into a new era, where long-term value is synonymous with sustainable growth. We’re here to simplify carbon management, making it a fundamental aspect of every organization’s core practices. Our focus extends beyond regulatory compliance; we’re fostering a profound transformation towards sustainability within corporate cultures. Our technology is designed to be both precise and user-friendly, inviting everyone to be part of this critical movement.”
Greenly, a climate tech startup provides one-stop shop for corporate environmental activities, will become a global leader in carbon management with this capital infusion. Beyond meeting SEC reporting requirements or Greenly CSRD compliance requirements, its Climate Suite enables businesses to budget for decarbonization and cut emissions in accordance with global frameworks such as SBTi.
Fidelma Russo, Executive Vice President & General Manager, Hybrid Cloud & Chief Technology Officer, at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, added: “Achieving sustainability targets in hybrid IT environments can be complex and daunting endeavors for even the most sophisticated enterprises. HPE’s investment in Greenly aligns with the commitments we’ve made to our customers to help and support them on their sustainability journeys. We’re excited to partner with Greenly in providing the tools necessary for businesses to monitor, track, and minimize their carbon footprint within their IT infrastructure.”

In a short space of time, the Greenly team has developed an impressive platform and range of services that extend beyond mere emissions compliance monitoring. Their offerings empower companies to manage their emissions, proactively engage with suppliers and become part of a greener energy transition. Bolstered by strong regulatory tailwinds, Greenly is well-positioned to lead the global shift towards comprehensive carbon and greenhouse gas emission management.
