Having secured significant wins in the UK and European markets over the past three years by helping major consumer-goods brands such as DEYA, Delphis Eco and MOTH achieve their sustainability goals, the investment will accelerate Zevero’s scaling efforts in global key markets such as Japan, U.S., Australia, and Asia-Pacific countries. This funding will enable the platform to meet the increasing global demand for comprehensive sustainability solutions, with a particular focus on enhancing its decarbonisation capabilities.
