In short, the investment will help us bring our vision - to humanize consumption through technology - to life faster.
We grew very quickly in 2020 as our roster of clients and industry partnerships expanded. But there is still much more that needs to be done.

We will do this by continuing to develop new products and services specifically in ESG and SDG tracking. We can also fast track our plans to recruit specialists in sectors that impact small holder farmers, such as coffee, cocoa, tea, spices and fragrances. We will now start building new teams across the world in places like Geneva, New York City, Singapore and Brazil.
Thank you to ITOCHU Corporation, which led the investment round, and our other investors including our founding partner Sucafina. We can’t wait to see what the future holds.
