London-based startup Treefera has closed a Series B funding round, underscoring a surge in climate-tech solutions targeting supply chain sustainability. The investment, led by Notion Capital with support from Endeit Capital, Albion VC, Triple Point, and Twin Path Ventures, is a significant achievement amid challenging conditions for green tech funding. Treefera is focusing on enhancing first-mile traceability with its artificial intelligence-driven platform, addressing the critical, yet often opaque, early stages of global supply chains. The company´s offering caters to enterprises across sectors needing reliable environmental, social, and governance data to respond to increasing regulatory pressure and stakeholder scrutiny.
First-mile transparency remains a major blind spot as industries strive for full supply chain visibility. While tracking goods from transport to delivery has improved, origins such as farms and forests largely elude comprehensive monitoring. Regulations like the European Union Deforestation Regulation now require detailed, verifiable sourcing information, making the ability to trace materials to their source not just desirable, but necessary. Treefera’s suite of technologies collects environmental data from these crucial points of origin, enabling businesses to meet compliance requirements, mitigate risks, and build trust with partners and customers.
The startup’s platform stands out for its integration of artificial intelligence, satellite imagery, drone footage, and verified land records. This multi-source approach produces a nuanced, continuously updated picture of supply chain beginnings, moving beyond manual audits or subjective reporting. Treefera delivers this data via application programming interfaces, allowing seamless integration with existing supply chain management systems. Key applications include risk assessment, decarbonization tracking, and robust audit support—capabilities that are particularly valuable as carbon credit markets demand standardized, credible data for verification. Treefera’s ability to provide timestamped, independently verifiable environmental data strengthens the credibility of both carbon credit projects and ESG disclosures, helping repair trust in voluntary carbon markets and streamline compliance processes.
Having secured new capital, Treefera aims to accelerate its expansion, prioritizing increased presence in Europe and North America. Planned investments will focus on further product development, with efforts to enhance data architecture and create user-friendly experiences. As regulations intensify and expectations rise around supply chain accountability, Treefera positions itself at the intersection of technology and sustainability, offering practical solutions for some of the sector’s most persistent challenges.
