Metrikflow, a start-up that has developed an all-in-one ESG platform for the industrial sector, recently closed a pre-seed round of \u20ac565,000 and officially launched what it has defined as the AI-powered Sustainability and Compliance Operating System: an end-to-end software suite that digitises, automates and simplifies carbon footprint reporting, ESG reporting in line with CSRD and IFRS, product life cycle assessments (LCA) and ESG assessment of suppliers.<\/p>\n\n
The capital increase has been subscribed by the Magic Mind accelerator, owned by Zest and Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo, and by Apside, a joint venture between Zest and Intesa Sanpaolo, as well as by European business angels active in the climate tech and SaaS sectors.<\/p>\n\n
The Metrikflow platform supports the entire compliance and sustainability process for businesses through the use of artificial intelligence: from calculating companies’ carbon footprints to ESG indicators, from reporting the emissions required to manufacture a given product to analysing the entire production and supply chain, to suggesting actions to take to reduce its impact. The company’s mission is to enable 10,000 businesses to future-proof their operations and decarbonise by 2030. <\/p>\n\n
The industrial sector is responsible for approximately 30% of global carbon emissions, but over 80% of companies still do not measure the impact of their supply chain. Metrikflow bridges this gap with a unique platform that enables organisations to collect data from ERP systems, sensors and suppliers, analyse Scope 1-3 emissions, report in accordance with ESG regulations such as CSRD, CBAM and future global regulations, and reduce their impact through AI-driven automated recommendations. <\/p>\n\n
“Regulatory pressure may encounter resistance, but the expectations of investors, customers and international markets continue to grow,” said Alessandro Nora, CEO and founder of Metrikflow, in a statement. “We created Metrikflow so that large and small companies alike can eliminate the daily grind of compliance, leveraging the most advanced AI to make sustainability simple and integrated.”<\/p>\n\n
Metrikflow is a concrete example of how artificial intelligence can enable new solutions to address complex challenges such as ESG compliance and decarbonisation, with a scalable, industry-oriented approach. With the entry into force of the CSRD and the gradual extension of reporting obligations to the European business community, there is a growing urgency for companies to equip themselves with digital tools capable of transforming data into a competitive advantage. Metrikflow promptly identifies this need and helps companies prepare for new market and regulatory requirements,” says Gabriele Ronchini, CEO of Zest Investments and vice-chairman of the Apside Investment Committee.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n With over 50 active clients, including companies such as Comau, Balocco, Yokohama, Macron and Syngenta Biologicals, Metrikflow aims to become the strategic ally for decarbonisation and ESG compliance. The start-up, founded at the end of 2022 by Alessandro Nora, Mehdi Rachico and Andrea Gobbo, aims to support over 200 companies in the next two years, thanks to a SaaS platform that automates the most burdensome ESG reporting processes, transforming complex data into concrete actions. Born from Nora’s intuition in Berlin, after his experience in sustainable fashion, the start-up has grown around the idea of making sustainability measurable and accessible throughout the industrial supply chain. In a context where pressure to measure Scope 3 emissions is growing globally, well beyond regulatory requirements, Metrikflow offers a ready, scalable and international technological response to help companies remain competitive in the sustainable transition.
