AI is changing the game in environmental management
In the face of tightening global regulations, companies worldwide are scrambling to reduce their environmental impact and comply with increasingly strict environmental reporting requirements. Traditionally, managing carbon emissions and environmental data was a time-consuming and labour-intensive task, but forward earth’s AI-powered software is rapidly changing that landscape. The platform seamlessly integrates into existing compliance and supply chain systems, helping businesses automate the collection and reporting of environmental data.
“forward earth is experiencing extraordinary global demand, and we’re rapidly scaling our operations,” said Micha Schildmann, CEO and co-founder of forward earth. “Mosaic Ventures is the ideal partner to bolster our European presence and accelerate our expansion into the U.S., leveraging their extensive network on both sides of the Atlantic. With this additional funding, we’re poised to rapidly decarbonise global supply chains and drive environmental compliance.”
