This month’s updates
We kicked off 2025 with a major vote of confidence in carbon markets by announcing BeZero’s US$32 million raise in Series C funding, led by GenZero, with additional support from Japan Airlines and Translink Capital Innovation Fund.
This funding round demonstrates both confidence in our team, and the value of independent carbon ratings. Our co-founders reflect on the raise, the rapid adoption of ratings and how they can enable thriving carbon markets of all types in the coming years, and the pivotal role Singapore plays in carbon markets.
