Many retailers today face the significant challenge of understanding and reducing their environmental impact. The retail sector is a major contributor to global carbon emissions, and there's increasing pressure from consumers, regulators, and investors for businesses to operate more sustainably. Our customers often struggle with the complexity of calculating their carbon footprint across their entire value chain, from sourcing raw materials and manufacturing products to packaging, logistics, and end-of-life. This is why Vaayu developed the world's first automated environmental impact software specifically designed for the retail industry.

Our platform empowers retailers by providing real-time, granular data on their carbon emissions, water usage, and waste generation. We integrate seamlessly with existing retail systems, such as point-of-sale (POS), product lifecycle management (PLM), product information management (PIM), and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, to automatically collect and analyze data. Using proprietary AI and machine learning technology, alongside an extensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) database with over 600,000 data points, Vaayu delivers accurate and actionable insights. This allows retailers to identify carbon hotspots within their operations and supply chains, model different reduction scenarios, and make data-driven decisions to minimize their environmental footprint effectively. We help businesses not only to measure and monitor their impact but also to set ambitious yet achievable environmental goals, such as Net Zero and Science-Based Targets (SBTis), and track their progress. Furthermore, Vaayu supports retailers in navigating the evolving landscape of sustainability regulations and in credibly communicating their environmental performance to their customers and stakeholders, fostering transparency and trust.
