- BeZero Carbon is a global carbon ratings agency that provides independent, project-level ratings to enhance the credibility of carbon markets, recently expanding its operations to Japan to support the country's compliance market for carbon credits.
- In January 2025, BeZero Carbon raised $32 million in a Series C funding round led by GenZero, with participation from investors like Japan Airlines and Translink Innovation Fund, aimed at expanding its ratings coverage in compliance markets.
- The company has established partnerships with notable firms, including Xpansiv, to integrate its carbon ratings into major carbon exchanges, enhancing market access and transparency for buyers and investors.
- BeZero Carbon's ideal buyers are organizations seeking reliable carbon credits and ratings to mitigate risks in their sustainability strategies, particularly in regions like Japan where carbon pricing is becoming increasingly integral to climate policy.
