The Munich startup Tanso has successfully completed a Series A financing round, raising twelve million euros. The round was led by international venture capital firms HenQ and Fortino Capital. Existing investors Capnamic and UVC Partners participated again.
Founded in 2021, the company offers a cloud-based software solution for environmental management, ESG data management, and compliance automation. The platform is aimed primarily at industrial manufacturing companies that are under pressure to collect, report, and audit comprehensive sustainability key performance indicators (KPIs) due to increasing regulatory requirements—for example, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) at the EU level.
Sustainability as a competitive factor
The market for ESG software solutions is growing rapidly. Demand is driven not only by legal requirements but also by demands from major customers in the automotive, chemical, and food industries: They demand transparent decarbonization measures and regular reporting from their suppliers.
Tanso addresses these requirements with an integrated platform for carbon accounting and ESG data management. The software enables structured recording, precise calculation, and targeted optimization of sustainability metrics. This is complemented by AI-supported data management and automated action recommendations. According to the company, more than 300 companies in over 40 countries have already adopted the solution – including Kärcher, Duravit, the Paulaner Group, and Goldbeck.
Growth with capital from the financing round
With the fresh capital, Munich-based Climatetech plans to expand its team from its current 55 to over 100 employees, expand into additional countries, and develop additional product modules. The focus is on supply chain, compliance, and risk management solutions.
With the Series A financing, Tanso continues to position itself as a key player in the ESG tech market – based in Munich and with growing international ambitions.
