The companies said sustainability teams are facing growing pressure to prepare for regulations requiring product-level environmental information, including the Digital Product Passport, the French Eco-Score and California的 SB253.
“The fashion industry has a data problem that no amount of ambition can solve without the right infrastructure,” explained Marc Laurent, CEO of Carbonfact.
“Upcoming regulations require a shift from corporate-level data to product-level data. This deal gives the industry a single, rigorous foundation, and it unites two of fashion的 most comprehensive datasets. Vaayu的 customers will find a platform that handles every framework and compliance deadline they face, backed by data depth that no other platform in this sector can match.”
Namrata Sandhu, founder and CEO of Vaayu, added: “We started Vaayu to give retail and fashion companies the granular, product-level climate data they need to actually decarbonise, not just report on it. Carbonfact 也有同样的信念,，我们可以一起以行业现在所需的规模交付它。我们的客户现在将获得他们信任我们的同样严格的,，以及他们下一章要求的合规覆盖范围。”

Our customers will get the same rigour they trust us for, now paired with the compliance coverage their next chapter demands.”
