What Manufacture 2030 does

Manufacture 2030, now operating as Secaro, is an Oxford-based SaaS company that provides a supply chain sustainability management platform for large multinational enterprises. The platform enables companies to measure, report, and reduce environmental impacts across their supply chains by collecting primary (not estimated) Scope 3 emissions data, supporting facility-level operational reporting, and generating cradle-to-gate Product Carbon Footprints. It operates as a two-sided network: enterprise buyers — including GSK, Toyota, Unilever, Bayer, AstraZeneca, Bristol Myers Squibb, Kingfisher, Ford, Johnson & Johnson, and Honda — engage their supplier networks through the platform, with over 8,000 businesses and 45,000+ completed sustainability actions recorded across 90+ countries.

The product surface is organized around three core modules: Your Supply Chain (upstream Scope 3 primary data), Your Operations (facility-level environmental reporting and action planning), and Your Products (cradle-to-gate PCFs), supplemented by the Clean Heat Program co-developed with ERM to address industrial heat decarbonization. The platform is aligned with major sustainability reporting standards (ISSB, CDP, SDG, SBT, GHG Protocol) and distributes via a hybrid enterprise field sales motion combined with a self-serve supplier onboarding flow. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and operates on a quote-based enterprise agreement model.

The company is venture-backed, having closed a £5 million Series A in March 2023 led by Maven VCTs and Amati AIM VCT, and uses this capital to fund geographic expansion into North America and Europe and vertical expansion into pharmaceutical, retail, automotive, and consumer goods sectors. Founded in 2008, the company is headquartered in Oxford, UK, with 51-100 employees and operates under the Secaro brand following a 2023 rebrand from Manufacture 2030.

The platform consists of three interconnected modules: Your Supply Chain (primary upstream Scope 3 data), Your Operations (facility-level reporting and action), and Your Products (cradle-to-gate Product Carbon Footprints). A complementary initiative called the Clean Heat Program, developed in partnership with ERM, addresses industrial heat decarbonization. The platform enables companies to collate environmental data, build trusted supplier networks, analyze insights with benchmarking, and take action to reduce emissions.

Direct peers

• Watershed: Enterprise sustainability platform focused on Scope 3 measurement, supplier engagement, and decarbonization. Directly comparable to Secaro in buyer profile (large multinationals) and core offering (primary supply chain emissions data and reduction workflows).
• Persefoni: Climate management and accounting platform used by large enterprises to measure and manage carbon footprints including Scope 3. Closely aligned with Secaro on target buyer (Fortune 1000 sustainability teams) and core product (SaaS for emissions data).
• Sweep: Sustainability data platform enabling enterprises to map emissions across operations and supply chains. Comparable to Secaro on buyer-supplier collaboration workflow, Scope 3 focus, and enterprise SaaS GTM.

Broad incumbents

• Workiva: Public ESG and sustainability reporting platform serving large enterprises with disclosure, audit, and compliance workflows. Competes with Secaro in the reporting and standards-alignment layer for sustainability teams, though Workiva's scope is broader than supply chain Scope 3.
• Salesforce Net Zero Cloud: Carbon accounting module within the Salesforce CRM/ESG suite, targeting large enterprises for emissions tracking across operations and supply chain. A broad incumbent that bundles Scope 3 capability into a much larger enterprise software stack.
• IBM Envizi: Enterprise ESG data, reporting, and analytics platform acquired by IBM, serving large multinationals including for supply chain emissions. Comparable on enterprise buyer profile and ESG reporting scope.
• Microsoft Sustainability Manager: Microsoft's cloud-based sustainability offering covering emissions accounting and reporting, including Scope 3. Competes with Secaro for enterprise sustainability budgets, especially among existing Microsoft customers.
• Sphera: Enterprise ESG and operational risk management software, with deep capabilities in supply chain sustainability and product carbon footprinting. Closely comparable to Secaro's Your Products and Your Supply Chain modules, with a broader industrial customer base.

Emerging players

• Greenly: Carbon accounting platform with supply chain Scope 3 functionality, originally focused on SMBs and increasingly moving upmarket. Comparable product surface to Secaro though currently stronger on the buyer side than the supplier-side engagement layer.
• Avarni: Supply chain emissions data and decarbonization platform helping enterprises analyze Scope 3 across their supplier base. Directly comparable to Secaro's primary-data, supplier-engagement motion, though smaller in scale and customer footprint.
