What RIMM Sustainability does

RIMM Sustainability is a Singapore-headquartered climate technology company that operates an AI-enabled environmental, social and governance (ESG) management platform marketed under the myCSO brand. The platform centralizes sustainability data collection, analytics, workflow automation and reporting for organizations ranging from small and medium enterprises to large global enterprises, with a particular focus on portfolio managers, asset managers and impact investors. Core product lines are the myCSO Suite (with Compliance and Strategy & Advisory modules covering CSRD, double materiality, risk management, supply chain, transition risk, data analytics and sentiment analytics), Rimm Impact (impact quantification and access to DFI, carbon credit and REC funding), and the API-driven Rimm Data Suite (Financed Emissions, TR360, Risk Ratings, TruView, raw ESG datasets and carbon credit validation). The platform is positioned on proprietary ESG datasets, applied AI/ML and a Scientific Advisory Board drawn from Tokyo Institute of Technology, Imperial College London, Stanford University and former KPMG UK ESG leadership.

RIMM monetizes through SaaS subscriptions on a quote-based, monthly billing cadence, distributed through a hybrid go-to-market: a direct enterprise sales motion (with a 'Book Demo' call-to-action) targeting sustainability officers and ESG teams, and a self-serve platform at platform.rimm.io for smaller organizations. Channel and ecosystem partners include The Social Investment Consultancy (TSIC, flagship), Wavemaker Partners (GTM), Terrascope and Zeroboard (integration), and a network of ESG service providers. The company was founded in 2020 and is led by CEO and co-founder Ravi Chidambaram (30+ years in investment banking, 18+ years as an entrepreneur), with Vivek Aswani (CCO), Riya Jeram (COO), Dr Faddy Ardian (Chief Data Scientist) and Masashi Yamashita (Chairperson of Rimm Japan Inc.). It has raised a US$3 million pre-series A round in February 2022 led by BEENEXT and Mamoru Taniya, with participation from Tolaram Group, Atlas Asset Management and ADB Ventures, and serves customers across Asia Pacific, Southeast Asia, West Africa and Europe.
