Overview
Root Sustainability is a B2B SaaS company based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, founded in 2022 by Gijs de Mol and Maud Schijen. The company operates a sustainability data optimization platform that automates life cycle assessments and sustainability reporting for businesses.
The company addresses the operational challenge of managing environmental data across organisations. As regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations around sustainability reporting increase, companies require systems to centralise, analyse and report on their environmental impact systematically.
Activities and products
Root Sustainability's core offering is a sustainability data optimization platform that centralizes environmental data and generates detailed life cycle assessments for products and organizations. The platform automates the process of conducting and documenting life cycle assessments, which traditionally require significant manual effort and expertise. The company serves retailers including HEMA, O'Neill, and Holland & Barrett, helping these businesses quantify and report on the environmental impact of their operations and product portfolios.
Stage and funding
Root Sustainability is at seed stage. The company raised €1 million in a Seed funding round in December 2025, led by Borski Fund. The customer base of established retailers indicates early market traction, though the company remains in its early growth phase.
