Vaayu helps brands and retailers track and reduce their environmental footprint.

Our Mission

We have until 2030 to reduce global emissions by more than half if we are to keep global average temperature rises to 1.5 degrees celsius. Contributions to solving the climate crisis have never been more important.

At Vaayu, we are committed to supporting the decarbonisation of the retail industry, and helping organisations operate within planetary boundaries. Our tools help brands and retailers measure their environmental footprint, and provide clear guidance on the effective reduction measures necessary to reduce this impact where possible.

We are a team of sustainability experts, technologists, product and retail specialists with a passion for the environment. At Vaayu, our mission is to use technology as a force for good.

Our Values

• Environmental. The Earth is our protagonist. Protecting it is at the center of everything we do.
• Collaborative. We believe in people. The bigger our network, the bigger our impact. Climate change affects us all, but by working collaboratively we know we can make a difference within retail, and beyond.
• Honest. Our voice is informative and authentic. We want to share what we are working on, be open about the challenges, and build an ecosystem that creates change.
