Company Description

Summary

Assent is the leading solution for supply chain sustainability tailored for the world’s top-tier, sustainability-driven manufacturers.

With insights from experts, Assent is the tool manufacturers trust for comprehensive sustainability.

We are proud to announce that Assent has crossed the US$100M ARR milestone, granting us Centaur Status. This accomplishment, reached just 8 years following our Series A, makes us the first and only Certified B Corporation in North America's SaaS sustainability industry to celebrate this milestone.
