Profitable Data Business with Impact

At Infine, we are shaping the future of sustainability in the food industry with our innovative technology, launched in February 2024. Since then, we’ve become a trusted partner for businesses aiming to seamlessly integrate sustainability into their operations while improving profitability and minimising risks.

With increasingly strict European Union regulations, e.g. Green Claims, CSDDD, CSRD, and the EU Deforestation Regulation, expanding sustainability strategies beyond carbon is not only a compliance necessity but also a significant market opportunity. Our Infine Insight service empowers businesses with sustainability insights across seven critical dimensions, enabling them to stay ahead in this evolving landscape.

Company Overview

Infine is a Nordic smart tech startup specialising in sustainability management. Our flagship product, Infine Insight, is a B2B SaaS that provides sustainability intelligence and data analytics for Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) businesses to manage product, portfolio, and business sustainability.

Expanding to B2B2C, under development: Another feature with strong market demand is our automated, consumer-friendly, product-specific sustainability indicator that can be embedded in 2D product information pages or any other digital platform.

By leveraging deep technology and scalability, we provide our clients with the tools they need to lead in sustainability, from risk mitigation to opportunity identification.

Market Opportunity

The global shift towards sustainability is reshaping industries, presenting a significant opportunity for Infine. Companies are increasingly required to showcase their sustainability initiatives, and Infine provides the essential tools to meet these growing demands. With rising regulatory pressures and heightened consumer expectations, Infine is uniquely positioned to capture a large share of this expanding market.

Market Gap and Regulatory Shift

The global shift towards sustainability has become a strategic priority for businesses, driven by stringent regulatory changes and evolving expectations from consumers, owners and internal stakeholders. Currently, around 70% of global companies are actively managing their carbon footprints to align with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) requirements and increasing consumer demand for environmentally sustainable products.

The forthcoming EU Green Claims Directive will impose stricter demands, requiring companies to make accurate and comprehensive sustainability claims. These claims must encompass a broad range of environmental impacts, including carbon emissions, biodiversity, water usage, and adherence to circular economy practices. This Directive reflects a growing emphasis on transparency and accountability in environmental impact, extending beyond traditional carbon metrics.

Adding to the urgency, the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), set to be enforced by 2026, underscores the serious legal and financial stakes for non-compliance. Companies could face sanctions amounting to up to 5% of their annual revenue, and their executives could face criminal charges for failing to address sustainability issues within their value chains in the EU area. 

This regulatory environment not only highlights the critical gaps businesses must address but also presents significant market opportunities for software like Infine Insight, which consolidates, analyses and presents the data needed to help companies detect, understand and mitigate risks associated with comprehensive sustainability standards.
