PwC advises Secaro shareholders on its sale to Asuene Inc
PwC is pleased to announce that it has advised the shareholders of Secaro (formerly Manufacture2030) on its sale to Asuene Inc, a leading provider of AI powered carbon accounting and sustainability management solutions headquartered in Japan.
Secaro offers proprietary data insights that enables organisations to improve supply chain transparency and manage sustainability data across complex supplier networks. Its platform helps businesses collect, analyse and report environmental and supply chain information, supporting increasingly sophisticated regulatory, operational and customer requirements.
The acquisition by Asuene brings together complementary capabilities in sustainability technology and supply chain data, creating opportunities to enhance organisations' ability to manage carbon emissions and supply chain performance through data-driven insights.
The transaction reflects growing global demand for technology solutions that combine environmental, social and governance (ESG) expertise with high-quality data and digital platforms. As sustainability reporting requirements continue to evolve, organisations are increasingly seeking technology that provides greater visibility across their value chains and supports informed decision-making.
The deal is a strong example of PwC's ability to bring together complementary sector expertise to deliver successful outcomes for clients on cross-border transactions.
Drawing on deep experience across ESG, governance, risk and compliance (GRC), and software, the team combined sector knowledge with M&A execution to support shareholders throughout the transaction. As ESG increasingly becomes a data challenge, businesses like Secaro are well positioned at the intersection of technology, supply chain intelligence and regulatory change.
Tim Armstong, Partner at PwC, said:
“We are delighted to have supported Secaro on this important milestone. The transaction highlights the increasing strategic importance of technology that enables businesses to manage sustainability and supply chain data, and demonstrates the continued international demand for innovative businesses operating at the intersection of ESG and digital transformation.”
The PwC deal team was led by Tim Armstrong, Sophia Rashid and Matthew Varney, with support from the Deals Insights & Analytics team, including Dan Stott, Keighley Howgego and Paula Gjelaj.
