Real-Time Impact Intelligence for Retail Emissions & Beyond

Onye Dike
Updated by Onye Dike on February 19th, 2026
Vaayu is a carbon and environmental impact management platform built for retail brands, marketplaces, and e-commerce operators. It targets Scope 3-heavy value chains, pulling product attributes and transaction flows from systems such as ERP, PLM/PIM and POS to produce activity-based calculations, alongside supplier data where available. Sustainability teams use it to monitor product, order and company footprints, identify hotspots in materials, manufacturing and logistics, and test reduction actions through scenario modelling. Used by sustainability teams globally, Vaayu can also power optional customer-facing impact views for products and deliveries.

Core Features

Vaayu presents its footprinting as an LCA-led approach, using “cradle-to-grave” system boundaries and documented methods that combine primary data (when available) with secondary datasets, prioritising primary inputs where possible. Some of its main features are:

  • Activity-based Scope 3 automation — models upstream and downstream emissions using product attributes, supplier inputs and operational systems rather than relying only on spend averages.

  • Retail system connectivity — connects to common retail data sources (e.g., ERP, PLM/PIM, POS) and supports API-based data ingestion.

  • Product footprint disclosure — produces product footprint estimates designed for business and consumer disclosures, using defined system boundaries and assumptions.

  • Scenario modelling for reductions — supports scenario-style analysis to evaluate changes in materials, logistics, and operations.

  • Shopify integration — offers a Shopify app that connects store shipment data to calculate emissions for outbound deliveries.

  • Legislation & Regulation Tracker — provides ongoing monitoring of evolving sustainability laws in Europe, the US, and India, enabling teams to adjust strategies proactively.

  • Digital Product Passports & Consumer Engagement — Product-level CO₂ transparency on customer platforms to enhance brand credibility.
