In 2010, Andreas Maslo and Florian Holl founded VERSO with a clear mission: to make sustainability manageable for businesses. After realizing that most companies lacked both the know-how and appropriate tools to understand their impact on people, environment, and society, they set out to create a solution that would transform how organizations approach corporate responsibility. What started as a vision to make the origins and production circumstances of everyday products transparent has evolved into a comprehensive sustainability platform. Today, VERSO stands as a pioneer in corporate sustainability software, offering an all-in-one solution that combines SaaS technology with expert consulting services. The company's platform - comprising the Supply Chain Hub, Climate Hub, and ESG Hub - enables medium-sized enterprises to manage their sustainability processes automatically, holistically, and compliantly. With over 350 active customers and more than 3,000 climate balances and sustainability reports created, VERSO has established itself as a trusted partner in the sustainable transformation of the economy. Based in Munich with additional locations in Hamburg and Cologne, the team of over 130 technology and sustainability experts continues to guide companies through complex regulatory requirements like CSRD, LkSG, and CSDDD, proving that sustainability and business impact can go hand in hand.
