Company Description

Assent is the supply chain sustainability management solution for the world’s most responsible, sustainability-focused complex manufacturers. The #1 business risk for complex manufacturers is hidden.

This funding will allow us to continue to scale with purpose, and add exceptional talent to our already remarkable team.
