Company Description Assent is the leading solution for supply chain sustainability tailored for the world’s top-tier, sustainability-driven manufacturers. Hidden risks riddle supply chains, many of which weren’t built with sustainability in mind. That's where we step in. With insights from experts, Assent is the tool manufacturers trust for comprehensive sustainability.

We are proud to announce that Assent has crossed the US$100M ARR milestone, granting us Centaur Status. This accomplishment, reached just 8 years following our Series A, makes us the first and only Certified B Corporation in North America's SaaS sustainability industry to celebrate this milestone. With our $350 million U.S. funding led by Vista Equity Partners, we’re poised for even greater expansion.

Hybrid Work Model At Assent, we proudly embrace a remote-first work model, valuing flexibility and autonomy. For team members located within 50 km (31 mi) of our global offices in Ottawa, Eldoret, Penang, Columbus, and Amsterdam, we expect office attendance at least one day a week. Those near co-working spaces in Nairobi and Toronto are encouraged to work onsite once a month.
