What is the BlueInvest Project Pipeline?

Susplus

Susplus is a climate-tech SaaS startup offering a Carbon Offset-as-a-Service (COaaS) platform designed to help corporates decarbonize their supply chains—specifically tackling the challenge of Scope 3 emissions, which often represent over 90% of a company’s carbon footprint.

The platform integrates suppliers (especially SMEs) into verifiable insetting projects, providing automated Scope 3 profiling, AI-powered emission reduction recommendations, and hybrid blockchain verification for compliance. With early pilots underway in the seafood and aquaculture sectors, Susplus is turning complex ESG goals into actionable, measurable climate ROI—helping companies move beyond reporting and into real decarbonisation.

Problem we are solving
Susplus solves the challenge of Scope 3 emissions—often over 90% of a company’s carbon footprint—by enabling visibility, engagement, and verified decarbonisation of supply chain partners, especially SMEs, who typically lack the tools, data, and incentives to act.

Sustainable Impact on Blue Ecconomy
Susplus uniquely enables companies to achieve real, measurable Scope 3 decarbonisation by integrating their suppliers into AI-guided, blockchain-verified insetting projects—delivering both ESG compliance and long-term climate ROI through a scalable, supply chain-focused platform.
