The 5 essential criteria to evaluate

The grid to apply when objectively comparing platforms on the market.

Criterion 1

Regulatory coverage

CDP, ISSB, TCFD, and a growing number of regional requirements. Cover what you need today. Stay ahead of what's coming.

Criterion 2

Data quality and automation

Automated collection, ERP connectors, validation: no more scattered spreadsheets and manual entry, for easier auditability.

Criterion 3

Emissions coverage across operations and supply chain

Direct emissions, indirect emissions, and supplier emissions across your entire value chain. All in one place.

Criterion 4

Security and governance

SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified. Fine-grained role management and full data traceability.

Criterion 5

Support and expertise

Real experts in your corner. Not just a tool dropped in self-service.

Key questions to ask every vendor

  • How does the tool keep up with evolving reporting requirements across different markets?
  • What native integrations are available with our ERP, HR, and finance systems?
  • How granular is the supply chain emissions coverage, and how is supplier data collected?
  • How does the tool handle audit trails for third-party verifiers?
  • What's the average ROI you see across your customers, and over what timeframe?
  • Which security certifications do you hold (SOC 2, ISO 27001)?
