As sustainability expectations grow, organisations across the supply chain are under pressure to take clear, measurable action on climate. Regulatory frameworks like CSRD, investor scrutiny, and customer disclosures all demand accurate, verifiable carbon data — not just for compliance, but to remain competitive in a shifting marketplace.
For SMEs, carbon accounting can feel overwhelming. Limited resources, fragmented systems, and a lack of clarity make it hard to respond to customer demands. Meanwhile, large businesses face mounting pressure to report on Scope 3 emissions — most of which come from their suppliers — making consistent, high-quality data essential for ESG success.
Today, it’s not just about tracking emissions. Both SMEs and large organisations are expected to demonstrate transparency, year-on-year progress, and a credible path to reduction. But without the right tools and support, getting started — or moving forward — can be challenging.
