Carbon Accounting
Carbon accounting software to calculate, track, and audit greenhouse gas emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3. Compare platforms aligned with the GHG Protocol that turn activity and spend data into audit-ready carbon inventories.
Carbon Accounting
Coolset
Best for: European mid-market companies — roughly 250 to 3,000 employees — facing several sustainability regulations at once (CSRD or VSME, EUDR, CBAM, PPWR, EcoVadis) with a small internal team that intends to own the compliance process rather than outsource it to consultants.
Normative
Best for: Mid-market to large enterprises with complex Scope 3 inventories that need independently verified carbon data and a named climate expert included in the engagement — particularly organizations approaching their first third-party assurance or SBTi submission.
Persefoni
Best for: Large enterprises facing mandatory carbon disclosure under CSRD or SEC climate rules where the disclosed figure will be reviewed by an external assurance provider — and financial institutions measuring financed emissions across loan books and investment portfolios under PCAF methodology, where the calculation problem is not generic but asset-class-specific and the regulatory consequence of getting it wrong is material.
Salesforce net zero cloud
Best for: Medium-to-large enterprises already invested in Salesforce that want carbon accounting and ESG reporting (Scope 1, 2 and 3) managed on the same platform as their financial, supply-chain and operational data — with Einstein AI easing the reporting burden and built-in report builders for CSRD, GRI, SASB, CDP and California climate disclosure laws.
Sweep
Best for: Multinational corporate groups and listed companies with 10 or more subsidiary entities that must consolidate carbon and ESG data across complex organizational structures — where the primary obstacle to CSRD compliance is not knowing how to calculate emissions, but not being able to get clean, governed, auditable data out of 25 different business units in time to produce a figure an assurance provider will not challenge.
Watershed
Best for: Large enterprises and multinationals with complex global supply chains and an in-house sustainability team ready to move beyond annual reporting toward operational decarbonization decisions.
