Greenly: Carbon Accounting To Reduce Climate Change Impacts

As climate disclosure tightens and value chains demand transparency, organisations need carbon management that is fast and efficient. 

Greenly positions itself as an all-in-one platform for GHG disclosure, product carbon footprinting and ESG compliance, strengthened by its AI tools to cut through complexity and turn data into credible action.

Speed and sustainability

Greenly’s core promise is speed without sacrifice. 

The platform ingests physical and monetary activity data, then translates it into Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions using a library of 300,000 emission factors, including 30,000 monetary and 50,000 supplier-specific factors. 

Greenly AI flags statistical anomalies to improve accuracy and reduce rework, while harmonisation tools, supplier data retrieval and ready-to-use APIs streamline data management across finance, procurement and operations. 

The result is audit-ready reporting that supports frameworks from CDP and TCFD to CSRD and the UK’s evolving requirements.

Scope 3 is often the hardest mile. 

“Originally launched as a mobile app for individuals — using bank‐transaction data to estimate users’ day‐to‐day carbon footprint — the platform quickly evolved toward serving businesses, where the environmental impact is far greater,” says Alexis Normand, CEO of Greenly in an interview with Sustainability Magazine.

Greenly builds supplier engagement into the workflow: you share your supplier list, Greenly surveys ecological performance, integrates responses into your dashboard and helps suppliers begin their own decarbonisation journey. 

This approach boosts data quality where it matters most and underpins more accurate footprints, targeted reduction plans and credible claims. 

For teams under pressure to do more with less, Greenly reports typical savings in time, headcount involvement and compliance overheads.

Scaling sustainable initiatives

Fit matters as much as features.

Greenly tailors sector-specific guidance and provides a dedicated expert who understands your industry and priorities. 

Whether you are an SMB setting a first baseline or an enterprise aligning global reporting, the platform scales accordingly and is already used by more than 3,500 companies, from consumer brands to financial services leaders such as HSBC and Ubisoft. 

For UK organisations, Greenly supports local frameworks, helping reduce risk and future-proof programmes as regulations evolve.

Using AI for carbon accounting

Pushing further, Greenly’s EcoPilot acts as an AI co-pilot for sustainability, also using its comprehensive software platform, Climate Suite, to simplify carbon accounting. 

“Climate Suite ensures accurate measurement by automatically pulling data from financial systems, ERPs and procurement platforms and applying vetted emission factors, so businesses no longer need to cobble together fragmented information manually,” Alexis tells Sustainability Magazine.

“It helps companies reduce their footprint by generating SBTi-aligned action plans: the platform’s AI-driven modules analyse emissions hotspots, — particularly within Scope 3 — model “what-if” scenarios (e.g., switching transport modes or changing suppliers) and propose concrete next steps that balance carbon reduction with cost and operational feasibility.

“Finally, Climate Suite streamlines reporting, producing audit-ready deliverables that comply with CSRD, CBAM, ISSB and other evolving standards.”

It structures messy data into audit-ready outputs, pre-fills ESG and LCA templates, benchmarks performance against peers and recommends reduction and supplier strategies. 

It can even generate board-ready slides, bringing decision-grade clarity at the speed of AI. 

Built on responsible AI principles and low-carbon infrastructure, EcoPilot is designed to accelerate credible climate action, not just reporting.

For teams seeking measurable impact, Greenly offers a pragmatic path from calculation to decarbonisation and a faster route to results.
