About Emitrics

In today's business landscape, climate commitments and ESG transparency aren't just buzzwords—they're business imperatives. Yet most companies are still guessing at their environmental impact rather than measuring it with precision.

At Emitrics, we've completely reimagined carbon accounting to make it more intuitive, intelligent, and immediately useful. Our approach transforms sustainability reporting from a compliance headache into a strategic advantage by unlocking insights already hidden in your financial data.

The Carbon Visibility Challenge

Traditional carbon footprint tracking software measures greenhouse gas emissions across an organisation's entire operation, categorising them into:

  • Scope 1: Direct emissions from sources you own or control
  • Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased electricity and energy
  • Scope 3: All other indirect emissions throughout your value chain

While most solutions handle Scopes 1 and 2 effectively, Scope 3 emissions—which often represent over 70% of a company's carbon footprint—remain a blind spot for many businesses. Emitrics changes that equation.

Your Financial Data: The Untapped Sustainability Resource

The breakthrough insight behind Emitrics is elegantly simple: your existing financial records contain nearly everything needed to map your carbon footprint.

By analysing transaction data you already collect, our platform automatically translates spending into emissions using sophisticated input-output methodology. This approach gives you comprehensive coverage across all three scopes from day one—without requiring additional data collection, specialised expertise, or disruption to your workflows.

Start Today, Improve Tomorrow

What truly sets Emitrics apart is our progressive refinement approach. You can:

Begin immediately with industry-standard emission factors

Enhance accuracy by incorporating supplier-specific data

Achieve precision with product-level emissions information

This flexible methodology means you don't need perfect data to get started. Your carbon accounting can mature alongside your sustainability strategy, becoming more sophisticated as you gather better information.

Designed for the Overlooked Middle

The market has plenty of enterprise sustainability platforms that demand six-figure budgets and dedicated teams. It also offers simplistic calculators that provide little more than rough estimates.

Emitrics fills the crucial gap between these extremes. We've built a powerful yet accessible platform specifically for mid-sized businesses that need real carbon intelligence without the enterprise price tag or specialised staff requirements.

Our solution is designed for finance and operations professionals—the people who already understand your business data—not just sustainability experts.

Compliance Without Complexity

With frameworks like the GHG Protocol, CSRD, and Science-Based Targets Initiative becoming increasingly mandatory, robust carbon reporting is no longer optional.

Emitrics generates audit-ready reports aligned with these standards automatically. When regulators or investors ask questions, you'll have answers backed by methodical, transparent data.
