In addition to meeting a common objective - that of collectively reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and thus combating climate change - there are several reasons you should carry out your own carbon assessment (Article here). Among them :
- to satisfy the new expectations of customers (especially the younger consumers);
- to control costs;
- to attract investors;
- to boost your brand image;
- to anticipate legislative changes that are already underway.

Greenly takes a snapshot of your direct and indirect emissions (scopes 1, 2 and 3), and then analyzes the physical and monetary flows linked to your activity. So essentially, we collect all the activity data of your company and translate this activity into greenhouse gasses. Thanks to our innovative technology, we can automate the analysis and collection of this data. To date, there are more than 100 business applications on our interface that allow us to quantify the majority of activities that generate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Greenly offers an integrated platform to manage your climate strategy from A to Z:
- a complete, accurate, easy, and quick carbon assessment ;
- a library of action plans and virtuous alternatives to reduce your greenhouse gas emissions;
- a questionnaire for your employees to raise their awareness of climate issues;
- a complete reporting tool to communicate your progress to your stakeholders on a regular basis.

Right now in the US, there are no laws that require a business to do so. Nevertheless, be aware that initiating such a process without being forced to do so by law can be highly beneficial. It shows your commitment to environmental issues, and it also protects you from greenwashing - by calculating your carbon footprint you demonstrate that you are making concrete improvements, and shows that you are transparent about your carbon emissions. In addition, regulations are expected to take place and affect companies in the coming years.

Many government agencies and entities offer grants. Since February 2021, the carbon footprint of companies can be reimbursed by up to 80% by [ADEME].

The Life Cycle Assessment is a multi-stage and multi-criteria analysis. The result allows you to measure the environmental impact generated by a product or a service throughout its life cycle from the extraction of raw materials to the end of life, passing by the stages of manufacture, use, etc.

The realization of an LCA can be particularly interesting for :
- public authorities;
- scientists;
- industrial companies.
However, any structure offering products and/or services has the possibility to carry out an LCA.

A Life Cycle Assessment is useful for:
- identifying the environmental issues and impacts of a company;
- developing eco-designed products;
- comparing the environmental impact of products with those of competitors;
- consolidating brand image and standing out from the competition.

LCA is composed of 4 steps, which are totally interdependent:
1. Define the scope of the study and the functional unit used;
2. Carry out the inventory of life cycle data;
3. Evaluate the environmental impacts;
4. Interpret the results.

Working with your suppliers is critical to the implementation of your low-carbon strategy - and to its success. It allows you to : - refine your Scope 3 emissions (which are, by definition, the hardest to estimate);
- visualize the climate score of all your suppliers and better understand their own impact on the environment;
- implement a responsible purchasing policy by studying the low-carbon alternatives available through our supplier directory.

The process consists of 4 steps:
1. Your company sends us a list of all its suppliers;
2. We contact them by sending them a questionnaire, the purpose of which is to evaluate the ecological performance of each supplier;
3. The collected information is integrated into the Greenly interface;
4. Your suppliers can start their own decarbonization process, reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and thus establish an environmentally responsible business policy.

More than 40 criteria are taken into consideration when evaluating your suppliers. They allow us to carry out an evaluation taking into account the specificities linked to the size of their structure and their sector of activity. A grade between A and E is then awarded and communicated via the platform. 💻 On your side, you can access all the results of your suppliers on the same platform. This allows you to:
- Have an objective view of your partners' commitment ;
- Identify new opportunities and low-carbon alternatives;
- Improve your purchasing policy.

For companies that have already carried out their carbon footprint with the help of another organization, we directly retrieve the data from this assessment and, after validation of the methodology, we may refine the company's emissions using our own tools. Similarly, if the supplier has published its results officially (via the ADEME or CDP website), we automatically retrieve them and integrate them into the Greenly database.

TCFD has now been superseded by IFRS S2 as the global standard for climate-related financial disclosures. However, IFRS S2 was explicitly built on the TCFD framework — meaning its four core pillars (governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics & targets) remain fully embedded. For companies already aligned with TCFD, transitioning to IFRS S2 is straightforward.

IFRS S1 outlines general sustainability-related disclosure requirements, while IFRS S2 has fully integrated TCFD and focuses specifically on climate-related risks and opportunities. Both are issued by the ISSB (International Sustainability Standards Board) and aim to standardize ESG reporting for investors and regulators.

As of 2024, IFRS S1/S2 is mandatory & applies to companies operating in jurisdictions adopting ISSB standards. This includes public and private firms preparing sustainability disclosures for investors, particularly across the UK, EU, Canada, Australia, and emerging markets adopting ISSB.

IFRS S1 requires disclosure of material sustainability-related risks and opportunities and how they affect the company's financial position.

IFRS S2 specifically requires information on:
- Governance of climate-related risks ;
- Identified climate risks and opportunities ;
- Climate resilience under different scenarios ;
- Metrics and targets used to manage climate risk.

IFRS S1 and S2 consolidate and build upon frameworks like TCFD, SASB, and CDSB, providing a global baseline for sustainability reporting. CSRD is broader in scope (covering double materiality and social governance topics), while IFRS focuses primarily on information relevant to investors — particularly climate-related financial impacts. However, Greenly’s ESG App has shared data streams for each ESG framework: no need to re-collect or re-format.

Disclosures must be produced annually as part of your general financial reporting — typically published within the same timeframe as your audited financial statements. Greenly’s platform supports version tracking, collaboration between different teams, and year-on-year comparisons.

Timelines vary based on company size, complexity, and data readiness. Most companies can prepare a compliant report within 6–12 weeks using Greenly’s platform and expert support. Our tools accelerate data collection, emissions tracking, scenario planning, and disclosure drafting.

The accounting export file will allow us to obtain conversions of $ into CO2 via the ADEME emissions factors. When we have identified items with high emission factors, we will complete them with physical quantity measurements and work with more physical data from your organization.

We are certified by ADEME (French Environment and Energy Management Agency), GreenHouse Gas Protocol (global equivalent), and CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project). We are also certified by GreenTech Innovation and by the Ministry of Ecological Transition. Recently, our solution was awarded the Science Based Targets label.

The price of a carbon assessment varies according to its level of difficulty. Some sectors of activity are more difficult to analyze than others in terms of environmental impact.

Yes, Greenly's Scientific Council is made up of about ten people: experts in the field of climate, economists, but also members of civil society who are willing to support the organization in developing its solution.

Yes, a security insurance plan is available in our appendix. Additionally:
- an audit (now closed) has been conducted by the CNIL (Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés);
- we have already been evaluated by many banking clients (BNP, RCI Bank);
- Greenly employees are trained in security rules via the Qontrol platform

Yes our platform provides a marketplace dedicated to offsetting.

No, our platform is extremely intuitive and user-friendly and you don’t need any technical skill to use it. If any question comes up, we have an online support that is included in all our packages and except for the GHG Report Compliance package a dedicated climate expert with help you with be happy to support you. Besides, in the platform you’ll find our Greenly Academy to help you improve your knowledge about climate and carbon related topics.

No setup fees, no hidden costs in our packages.

SBTi is an emissions trajectory commitment framework, rather than a framework that audits a climate strategy.
The pre-requisites of SBTi are accomplishing a recent GHG Assessment and identifying actions to be implemented towards decarbonisation.
To note, SBTi does an audit every 5 years to assess if the emissions trajectory is respected. Greenly is here to support its clients in designing their Emissions Trajectory and tracking progress with the Decarbonisation Pathway tool.

Net-Zero Strategy, or “Long Term Strategy”, refers to an optional, long term commitment: 90% emissions reduction by 2050 at the latest. Greenly may support its clients for this endeavour — creating the application document and crafting the mitigation strategy.

Between 1 month for an SME and 4-6 month for a large company.

EcoVadis is the global gold standard for business sustainability ratings, evaluating performance across four critical themes: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. Trusted by over 100,000 companies worldwide, an EcoVadis medal is now a primary requirement for enterprises looking to verify the sustainability of their global supply chains.

Register on EcoVadis, fill out the sustainability questionnaire, upload documents, and wait for assessment. Greenly offers a pre-audit to guide you and boost your chances from the start.

Unlike standardised frameworks, EcoVadis customises its questionnaires based on company size, sector, and primary country of operation. This makes it more flexible yet specific to your business context. EcoVadis also places strong emphasis on documented evidence rather than just self-reported data.

Yes, EcoVadis has assessment methodologies adapted for companies of all sizes, from small businesses to multinational corporations. The questionnaire and requirements are tailored to your company's specific context.

1. Environment: Energy consumption, water usage, biodiversity impact, customer health
2. Labor & Human Rights: Employee health & safety, social dialogue, diversity initiatives
3. Ethics: Anti-corruption measures, responsible information management
4. Sustainable Procurement: Supplier environmental & social practices

• Platinum: Top 1% (highest recognition)

• Gold: Top 5%

• Silver: Top 25%

• Bronze: Top 50%

Typically, the process takes 8-12 weeks from start to finish. This includes data collection, evidence gathering, submission, and assessment by EcoVadis. With Greenly's platform, many companies can reduce this timeline significantly.

No, EcoVadis only allows one submission per assessment cycle. This makes it critical to ensure your submission is complete and accurate the first time. Greenly's pre-audit capabilities help maximise your score potential before this single submission. Companies need to undergo reassessment annually to maintain their certification status.

EcoVadis requires structured documentation across seven management indicators: Policies, Endorsements, Measures, Certifications, Coverage, Reporting, and 360° Watch Findings. Documentation must be properly formatted and conclusive to earn maximum points.

CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) is a European Union regulation designed to impose a tariff on carbon-intensive imports. It aims to prevent carbon leakage and ensure that EU industries are not undercut by foreign competitors with lower environmental standards. As the carbon allowance prices increase, businesses importing high-carbon goods will face rising costs unless they take action to reduce their emissions.

The sectors impacted by CBAM are iron and steel, aluminium, cement, fertilizers, hydrogen, and electricity. These industries typically have high carbon emissions, and CBAM aims to ensure they face the same carbon pricing as EU producers.

The introduction of CBAM will increase the cost of importing carbon-intensive goods into the EU. For example, the price of allowances will rise significantly up to 2034, making it essential for companies to address emissions in their supply chains now.

Greenly helps businesses lower their carbon exposure and mitigate rising allowance costs by:
Automating emissions data collection and reporting
Engaging suppliers to reduce emissions
Identifying alternative low-carbon options and emission reduction opportunities
Providing insights on how to optimize your supply chain for better sustainability outcomes
By lowering the overall carbon intensity of your supply chain, Greenly helps reduce your financial exposure to CBAM tariffs.
Using Greenly offers both cost savings and compliance benefits. By reducing carbon emissions, businesses can lower their CBAM tariffs and achieve long-term cost efficiencies. Additionally, Greenly ensures regulatory compliance, avoiding penalties and promoting fair competition. This aligns with corporate social responsibility goals and mitigates climate-related risks.

No, Greenly is an all-in-one sustainability platform. While we excel in CBAM compliance, our platform also supports broader sustainability efforts such as GHG assessments, decarbonization strategies, and reporting for other regulations like CSRD. This means you can manage all of your sustainability needs through a single platform.

It’s best to start as soon as possible. The impact of CBAM on costs will only grow over time, and starting early gives you a head start on understanding and reducing your carbon footprint. By beginning the process now, you can identify cost-saving opportunities, engage your suppliers, and ensure compliance well before the tariffs increase significantly.

As a declarant, your company will face increasing costs due to the CBAM tariffs imposed on carbon-intensive imports. The price of allowances will rise over time, and by 2034, your costs could significantly increase—potentially as much as 400 euros per ton for certain imports. If you fail to reduce the carbon intensity of your supply chain, you will be forced to pay higher allowances, leading to a greater financial burden.

It’s the UK’s mandatory framework for climate reporting. Based on global IFRS S1 and S2 standards, it requires large companies to disclose their carbon emissions and financial climate risks in a way that is clear and consistent for investors.

These standards primarily target UK-listed companies, large financial institutions, and private entities that meet specific size thresholds - typically those with over 500 employees. It’s the essential framework if you need to satisfy FCA regulations or provide high-quality climate risk data to your investors.

We use a "Double-Mapping" logic. As you report against your specific UK SRS criteria, the platform automatically syncs that data with IFRS S2 requirements. This ensures your board-level financial disclosures stay perfectly consistent without any extra work.

Instead of relying on rough estimates - which are often inaccurate - you can invite your suppliers to a secure portal. They upload their actual energy and activity data directly, giving you the verified "Primary Data" you need for UK SRS compliance.

Yes. We provide the "Scenario Analysis" required by the latest standards. By modelling risks like flooding or new energy regulations against various climate pathways, we provide the precise financial data you need for your mandatory filings.

ESPR (the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation) is a new EU law that raises the bar for product sustainability. It sets new standards for durability, reparability, and recyclability for nearly all physical goods sold in the EU - covering everything from electronics to textiles.

Think of the DPP as a "digital identity card" for your product. It’s a mandatory tool that provides everyone in the value chain - from regulators to consumers - with clear data on material origins, environmental footprint (LCA), and how a product can be repaired or recycled. You can access it via a simple QR code or digital ID.
Timeline: Obligations starting from 2026-2027.

The EU is rolling this out in stages. Between 2025 and 2027, priority is being given to high-impact sectors:

• Textiles & Clothing

• Electronics (Smartphones, laptops, appliances)

• Furniture

• Steel, Aluminum, and Chemicals

• Tires & Detergents After 2028, these rules will expand to cover almost all physical products.

Everyone has a part to play:

• Brands & Manufacturers: Must redesign products to meet sustainability standards and build the DPP.

• Suppliers: Must provide the underlying data (LCA, PCF) so their clients can create the passport.

• Distributors & Retailers: Must verify that a product is compliant before putting it on the shelf.

The risks are immediate and financial. Without compliance, you face:

• Market Exclusion: Your products simply cannot be sold in the EU.

• Retailer Rejection: Major retailers will drop non-compliant brands from their catalogs.

• Tender Disqualification: You’ll be blocked from public contracts (a €1.8 trillion market).

• Fines: National authorities can impose heavy financial penalties for non-compliance.

Collecting supply chain data and conducting Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) takes months, not weeks.

• 2025: The official list of regulated products arrives.

• 2026-2027: The first wave of DPP requirements begins. If you wait until 2026 to start mapping your supply chain, you’ll likely find yourself behind the curve and unable to meet distributor deadlines.

No - ESPR applies to every player putting products on the EU market, including SMEs, independent brands, and importers. Even if you aren't a giant retailer, those marketplaces (like Amazon or Fnac) will soon require a compliant DPP from you to keep your listings active.

The EUDR bans products produced on land deforested after December 31, 2020. Companies must prove products are "deforestation-free" by providing precise GPS coordinates of the production site and submitting a formal Due Diligence Statement.

Any business importing, exporting, or selling these seven commodities (or their derivatives, like leather or paper) in the EU: Cattle, Cocoa, Coffee, Oil Palm, Rubber, Soya, and Wood.

• Large & Medium Companies: December 30, 2026.

• Micro & Small Enterprises: June 30, 2027.

Failing to comply carries a mandatory fine of up to 4% of your total annual EU turnover, product confiscation, and a total ban from the European market.

Most tools only provide satellite data without the context you need for reporting. Greenly provides an "orchestration layer" that connects these insights directly to your carbon accounting and CSRD workflows. We turn data into a unified ESG ecosystem - something standalone tools simply can't do

Very little. We use AI Auto-fill to automate data extraction from supplier documents. Your team moves from "chasing data" to "managing exceptions" - only stepping in if the AI flags a high-risk plot.

Our pricing is tiered based on supplier volume, ensuring your costs stay proportional to the scale of your business.

We offer "Proxy-Onboarding". This allows cooperatives and aggregators to upload data on behalf of their farmers, ensuring smallholders remain included in the EU market.

Your data security is our priority. We use enterprise-grade encryption and strict isolation protocols to ensure supplier data stays private. We are fully compliant with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 standards, and your data is used strictly for regulatory purposes - never shared or sold.

PPWR is EU Regulation 2025/40, the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation. It replaced the previous Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive, turning a patchwork of national rules into one directly applicable regulation. It entered into force on 11 February 2025 and its general application began on 12 August 2026. Scope is broad: any economic operator placing packaging on the EU market is covered. That includes manufacturers, importers and distributors of packaged products; final distributors such as retailers, brands and HORECA businesses; online platforms and fulfilment services shipping packaged goods to EU consumers; and any EU supply chain business that fills, uses or unpacks packaging. Micro-enterprises under 10 employees have limited exemptions. Most EU businesses that touch packaging do not.

Requirements vary by product category, but a complete file currently has to cover: hazardous substance declarations, including SVHC under REACH and PFAS limits for food-contact packaging; material composition broken down by substrate, decoration, closure and adhesive; technical documentation supporting design-for-recycling claims; and an EU Declaration of Conformity for each packaging format. From 2030, the recycled content percentage by material type and weight; Recyclability Performance Grade (A, B, C) per upcoming harmonised methodology; packaging-to-product volume ratio, meaning void space limits for specific categories; reuse and refill rate where the category applies; will also be required. Reporting is annual, at product level, broken down by material composition and weight across formats.

Under Article 39, the manufacturer draws up an official declaration stating that a packaging format meets PPWR requirements. The declaration itself is short. What sits behind it is not. You must hold technical documentation proving minimum recycled content, packaging minimisation against empty-space limits, and compliance with substance-of-concern limits such as PFAS and heavy metals. Where primary supplier data is unavailable and proxy values are used, the documentation should evidence the effort made to obtain primary data. Greenly generates a timestamped log of every data request, reminder and escalation for exactly this purpose, and exports the declaration and its supporting file in one click.

EPR contributions are no longer flat. Under PPWR, what a producer pays a Producer Responsibility Organisation is directly modulated by packaging design by rewarding recyclable formats. Under the PPWR, this will become even more stringent with mandatory European recyclability performance grades (A through C) and minimum recycled content thresholds. Better-performing packaging costs less to put on the market; poorly recyclable formats cost more. The practical consequence is that a packaging design decision is now a cost decision, and it is one most teams make blind because the data sits with suppliers. Greenly surfaces material composition figures your Producer Responsibility Organisation uses to set that fee, so your team works from verified numbers rather than supplier estimates when assessing a reformulation.

Two categories. Market exclusion: under Articles 58 and 61, customs authorities can identify and block non-compliant packaging at external EU borders, and authorities can mandate immediate withdrawal or recall of products lacking an EU Declaration of Conformity or proper digital tracking. Administrative fines: under Article 68, member states are required to implement penalties for failing to meet EPR, reporting or minimisation obligations, and those penalties must be effective, proportionate and dissuasive. Fine levels are set nationally and vary by member state. For most companies with meaningful EU revenue, the commercial exposure is not the fine - it is the market access ban and retailer delisting that follow it.

Yes. Food-contact packaging containing PFAS above specified limits is prohibited. PPWR also restricts other substances of concern, and requires declarations covering SVHCs under REACH. Compliance here depends entirely on the accuracy of material composition data from converters and material suppliers, which is why substance declarations are built into Greenly's supplier collection workflows rather than handled separately. The platform tracks chemical composition and PFAS content across the supplier base and flags anything that breaches PPWR limits.

Yes, and this is where most of the time saving comes from. Existing LCA studies, EPDs and PEF assessments can be uploaded and mapped to PPWR data fields automatically. Greenly's methodology is aligned with ISO 14040/44 and PEF, the scientific standards PPWR relies on, so prior work is reusable rather than repeated. The output is a gap list: which fields are already covered, and which SKUs still need data. Companies that have invested in packaging LCA typically start PPWR compliance with a substantial share of the file already populated.

Under Article 12, packaging will progressively require standardised digital data carriers (such as QR codes) to provide consumers with sorting instructions, display EPR compliance, and link directly to the EU Declaration of Conformity, with full recyclability grade labelling following by 2030. The underlying dataset is the same one used for annual reporting and the Declaration of Conformity, which is why it is worth collecting once, at product level, rather than assembling separately for each obligation.

Yes, and that is the point of collecting it once. The packaging inventory and supplier data gathered for PPWR - material composition, weight, recycled content, recyclability grade - is the same input Greenly's LCA engine needs to compute Scope 3 emission factors, and the same data that rolls up into your ESRS E5 disclosures (E5-4, E5-5). PPWR compliance, ESRS E5 reporting and Scope 3 carbon accounting come from the same dataset, in the same place. You buy PPWR, you get LCA-grade Scope 3 precision and a filled-in ESRS E5 disclosure as part of the same workflow.
