Turn employee carbon footprints into financial intelligence for sustainable growth.
EcoLedger is a B2B SaaS platform that enables SMEs to measure, manage, and reduce their carbon footprint at the employee level. By syncing with existing financial systems like QuickBooks and Xero, the platform automatically categorizes business activities—such as travel, energy use, and procurement—into granular carbon data per employee. It generates compliance-ready reports aligned with GHG Protocol and EU CSRD, while offering actionable reduction recommendations and vetted offset projects. Designed for companies without in-house sustainability teams, EcoLedger simplifies carbon accounting into a routine financial operation, helping SMEs meet investor demands, win green contracts, and save costs through energy efficiency. With tiered pricing based on headcount, it democratizes access to enterprise-grade carbon management.
Regulatory tailwinds like the EU CSRD and upcoming SEC rules are forcing SMEs to report emissions for the first time, while investors and large buyers increasingly demand carbon transparency in supply chains.
