Best for: Enterprises wanting analyst-validated carbon and ESG data in one platform
Sweep is a Paris and London sustainability data platform founded in 2020 by Rachel Delacour, Yannick Chaze and Raphael Güller.
It was named a Leader in the 2026 IDC MarketScape for Carbon Management and in the 2026 Verdantix Green Quadrant for enterprise carbon management, two analyst rankings a buyer can check without relying on vendor copy.
The product covers Scope 1, 2 and 3 tracking, data collection automation across complex organisations and wider ESG performance management. The company is B Corp certified and registered as an Entreprise à Mission under French law, which writes social and environmental commitments into its bylaws.
It is also a member of the World Bank’s Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition, France Invest and the International Emissions Trading Association, which signals a policy and sustainable-finance orientation rather than a pure software one. The costs of that profile are opacity and breadth.
Pricing is not published anywhere on the site, every plan is reached through a demo, and there is no free tier. Sweep also opened a Denver office in 2025 as part of a US expansion, which matters only if your procurement policy cares where a vendor is growing.
What Sweep does well
- Named a Leader in both the 2026 IDC MarketScape and the 2026 Verdantix Green Quadrant
- B Corp certified and a legally registered Entreprise à Mission, not only a marketing claim
- Measurement, reporting and reduction planning in one platform
- Member of the Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition, France Invest and IETA
Where Sweep falls short
- No published pricing; every quote needs a demo call
- No free tier or self-serve trial
- US office in Denver opened in 2025 as part of a US expansion
Standout feature. One of few EU-headquartered vendors named a Leader by both IDC and Verdantix in the same year, a third-party shortcut during shortlisting.

Best for: Companies wanting software bundled with ESG advisory across CSRD and Taxonomy
Position Green is a Malmö-founded ESG software and advisory business, established in 2015 by Daniel Gaff, Björn Johansson and Rickard Häll. It combines CSRD and ESRS reporting, EU Taxonomy and CSDDD compliance, Scope 1 to 3 carbon accounting and supplier sustainability management in one platform.
It states that it supports more than 1,000 customers in over 30 countries from 11 offices, which makes it one of the larger dedicated ESG vendors headquartered in the EU. Unlike most tools in this category, it is sold with consulting and advisory services built around the software.
That suits an organisation that wants hands-on help interpreting an ESRS materiality assessment rather than a tool it configures alone. It also means the product is less of a self-serve proposition and will likely cost more and move more slowly than a pure SaaS tool.
Ownership has two layers. Norvestor, a Nordic private equity firm, acquired a majority stake in April 2022, and in September 2025 Position Green Group acquired Greenomy, the Brussels Taxonomy specialist. Pricing is not published and there is no trial, so every plan starts with a sales conversation.
What Position Green does well
- CSRD, ESRS, EU Taxonomy and CSDDD alongside Scope 1 to 3 carbon accounting in one platform
- Advisory and consulting bundled with the software rather than sold separately
- Scale: 1,000+ customers, 30+ countries and 11 offices
- Group includes Greenomy for deeper Taxonomy tooling
Where Position Green falls short
- No published pricing and no free tier
- Advisory-led model can cost more and move slower than self-serve software
- Majority-owned by private equity firm Norvestor since 2022
Standout feature. Broad framework coverage delivered with bundled advisory in one relationship, instead of several point tools stitched together.

Best for: Teams wanting a named climate advisor alongside carbon software
Normative is a Stockholm carbon accounting platform founded in 2014 by Kristian Rönn, Adam Wamai Egesa and Robin Undall-Behrend, with further offices in Copenhagen and London. It predates the CSRD-driven wave of newer entrants by several years and says it draws on a database of 349,000 verified emission factors.
The company states that it has consulted with the European Commission on emissions accounting standards and contributed to a UN initiative on the topic. What sets it apart is the human layer: every account includes a named, GHG Protocol-certified Climate Strategy Advisor who works with the customer’s data and methodology.
That puts Normative closer to Position Green than to lighter self-serve tools, and it is the main reason to choose it over a purely automated product. The trade-offs are the usual ones for this category.
Pricing is not published, there is no free tier or trial, and the advisor model can add cost and time for a team that simply wants software. Its public pages also mention fewer named compliance modules, such as EUDR or CBAM, than a broad platform like Coolset.
What Normative does well
- Founded 2014, one of the oldest dedicated carbon accounting vendors in Europe
- Named GHG Protocol-certified advisor included on every account
- Large emission factor database of 349,000 verified factors
- Track record of policy involvement with the European Commission and a UN initiative
Where Normative falls short
- No published pricing anywhere on the public site
- No free tier or self-serve trial
- Advisor-bundled model is less pure self-serve and may cost more
- Fewer named compliance modules than broader platforms
Standout feature. A named, GHG Protocol-certified climate advisor on every account, a level of human expertise most competitors do not include as standard.
Berlin, Germany

Best for: Organisations prioritising decarbonisation planning over reporting alone
Plan A is a Berlin carbon accounting and decarbonisation platform founded in 2017 by Lubomila Jordanova and Nathan Bonnisseau, with a second office in Paris. Its methodology carries TÜV Rheinland certification and the company describes it as GHG Protocol compliant.
It is also B Corp certified and states SOC 2 compliance, a combination of independent validations that few competitors in this category list together. The platform emphasises decarbonisation first. Alongside Scope 1 to 3 measurement and sustainability disclosure reporting it includes AI-assisted decarbonisation modelling, target-setting and supplier engagement tools aimed at turning a footprint into a reduction plan rather than a static disclosure.
Plan A lists clients including BMW, Visa, KFC, Sorare, Alphabet and Mollie on its own site. Pricing is quote-only through a demo request and there is no free tier.
Plan A has raised roughly 40 million US dollars in total funding, including a 27 million dollar round in 2023, so it is venture-backed rather than founder-funded.
Its two-office footprint can also make questions about where data is processed less clear-cut than with a single-site vendor. It is a fair fit for a company that already has a baseline footprint and now needs a credible path to reduce it, and a weaker fit for one that only needs a first inventory.
What Plan A does well
- TÜV Rheinland certified methodology, independent validation most competitors lack
- GHG Protocol compliant, B Corp certified and SOC 2 compliance stated
- Decarbonisation modelling and target-setting beyond measurement
- Established client base including BMW and Visa, per the vendor
Where Plan A falls short
- No published pricing; quote-only through a demo
- No free tier
- Two offices (Berlin and Paris) make data-processing questions less clear-cut
- Smaller scale and office footprint than Position Green
Standout feature. TÜV Rheinland-certified methodology combined with AI-assisted decarbonisation modelling: third-party-validated reduction planning, not just measurement.

Best for: EU mid-market companies covering many regulations with one vendor
Coolset is an Amsterdam compliance platform, founded in 2022 and registered as Coolset B.V. at Egelantiersgracht 572. It sells nine named modules: CSRD, EU Taxonomy, GHG Scope 1 to 3 accounting, EUDR with a simplified edition for SMEs, EUTR, VSME, PPWR and EcoVadis assessment preparation. By named regulatory coverage it is the broadest single platform in this category, which suits a company that faces several overlapping EU regulations at once. Instead of one flat subscription, each module is quoted separately.
Coolset states that onboarding, a customer success manager, sustainability researchers and a four-week accelerator programme are included at no extra cost on every module, and that the base platform includes unlimited users, analytics, automations and an audit trail designed for auditor use.
It is the youngest vendor in the category and its own site does not publish certifications the way Plan A or Sami do. No numeric price is published for any module. For a buyer facing EUDR, PPWR and CSRD obligations in the same year, the single-vendor route removes a procurement round, but ask how deep each module goes before assuming parity.
What Coolset does well
- Broadest named regulatory coverage in the category, from CSRD to PPWR
- Unlimited users included on the base platform
- Onboarding, customer success manager and accelerator included at no extra module cost
- Per-module quoting lets a buyer pay only for frameworks that apply
Where Coolset falls short
- No numeric pricing published for any module
- Youngest vendor in the category, founded 2022
- No certifications stated on the vendor’s own site
- Breadth can mean less carbon accounting depth than a pure-play tool
Standout feature. Nine regulatory modules from CSRD to PPWR under one vendor relationship, with unlimited users and onboarding included.
Paris, France
Founded 2019
Three named tiers (GHG Report Compliance, Climate Action Ready, Net Zero Contributor), all quoted on request; add-ons priced separately
None stated
Best for: SMBs wanting a clearly staged entry point into carbon accounting
Greenly is a Paris carbon accounting platform established in 2019 and built primarily for small and mid-sized businesses. It covers Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions accounting, life cycle analysis, and compliance support for frameworks including TCFD, SBTi, CBAM and EUDR.
Compared with enterprise carbon suites it carries less platform overhead, which is the main reason an SMB would pick it. Its pricing page names three tiers rather than hiding the structure. GHG Report Compliance is the entry tier, Climate Action Ready adds a physical Scope 3 analysis and is described as the most popular, and Net Zero Contributor adds scenario simulation, a trajectory builder and a dedicated project manager.
None lists a number, but the named differences make a first conversation easier to scope. Optional add-ons such as a custom API integration, SSO and extra entity or activity modules are priced separately, so the effective cost can grow beyond the base tier.
The vendor states no certifications on its pricing page, and it has less independent analyst recognition than Sweep. A company with a mature carbon team and complex multi-entity consolidation needs may outgrow it, which is part of why Sweep and Position Green rank above it here.
What Greenly does well
- Three named, feature-differentiated tiers instead of one "contact sales" button
- Life cycle analysis included alongside Scope 1 to 3 accounting
- Built for SMB and mid-market with less enterprise overhead
- Covers TCFD, SBTi, CBAM and EUDR frameworks
Where Greenly falls short
- No numeric prices; tiers are named but not priced
- No certifications stated on the pricing page
- Add-ons priced separately can grow the effective cost
- Less independent analyst recognition than Sweep
Standout feature. Three clearly differentiated tiers and LCA included, a more transparent structure than a single demo button even without published prices.

Best for: French companies wanting certified carbon accounting at scale
Sami is a Paris decarbonisation and ESG reporting platform established in March 2020, with French offices in Marseille, Bordeaux and Lyon and a London office. It combines a Carbon Hub for Scope 1 to 3 measurement and net-zero strategy, an ESG Hub for sustainability reporting, and consulting and training.
It cites a database of more than 300,000 emission factors and says it serves more than 2,000 clients, describing itself as France’s most widely used carbon accounting software. Certification depth is its strongest card: GHG Protocol certification, ISO 27001 certification and B Corp certification with a 3-star Positive Company rating.
For procurement teams that need a security attestation at company level, that is more than most of this category states publicly. The ownership caveat is the clearest in the list. In November 2025 SGS SA, a Geneva testing, inspection and certification group, acquired a majority stake.
Sami remains a French-registered company headquartered in Paris, but the shareholder is Swiss rather than EU. Pricing is quote-only, with no number published. For a French buyer the presence in Paris, Marseille, Bordeaux and Lyon and the certification set make it a natural shortlist entry, while a buyer with a strict EU-ownership policy should ask what SGS’s stake means for the roadmap.
What Sami does well
- Large stated client base of 2,000+ across Europe
- GHG Protocol, ISO 27001 and B Corp certified
- Carbon accounting, ESG reporting and consulting in one relationship
- Emission factor database of 300,000+
Where Sami falls short
- Majority shareholder SGS SA is Swiss (non-EU) since November 2025
- No published numeric pricing
- No free tier stated
- Recent acquisition makes the independent roadmap less certain
Standout feature. A rare combination of scale and certification depth: GHG Protocol, ISO 27001 and B Corp together with a 2,000-plus client base.
Brussels, Belgium
Founded 2020
Free trial account advertised; paid plans quoted on request
Free trial account
Best for: Corporates and financial institutions needing EU Taxonomy alignment data
Greenomy is a Brussels ESG platform established in 2020 and built specifically around EU Taxonomy alignment reporting and CSRD compliance, rather than broad carbon accounting.
It targets corporates, credit institutions and asset managers that must produce granular Taxonomy-aligned disclosure data, and it has distribution alliances with PwC Belgium, Deloitte and Accenture to reach enterprise customers.
Its own site advertises a free trial account rather than routing every visitor straight to a sales call, which is rare in this category. The depth and limits of that free access are not detailed on the marketing page, so confirm directly whether it covers a full reporting cycle before relying on it.
In September 2025 Greenomy was acquired by Position Green Group of Malmö, the ESG vendor ranked second in this directory. It continues to operate and sell as a separate Brussels-built product, but its roadmap now depends on a parent.
The narrow focus means it has no dedicated Scope 1 to 3 carbon accounting depth. It is best read as a Taxonomy and disclosure specialist to pair with a carbon tool, and its place near the bottom of this ranking reflects scope rather than product quality.
What Greenomy does well
- Free trial account advertised, a self-serve entry point
- Narrow, deep focus on EU Taxonomy alignment and CSRD
- Distribution alliances with PwC Belgium, Deloitte and Accenture
- Backed by Position Green Group since September 2025
Where Greenomy falls short
- No dedicated Scope 1 to 3 carbon accounting depth
- No certifications stated on the vendor’s own site
- Acquired in September 2025, so long-term independence is less certain
- Free trial limits are not documented on the marketing page
Standout feature. A self-serve free trial account combined with a narrow, deep focus on EU Taxonomy alignment data.
Ulm, Germany
Founded 2018
Not published; offer on request through a consultation call
None stated; a 30-minute online consultation is the entry point
Best for: German-speaking companies wanting ESRS reporting with named German hosting
preeco is a compliance software company founded in 2018 and based in Ulm, registered as preeco GmbH at Amtsgericht Ulm under HRB 737082.
Its sustainability product is positioned as a central solution for CSRD-conformant ESG reporting, and the vendor states that all ten ESRS topical standards, E1 to E5, S1 to S4 and G1, are available, including a double materiality assessment and ten disclosure report generators. The carbon layer covers Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions with a supplier portal, all 15 Scope 3 categories, GRI 302 and 305 cross-mapping, EUDR and 24 languages.
The vendor says the platform is ready to operate in 48 hours, supports multi-tenant group structures and offers support in German and English.
Hosting is the standout: cloud and private cloud in ISO 27001 certified data centres in Germany, with an on-premises option. preeco is a privacy-and-compliance suite first, with data protection, information security and whistleblowing sitting beside sustainability. That breadth helps a team that wants one vendor for several compliance duties and works less well for a buyer who wants a specialist carbon scientist. Pricing is not published; an offer comes after a 30-minute online consultation.
What preeco does well
- All ten ESRS topical standards stated as productive, with double materiality assessment
- Hosting in ISO 27001 certified German data centres, with private cloud and on-premises options
- Scope 1 to 3 with supplier portal, EUDR and 24 languages
- Multi-tenant structure for groups with several subsidiaries
- Support in German and English
Where preeco falls short
- No published pricing; offer on request after a consultation
- Compliance suite first, less of a carbon specialist than Normative or Sweep
- No analyst rankings or certifications for the product itself are stated, beyond its data centres
Standout feature. The only tool in this category that documents cloud, private cloud and on-premises hosting options, all with German data centres.

Best for: Finance and sustainability teams steering carbon like a financial KPI
Cozero is a Berlin climate software company founded in 2020, registered as Cozero GmbH at Amtsgericht Berlin-Charlottenburg under HRB 218586 B.
It pitches a shift from carbon accounting to carbon controlling: data collection by bulk upload, API or direct supplier input, a calculation engine with more than one million vetted emission factors, and dashboards designed so finance and sustainability teams work from the same data. Beyond the accounting layer, Cozero offers target setting, forecast building with carbon price scenarios and an evaluation of reduction actions by ROI, payback period and marginal abatement cost.
Reporting covers CSRD, CDP and internal governance with audit management and read-only access for auditors. Separate solution pages cover corporate and product carbon footprints, supplier engagement and CBAM.
Be precise about the CSRD claim: the vendor’s own CSRD page scopes it to ESRS E1 climate data, not the full set of ESRS standards. Hosting is stated as an AWS cloud environment without a named region. Pricing is not published and goes through a demo request. It sits well for an enterprise with an emissions focus, less so for a full sustainability statement.
What Cozero does well
- Carbon controlling approach with forecasting, carbon price scenarios and ROI-ranked actions
- Over one million vetted emission factors and custom factor support
- Supplier engagement for Scope 3 and PCF solutions
- Audit management with read-only access and an immutable audit trail
Where Cozero falls short
- CSRD coverage is scoped to ESRS E1 climate data on the vendor’s own page
- Hosted on AWS with no region named on the security page
- No published pricing; demo request only
- No Cozero-specific certification stated; only its cloud providers’ attestations are listed
Standout feature. Carbon treated as a financial variable: forecasts, carbon prices and ROI-ranked reduction actions inside the same platform that produces the disclosure data.

No price list published; "Start for free" sign-up and a demo request are offered on the website
Self-serve "Start for free" sign-up; limits not stated on the page
Best for: Spanish and Southern European industrial companies needing EINF and CSRD
Dcycle is a Madrid ESG data platform operated by The Wake Up Movement, S.L., registered in the Madrid Mercantile Registry in October 2019. It is aimed at companies that make, transform and move physical products and brings supplier, facility, purchasing and workforce data into one model.
The vendor lists frameworks including CSRD, GHG Protocol, EINF, GRI, CDP, EcoVadis, LCA, GLEC, SBTi, PPWR, EUDR, VSME and the ISO 14001 family. Its CSRD page promises every ESRS data point automated, from double materiality through to XBRL-tagged reports. Other modules cover Scope 1 to 3 carbon footprint, product LCA, a CDP questionnaire, supplier engagement, multi-entity management and integrations with SAP, Sage and Dynamics.
An AI assistant called Leia and an MCP server let teams query the data in natural language. It is the only Spanish vendor in this list and the only one that calls out the EINF non-financial statement and MITECO emission factors by name.
It offers a "Start for free" sign-up, but the limits are not stated, pricing is otherwise not published, and certifications could not be verified because its trust center is not readable without scripts. Claims such as 70 percent less reporting time are the vendor’s own.
What Dcycle does well
- Spanish regulatory coverage including EINF and MITECO emission factors
- Broad framework list from CSRD and CDP to ISO 14001 and EUDR
- Self-serve "Start for free" sign-up alongside demo requests
- Supplier engagement, product LCA and multi-entity consolidation in one platform
Where Dcycle falls short
- No published price list and free-tier limits are not stated
- Certifications could not be verified on the pages we read
- Efficiency figures such as 70 percent less reporting time are vendor claims
- Industrial and product-company focus is less suited to a services firm
Standout feature. Local Spanish regulatory depth, EINF and MITECO factors, inside a platform that also covers CSRD, CDP and product LCA.
