Carbon footprint software FAQs
What is carbon footprint software?
Carbon footprint software measures an organisation's greenhouse gas emissions across energy, travel, purchases and supply chain, then turns them into a shareable report. Compare Your Footprint does this for UK SMEs using GHG Protocol and UK Government emission factors, with sector benchmarking built in.
How is carbon footprint software different from a free carbon calculator?
A free calculator gives a quick, anonymous estimate. Carbon footprint software gives you a documented, benchmarked result you can defend when a customer, auditor or tender asks how you calculated it, plus a report you can actually send. Our Discover tier is the smallest first step.
Does it cover Scope 3 emissions?
Yes. Compare Your Footprint supports all 15 Scope 3 categories, from purchased goods and services to business travel and waste, alongside Scope 1 and 2.
Is the output good enough for SECR and tenders?
Yes. Reports are formatted for SECR-style disclosure and structured for the UK SRS transition, with every figure traceable to recognised factors — the evidence procurement teams and auditors expect.
How much does carbon footprint software cost?
Compare Your Footprint starts from £299 per year, with a free trial and no credit card required to start. Pricing scales by the tier that matches your reporting needs.
