Become a partnerCCF Software for Reliable Carbon Accounting
VERSO combines software and climate consulting in Corporate Carbon Footprint software that offers more than just emissions calculation: with a transparent data basis, a traceable methodology, in-depth Scope 3 coverage, and results that directly support reporting and decarbonization.
Missing data, incorrect factors, high effort: why many CCFs are not reliable
A carbon footprint, better known as a Corporate Carbon Footprint or CCF, is meant to serve as the basis for your decarbonization. But many companies still lack a reliable CCF that truly shows where emissions arise and where reduction potential exists. Instead of providing a clear basis for decision-making, carbon accounting often remains just a mandatory part of the sustainability report.
Typical challenges for sustainability managers:
- Limited primary data, especially from the supply chain: This means Scope 3 remains a black box, even though it is usually where the greatest leverage lies.
- Uncertainty around emission factors: too many sources, different methods, and little clarity on what actually fits.
- High manual effort in calculation: while requirements for transparency and auditability continue to rise.
Start well with clear information
Define your corporate structure and emission categories
The first question is: What exactly should be included in your carbon accounting? In the CCF software, you define how your company is structured, which units are included, and which methodology you apply:
- Multi-level mapping for your organizational structure
- Configuration of relevant GHG emission categories
- Automatic adaptation of input screens to your system boundaries
This makes it clear from the start what is calculated and what is not.
Collect GHG-compliant cata via bulk upload and API
Collect and calculate data efficiently in the CCF software
Data collection determines how reliable your Corporate Carbon Footprint will be in the end. You can import large volumes of data via CSV or connect them directly from your existing ERP systems via API. At the same time, the CCF software automatically assesses data quality:
- Bulk data upload via CSV or API connection
- Collection of energy data, including for ESRS-compliant energy balances
- Automatic assessment of data quality and uncertainty by category for SBTi compliance
- Task management for international teams
- GHG-compliant data structure and audit-ready documentation
- Integration of supplier-specific data and factors
For data collection that simply works.
Over 400,000 emission factors: automatically mapped, you only review.
Assign emission factors with AI support
You probably do not have your own emission factors for many activities. This is exactly where things often become hard to keep track of. The Climate Hub uses AI and automation to help you find suitable factors for your Corporate Carbon Footprint and apply them correctly:
- Access to a large database with over 400,000 emission factors
- AI-supported matching of emission factors to your data
- Predefined factors for a quick start
- Automatic calculation based on market-based and location-based approaches
So you can achieve reliable results even without your own factors.
CCF software you can rely on
Complete and plausibility-check data
Before you work with the results, the data needs to be reliable. The Corporate Carbon Footprint software uses an integrated completeness check to ensure that no relevant information is missing. Your CCF is always compliant with ISO 14064. For expert plausibility checks, our experienced consultants are also there to support you.
- Integrated completeness check for your emissions data
- CCF compliant with ISO 14064
- Optional: expert plausibility check by experienced consultants
So you can work with data you can rely on.
In-depth analyses, clear charts, and a meaningful CCF report
Report the CCF and analyze results
A Corporate Carbon Footprint only creates value if you can understand and use the results. With VERSO’s CCF software, you can analyze your data from different perspectives and use it directly for reporting.
- Multi-level graphical analysis by scopes, categories, and activities
- Export of data and charts
- Clear, GHG Protocol-compliant presentation of your carbon footprint
- Automatic calculation and output of relevant ESRS metrics
- Automatic audit-compliant report aligned with the GHG Protocol as a PDF
For reporting that is traceable and supports your everyday work.
The CCF as the starting point for your decarbonization strategy
Define targets and implement measures
Carbon accounting is the starting point. After that, it is about reducing emissions. You can define targets and manage measures directly in the CCF software:
- Definition of climate targets for different target years, including in line with SBTi
- Planning and tracking of measures
- Support in assessing progress through gap analyses
This turns the Corporate Carbon Footprint into a working tool for your decarbonization.
Tailored climate consulting as needed
We do not leave you alone with your CCF: In addition to the Climate Hub, you can also rely on the expertise of our experienced climate consulting team. Whether you need support with CCF and PCF calculations in accordance with ISO 14064 and 14067, want to benefit from in-depth climate risk and resilience analyses, would like guidance on your path toward SBTi-validated climate targets, or want to develop a holistic decarbonization strategy: We support you exactly where you want to move forward. Individually, practically, and tailored to your industry. When it makes sense for your progress, we also involve external partners.
- Individual support along your climate strategy.
- Support with integration into internal processes.
- Expert review of your data basis and target systems.
- Industry-specific expertise and modular consulting packages.
- Cooperation with specialized partners.
- Help for self-help — or long-term partnership.
What you can do better with VERSO’s CCF software
An initial CCF calculation can be done quickly. It only becomes truly valuable when data, calculations, and assumptions are transparent, Scope 3 is captured cleanly, and the results can be reused directly. That is exactly what the VERSO Climate Hub is built for.
Full transparency across data and calculations
You can see at any time which data flows into your CCF, how calculations are performed, and where assumptions were made.
In-depth Scope 3 coverage in the CCF software
You go beyond rough estimates and capture Scope 3 emissions at the level of individual categories and activities.
Reuse CCF data directly
Your results flow directly into sustainability reporting in the ESG Hub.
Integrate supplier data directly into the CCF
With the Supply Chain Hub, you collect missing data from your suppliers in a targeted way and close gaps in your Corporate Carbon Footprint.
Support from experienced experts
Especially at the beginning, it helps to set up methodology and processes correctly. Our consultants bring the experience needed.
Automation without losing control
Recurring steps run automatically, while you can always trace what is happening in the background.
With the support of the VERSO consultants and the Climate Hub, we have drawn up our first climate footprint report. Now we can gradually reduce our GHG emissions and track the development of our decarbonization strategy using the VERSO software.
The collaboration with VERSO on carbon accounting was very collaborative and solution-oriented from the very beginning. The combination of expert consulting and intuitive software helped us address complex customer requirements in a structured and efficient way.
Thanks to VERSO’s expertise and support, we have adapted our processes to establish sustainability as an integral part of our corporate strategy.
VERSO advises us very competently at every point and every step. In this way, VERSO has made it easier for us to find our way around the complex topic of CSR.
VERSO’s convincing features range from all-round support throughout the entire project to the seamless, flexible integration of the ESG software and the ability to clearly assign responsibilities and content in the backend. In future, we will also be using the supply chain platform and climate software from VERSO.
