Unique Data Value Proposition

Tracenable's GHG emissions data product sets the market benchmark for precision, standardization, reliability, and integrity. Learn why our data stands apart:
Uncompromised Standardization
Our team of environmental engineers meticulously maps reported emissions data to GHG Protocol standards, including detailed categorization of all 15 Scope 3 categories and proper classification of Scope 1 and 2 categories. This guarantees uniformity and comparability across our dataset, bridging the gap created by diverse reporting formats.
Precision in Every Figure
Our advanced cross-source data precision matching algorithm ensures that the most accurate data is always delivered. For instance, an exact figure like 1,542,450 tCO2e is prioritized over a rounded figure like 1,500,000 tCO2e, reflecting our dedication to precision and detail.
Unbiased Data Integrity
Our approach is grounded in delivering emissions data exactly as reported by companies, without making inferences or estimates for undisclosed data. This strict adherence to factual reporting ensures the integrity of the data you receive, providing an unaltered and accurate view of corporate emissions.
End-to-End Data Traceability
Every emissions data point is directly traceable to its original source, with exact page references and calculation methodologies documented. This level of detail enables immediate verification of emission figures and supports compliance with regulatory reporting requirements.
Full-Scope Boundary Verification
We tag emission figures that do not cover a company's entire organizational or operational boundaries with an 'Incomplete Boundaries' attribute. This attribute enhances transparency and ensures the comparability of our data by keeping you informed of any potential limitations.
