Carbon footprint software to collect, calculate and report your emissions

Stop spending months on your carbon footprint. Carbon Track is carbon accounting software that collects your site and supplier data, calculates emissions in line with the GHG Protocol and reports them with a full audit trail.

    Carbon numbers you can explain

    Carbon Track is Peterson’s carbon footprint and carbon accounting software, part of Solutions Hub. It helps companies track emissions data from their sites and suppliers, calculate their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with a standard method and report them to stakeholders, certification schemes and regulators. It is built by carbon experts, not just software engineers.

    • Scope 1, 2 and selected Scope 3 categories, calculated with one consistent method across sites, countries and years, in line with the GHG Protocol
    • Every result explained: a full calculation trail shows how each figure was reached, from activity data and emission factor to the final result
    • Validated, not just entered: data goes from draft to submitted to validated, and every change is recorded (who changed what, and when)

    Your carbon data shouldn’t live in spreadsheets

    Customers, regulations and certification schemes such as GOTS now ask for emissions data. Most companies still build it by hand, once a year.

    Carbon Track gives your carbon data a structure, so reporting becomes a repeatable process, not a yearly scramble.

    • Spreadsheets everywhere. Fuel, electricity and transport data arrive by email in different files, units and formats, and someone has to stitch them together every reporting cycle.
    • Numbers nobody can explain. When every consultant or site uses its own formulas, results change from year to year and nobody can show how a figure was calculated.
    • Requests keep growing. CSRD, the GHG Protocol and certification schemes are raising the bar. A figure without a trail behind it doesn’t hold up in a review.

    Carbon accounting software built for the reports you actually have to deliver

    1. Corporate carbon footprint and CSRD preparation

    Build your GHG inventory (Scope 1, 2 and selected Scope 3 categories) on a structure you can repeat every year, and prepare the data your sustainability reporting needs.

    1. Data collected by site, business unit and period
    2. Calculations aligned with the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064
    3. Multi-year comparisons from the same structure
    4. Outputs by scope, site, supplier and period

    A carbon footprint you can repeat and defend.

    2. Certifications that ask for emissions

    Certification schemes such as GOTS now require companies to report their greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon Track gives you the structure to track them across countries and supply chains.

    1. Scope 1, 2 and selected Scope 3 tracking for certification requirements
    2. Data and calculations ready to show in a review
    3. A full history of every figure

    Emissions data ready when your certification asks for it.

    3. Emissions data from your suppliers

    Collect activity data from your suppliers through structured forms instead of email and spreadsheets.

    1. Required fields and formats, so answers arrive complete
    2. Clear responsibilities: who submits, who validates
    3. Supplier data calculated with the same method as your own

    Better supplier data, with less chasing.

    How Carbon Track calculates your carbon footprint

    Step 1

    Set up your structure

    Define your sites, business units and suppliers, the periods you report on and the activities to track.

    Step 2

    Collect activity data

    Sites and suppliers enter their data (fuel, electricity, transport and more) through structured forms. Our consultants can prefill or correct fields from your documents.

    Step 3

    Calculate

    Emissions are calculated as activity data × emission factor, with factors chosen by activity type, geography and period, and versioned over time. Units are converted automatically.

    Step 4

    Validate

    Each entry moves from draft to submitted to validated, or goes back with comments. Every change is recorded for your audit trail.

    Carbon Track at work

    60% less time on carbon reporting

    A multinational with fragmented data needed a more efficient way to report its Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. Reporting time fell by 60%, and the better visibility helped the company cut its emissions by 15% within a year.

    Emissions tracking for GOTS certification

    GOTS now requires companies to report greenhouse gas emissions, leaving them asking where to begin and what format to use. Scope 1, 2 and 3 tracking for GOTS was simplified with Carbon Track.

    Preparing a global group for CSRD

    A group with operations in 80+ countries centralised its carbon data in Carbon Track, aligned its calculations with the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064, and adopted ESRS voluntarily for its 2024 reporting.

    Carbon footprint software: frequently asked questions

    Carbon Track is Peterson’s carbon footprint and carbon accounting software, part of Solutions Hub. It helps companies track emissions data from their operations and suppliers, calculate their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with a standard method and report them to stakeholders, certification schemes and regulators.

    Scope 1 (direct fuel combustion), Scope 2 (purchased electricity, location-based or market-based) and selected Scope 3 categories, such as transport.

    Yes. Emissions are calculated in line with the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064, as activity data × emission factor, with one consistent method across sites, countries and years.

    No. It is carbon accounting software with people behind it: its value comes from combining the software with Peterson’s carbon experts, and with the rest of Solutions Hub.

    Factors are selected by activity type, geography and period, and are managed and updated by Peterson’s team. Past results keep the factor version they were calculated with.

    You can use Carbon Track on your own. Many companies also work with our consultants to design their data structure, check the methodology and interpret the results.

    It collects emissions data in a standard structure, calculates it with recognised methods, keeps a full audit trail and lets you compare years for your baseline.

    Yes. Entries can be reopened and corrected. Totals are recalculated automatically and the history of every change is kept.

    Excel and PDF, with results by scope, site, supplier and period.

    Yes. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access is controlled by role.

    It depends on the number of sites and suppliers, the scopes you need and the level of support you choose. Book a demo and we’ll give you a quote.
