About
Plan A is an enterprise-grade carbon accounting and decarbonisation software platform built for businesses committed to achieving net-zero goals. Developed by in-house scientists and powered by AI, it provides a single platform to measure, report, and reduce corporate carbon emissions across all scopes — including complex Scope 3 supply chain emissions. The platform's three core pillars are carbon accounting (precision emissions measurement and analysis), carbon reporting (automated, stakeholder-ready disclosures aligned with CSRD, ESRS, CSDDD, EU Taxonomy, UK SDR, US SEC, and CBAM), and decarbonisation (science-based target setting and forecasting for emissions reduction). Plan A's AI-enhanced interface delivers measurable efficiency gains: 70% faster data management, 130+ days saved on carbon accounting annually, and 20x faster report generation. Ready-to-use, certified calculation methods developed and maintained by scientific experts remove the complexity from compliance. The platform is GHG Protocol compliant, TÜV Rheinland certified, and B Corp certified — ensuring methodological integrity and data security. Personalised expert guidance, custom API integrations, and access to a leading sustainability community make it a comprehensive solution for forward-thinking enterprises. Plan A is suited for mid-market to large companies across industries that need to future-proof their operations, reduce climate-related costs, and build stakeholder trust through transparent sustainability performance.
