Decarbonization is great. Contribution is bigger.

Leverage the Climate Contribution Framework: a new and complementary way to measure corporate climate action.

Cutting your own emissions matters. But it’s not the whole story. Global net-zero only happens if companies also scale low-carbon solutions and put capital behind climate action beyond their value chain.

The Climate Contribution Framework brings those three threads – emission reductions, climate solutions, and climate financing – into a single view of corporate climate action. Helping you demonstrate how your business is contributing to the wider transition.

  • Reduce: Decarbonize your operations and value chain across Scope 1, 2, and 3 through transition planning and low-carbon investment choices.
  • Scale: Build and deploy the low-carbon products, services, and technologies the wider transition depends on, from renewables to circular innovation.
  • Finance: Direct capital toward climate projects, low-carbon technologies, and carbon credits that cut or remove emissions beyond your value chain.

Decarbonization

“To improve our carbon footprint, we have to transition to low-carbon products. As an industrial company, it means changing our entire life cycle. Sweep enables us to track our entire supply chain across the life cycle stages of all our products.”

François Regnier
Chief Financial Officer

“The major added value of Sweep was the automation of our calculation rules for modeling our value chain and removing as much as possible the copy-paste errors from dozens of Excel files and hundreds of millions of lines of data.”

Fanny Fleuriot
Senior Lead Carbon Manager

“This has saved us an impressive amount of time. We’ve gone from having to calculate our annual carbon footprint in six months to being able to calculate it in a week.”

Benjamin Maito
Head of Impact

Decarbonization strategy FAQ

What is decarbonization software?

Decarbonization software enables businesses to measure their carbon footprint, plan emissions reductions, and track progress toward net zero targets. Unlike standalone carbon accounting tools, dedicated decarbonization strategy software like Sweep combines automated data ingestion, AI-powered insights, scenario modeling, and sustainability reporting in a single platform.

This gives sustainability teams the data-driven decision-making capabilities they need to move beyond measurement and deliver real, auditable emissions reductions aligned with science-based targets.

How does Sweep help identify where to reduce carbon emissions?

Sweep automatically identifies emissions hotspots across Scope 1, 2, and 3, giving sustainability teams an at-a-glance view of the highest-impact areas within their operations and supply chain. Built-in scenario modeling then allows teams to simulate the carbon and financial impact of specific decarbonization initiatives before committing any resources.

This means every reduction planning decision is grounded in accurate emissions data, not assumptions, making your decarbonization strategy both credible and cost-effective.

How does Sweep handle Scope 3 and supply chain emissions?

Scope 3 emissions typically account for 70 to 90% of a company’s carbon footprint, making supply chain decarbonization one of the most important challenges in any net zero strategy. Sweep’s supplier portals enable direct collection of primary emissions data from suppliers, replacing unreliable industry averages with accurate, supplier-specific carbon data.

Built-in collaboration tools make it easy to engage suppliers on shared reduction targets, helping companies address their full value chain footprint and meet the Scope 3 requirements of frameworks like CSRD and SBTi.

What sustainability reporting frameworks does Sweep support?

Sweep generates audit-ready sustainability reports aligned with CSRD, CDP, SB 253, TCFD, GRI, ISSB, and the GHG Protocol. Built-in compliance templates, automated data validation, and clear footprint ledgers with full data lineage provide a traceable audit trail for third-party auditors.

As sustainability regulations evolve, Sweep’s structured approach to carbon management ensures organizations can adapt their reporting without extensive manual rework, reducing compliance risk and protecting against financial and reputational penalties.

How does Sweep support science-based target setting?

Setting credible science-based targets requires an accurate, verified baseline across all emission scopes. Sweep automates Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) calculations using recognized emission factors applied to real activity data, eliminating the guesswork from carbon accounting.

Scenario modeling tools then allow sustainability teams to compare decarbonization pathways, assess trade-offs between cost and impact, and build a reduction roadmap connected directly to their measured emissions data rather than generic benchmarks, which is a requirement for credible SBTi-aligned target setting.

Furthermore, Sweep supports both absolute and intensity targets, including the economic and physical intensity targets SBTi recognizes for scope 3 and sector-specific scope 1/2 pathways.

Can Sweep show the financial impact of decarbonization initiatives?

Yes. Sweep’s Financial and ROI Analysis capabilities link emissions reductions directly to costs, enabling teams to prioritize decarbonization initiatives using Marginal Abatement Cost (MAC) analysis. By modeling the financial impact of actions such as switching to renewable energy, changing suppliers, or reducing energy use, sustainability and finance teams can identify which investments deliver the greatest return.

This transforms decarbonization planning from a sustainability obligation into a source of measurable cost reduction and strategic advantage, a critical factor for financial institutions and investors assessing climate risks.

How does Sweep reduce manual work in carbon management?

Sweep automates data ingestion from ERP systems, utility providers, and financial records via APIs and AI, removing the manual data collection processes that create errors and slow down sustainability teams. Calculation rules are applied automatically and documented with full data lineage, eliminating copy-paste errors from spreadsheet-based carbon management.

Real-time monitoring dashboards provide live updates on emissions tracking rather than a yearly snapshot, while task management tools enable efficient collaboration across teams and geographies.

How does Sweep ensure emissions data quality and audit readiness?

Sweep’s carbon management platform includes built-in quality control at every stage of the data pipeline. Automated data validation flags inconsistencies before they affect calculations, full data lineage provides transparency on how every figure was derived, and clear footprint ledgers create a complete, traceable record for third-party auditors.

This audit-ready approach gives organizations the confidence to report accurate emissions data to investors, regulators, and other stakeholders, and to defend that data under scrutiny from frameworks including CSRD, TCFD, and the GHG Protocol.
