Carbon accounting for growing companies
Turn scattered business data into a credible carbon footprint.
OCEANS™ Sustainability helps growing companies collect sustainability data, calculate Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, and prepare stakeholder-ready information — without the cost and complexity of traditional enterprise platforms.
Built for lean sustainability, finance, and operations teams.
Built for lean sustainability, finance, and operations teams at growing US companies — not enterprise ESG departments.
The problem
The data already exists. It's just scattered everywhere.
Utility bills, fuel receipts, procurement records, travel bookings, supplier files, and a half-dozen spreadsheets — most growing companies already have what a carbon inventory needs. What's missing is a structured, repeatable process to turn it into a number anyone can stand behind.
Where the data lives today
How it works
From scattered records to a number you can explain.
01 · Collect
Collect
Bring utility, fuel, travel, procurement, waste, and supplier data into one structured workspace — with clear ownership and visible gaps, not another spreadsheet.
02 · Calculate
Calculate
Business activity becomes Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions through documented emission factors and assumptions you can see, not a black box.
03 · Communicate
Communicate
Turn the inventory into dashboards and stakeholder-ready exports you can reuse for management, customer requests, investors, and questionnaires.

Scope 1 · CompleteWhat you get
A credible baseline, and a process you can repeat.
Structured source of truth
One place for activity data, replacing scattered spreadsheets and email threads.
Traceable calculations
Every figure connects back to its source data and the emission factor behind it.
Faster, repeatable reporting
Build the inventory once, then update and reuse it each reporting cycle.
Actionable emissions insight
See where emissions concentrate, so reduction efforts go where they matter most.
Guided implementation
Support for boundaries, assumptions, and gaps — not a login and a blank dashboard.
Is this you?
Carbon accounting designed for growing companies.
Customers or investors are starting to ask for emissions information.
Your data is spread across spreadsheets, invoices, and different departments.
You're building your first Scope 1, 2, and 3 inventory.
Your current process is difficult to repeat consistently each year.
Consultants or enterprise platforms feel too expensive or too heavy for your team.
You need better visibility into your own operations and supplier footprint.
Where OCEANS™ fits
Built for the space between spreadsheets and enterprise software.
Spreadsheets
Accessible to start, but manual, fragmented across owners, and hard to govern or repeat consistently each cycle.
OCEANS™ Sustainability
Focused workflows, transparent calculations, direct guidance, and a practical scope built for a growing company — not a large ESG department.
Enterprise platforms
Powerful, but often expensive, implementation-heavy, and designed around large internal sustainability teams.
Enterprise-grade discipline. Mid-market practicality.
Guided, not self-serve
Software alone does not solve a sustainability data problem.
You can start with imperfect data. OCEANS™ Sustainability provides practical help getting from "we're not sure where to start" to a defensible first inventory.

Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Do I need a dedicated sustainability team to use OCEANS™ Sustainability?
No. OCEANS™ Sustainability is built for lean teams — often one or two people covering sustainability alongside finance or operations work — with guided support to fill the gaps.
What if our data is incomplete or spread across spreadsheets?
That's the normal starting point. OCEANS™ Sustainability is designed to work with the data you already have, flag what's missing or estimated, and help you improve it over time.
Which emission scopes does OCEANS™ Sustainability support?
Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 — with documented emission factors and visible assumptions behind each calculation.
How is this different from hiring a consultant?
A consultant engagement is usually a one-time project. OCEANS™ Sustainability gives you a repeatable, software-backed process, paired with guided support rather than a purely manual engagement.
How is this different from an enterprise ESG platform?
Enterprise platforms are built for large sustainability departments and often come with significant cost and implementation time. OCEANS™ Sustainability is scoped for growing companies that need a focused, faster path to a credible inventory.
