01
Calculate emissions
Gather activity — energy, travel, purchasing, operations — and apply published emission factors. The figure stays attached to the sources that produced it.
Carbon accounting
Carbon, accounted for.
Vert offers carbon accounting solutions for individuals and organizations to calculate their greenhouse gas emissions, produce reports, and find solutions to reduce carbon.
01 — The account
Three movements, one ledger.
02
Produce a report
Totals, categories, and, for organizations, scopes. A report written to be read by you, a colleague, or a board.
03
Reduce carbon
A short list of changes, ordered by estimated effect. Less carbon, with the reason written beside the suggestion.
02 — Who it is for
A person, or an organization.
For individuals
A personal inventory of greenhouse gas emissions, and a report you can keep from one year to the next.
Carbon accounting for individuals
For organizations
An operational account across sites and teams, consistent from one reporting period to the next.
Carbon accounting for organizations
03 — The report
Written to be read, not merely filed.
- 01Total greenhouse gas emissions for the period
- 02A breakdown by category
- 03The factors and sources behind the numbers
- 04Reductions worth making first
A figure without its factors is not an account.
04 — Questions
Before you begin.
What is carbon accounting?
Carbon accounting is a structured way to calculate greenhouse gas emissions from activity — energy used, distance traveled, goods purchased, operations run — so the result can be reported and reduced.
Who is Vert for?
Vert is for individuals who want a serious personal account, and for organizations that need an operational one. The standard is the same. The boundary changes.
What emissions can I calculate?
Energy, travel, commuting, purchasing, and waste. Organizations can also arrange activity as scope 1, scope 2, and the parts of scope 3 that are material and can be evidenced.
Do you produce reports?
Yes. An account produces a report: the period and boundary, total emissions, a breakdown by category, the emission factors behind the figures, and a list of reductions to consider first.
How do reduction solutions work?
Vert ranks practical changes by their estimated effect on your inventory. Each suggestion stays tied to a category in the account, so you can see why it is there.
Is Vert an offset marketplace?
No. The work is calculation, reporting, and reduction. The aim is to emit less, with the method written beside the number.
