Introduction
For small and medium enterprises (SMEs), carbon accounting often feels like navigating a maze. With limited resources and complex supply chains, tracking emissions—especially Scope 3—can be overwhelming. But what if software could automate 80% of the work? In this blog, we break down how Carbon Accounting Software empowers SMEs to tackle Scope 3 emissions and unlock sustainable growth.
What Are Scope 3 Emissions (and Why Should SMEs Care?)
Scope 3 emissions cover indirect activities like purchased goods, business travel, and waste disposal. For most SMEs, these account for over 70% of their carbon footprint. Yet, manually tracking these emissions is nearly impossible without the right tools. Non-compliance risks reputational damage, while proactive reporting attracts eco-conscious clients and investors.

Key Features for SMEs
