By inputting detailed business data into Sage Earth Carbon Accounting (SECA), small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) can significantly progress toward compliance with key sustainability reporting frameworks:
Procurement Policy Note (PPN) 06/21 – Covers mandatory carbon reporting for government contract bidders. SECA aligns with PPN requirements by capturing Scope 1, 2, and partial Scope 3 emissions.
Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) – Requires companies to disclose sustainability impacts, including carbon emissions. Based on a review of CSRD reporting guidelines, SECA’s structured data input system provides an estimated 60–80% of the necessary emissions data for compliance. This range reflects how well automated accounting sync and manual data input cover emission categories required for CSRD alignment.
Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) – Provides emissions tracking for financial institutions. SECA supports PCAF reporting by assigning PCAF scores to data quality and accuracy.
Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) – Helps businesses track progress toward net-zero goals. SECA enables businesses to measure and set reduction targets for their emissions footprint.
ISO 14064 – Standardizes GHG accounting and verification. SECA’s methodology follows ISO principles, ensuring credible and standardized emissions reporting.
