The Role of Consultants and Software in Corporate Carbon Accounting
As climate disclosures become mandatory and auditable, carbon accounting is rapidly increasing in complexity - particularly around scope 3, transparency and data assurance. While the market is crowded with GHG tools, most fall short of what companies actually need: rigor, auditability and expert judgement. Mid-sized organisations in particular lack in-house expertise, update their footprint infrequently and face growing liability risks, making consultant-led carbon accounting essential. Software plays a critical enabling role, but only when it supports - rather than replaces - expert decision-making.
At Reset Connect North, Carbon+Alt+Delete will outline how purpose-built carbon accounting software enables consultants to deliver defensible, standards-compliant results at scale. This year, Beyondly will complement this with real-world customer insights, sharing lessons from selecting and deploying carbon accounting software in practice - including what truly drives value for clients. The key takeaway is clear: the future of sustainability reporting is digital, continuous and auditable and real impact only happens when expert consultants and the right technology work together.
