StepChange provides a unified, cloud‑based platform that consolidates carbon accounting, ESG intelligence, and climate‑risk analytics into a single workflow. It ingests data from multiple sources, applies science‑based methodologies (GHG Protocol, PCAF, TCFD, ISSB) and automates validation, reporting and target monitoring for both operational and financed emissions. The solution delivers heat‑maps, scenario analysis, and audit‑ready disclosures, helping large enterprises and financial institutions meet regulatory, investor and sustainability requirements.

Problem
Organizations across industries struggle to collect, validate, and report comprehensive carbon, ESG, and climate risk data due to fragmented data sources, complex standards, and the need for specialized methodologies such as PCAF and GRI. This leads to high manual effort, inconsistent disclosures, and difficulty meeting regulatory and investor expectations.
Solution
StepChange offers a unified, cloud‑based platform that consolidates carbon accounting, ESG intelligence, and climate‑risk analytics into a single workflow. The system ingests data from multiple channels—including bulk uploads, OCR, ERP integrations, and vendor surveys—and applies science‑based methods aligned with standards like the GHG Protocol, PCAF, TCFD, and ISSB. Automated data quality checks, anomaly detection, and AI‑assisted reporting ensure accuracy and reduce manual effort. Users can set and monitor targets using frameworks such as SBTi, NZBA, and GFANZ, while advanced analytics provide heat‑maps, scenario analysis, and risk metrics for both operational and financed emissions. The platform also supports end‑to‑end disclosure generation with customizable templates and export options (Word, XBRL, PDF), enabling audit‑ready reporting and seamless integration with enterprise systems.
