Frequently asked questions
What's the best AI for calculating a company's carbon footprint?

Do these tools cover scope 3 (indirect emissions)?
Yes, Greenly, Plan A, and Persefoni include scope 3 calculation, the most complex as it depends on suppliers and value chain, using emission databases and AI to estimate missing items.
