Carbo
Ready-to-use carbon accounting tool for French SMEs, compliant with the ADEME Bilan Carbone method, from €90/month
Overview
Carbo is the French solution designed for SMEs beginning carbon accounting: it guides step-by-step GHG inventory calculation (scopes 1, 2, 3) using the Bilan Carbone method of ADEME, the French environment agency, and automatically generates a personalized reduction action plan. The lifecycle assessment (LCA) module also evaluates carbon footprint of specific products. Carbo AI analyzes data and flags the highest-emission areas. The platform serves 1,800+ companies and 200,000+ active users.
Pricing starts at €90/month for simple structures and reaches approximately €160/month for advanced features (IT integrations, automated projections, enhanced expert support). A 15-day free trial is available. Limitations: no public API, limited connectors compared to enterprise solutions, and EU CSRD coverage less exhaustive than Greenly or Sweep for large companies.
Our verdict
Best for French SMEs and micro-enterprises that need a first carbon inventory compliant with the ADEME method at controlled cost, with guidance delivered in French and a simple interface. Not ideal if you are a mid-size or large group with complex EU CSRD obligations and multi-entity reporting: the tool will quickly hit its limits.
