FAQs

Sage Earth Carbon Accounting is designed for small and medium businesses (SME). Enterprises embed or refer Sage Earth so their small business customers or suppliers can calculate and share credible carbon data for Scope 3 reporting. Sage Earth is not designed to calculate a full enterprise‑level corporate footprint.

Two things set Sage Earth apart: cost and confidence.

Affordable at scale: Enterprise teams get SME‑friendly pricing, hundreds per supplier, not thousands.

Trusted by small business: With over 40 years behind us, Sage is a name your suppliers already know, making onboarding smoother and adoption faster.

Traditional sustainability consultancies charge tens of thousands per supplier for bespoke carbon analysis. Sage Earth gives you a scalable, affordable alternative, hundreds per supplier, using primary accounting‑system data for improved accuracy you can rely on.

When consulting services are cheaper, they often rely on secondary data or industry averages, not the transaction‑level detail needed for credible Scope 3 reporting.

Yes. Most enterprises begin with a 10–12 week pilot to prove value before scaling. You’ll onboard a defined supplier or customer group, validate data quality, and see report‑ready outputs fast. Book a 30‑minute chat to scope your pilot and get a tailored proposal.

Sage Ai is the intelligence engine that powers all Sage accounting software.

It helps you measure and track your carbon footprint by connecting directly to your accounting data. Sage Ai automatically categorises your financial transactions and translates them into carbon emissions data, so you can understand your environmental impact without manual calculations or specialist expertise.

With Sage Ai and Sage Earth Carbon Accounting, you can:

  • Automatically calculate your carbon footprint using your existing accounting data, saving hours of manual work.
  • See your emissions clearly, with insights that highlight where most of your impact comes from, helping you focus on the areas that matter most.
  • Track progress over time, so you can monitor changes, report with confidence, and support sustainability goals or tender requirements.
  • Rely on credible calculations, using a carbon calculation engine maintained by Sage’s in‑house climate experts and aligned to recognised standards.

Because Sage Ai is built into our all Sage accounting solutions, carbon tracking becomes part of running your business, not a separate system or spreadsheet. That means less admin, clearer insights, and more confidence in the data you share with customers, partners, and stakeholders.
