Proposed demo: prepare a supplier-linked inventory
- Prepare activity and accounting records with supplier identifiers.
- Introduce an ambiguous supplier name and review the match.
- Reconcile the corrected attribution to an inventory result.
Greenly
Greenly combines activity and accounting inputs with supplier engagement. Evaluate the matching, assumptions and correction work behind each result; optional integrations and service scope need an explicit proposal.

Who is Greenly for?
Teams organising an initial or recurring carbon inventory and improving supplier attribution, including smaller teams needing scoped support. Greenly can generate an early spend-based estimate before complete activity data is available, so buyers should not treat the first result as an audit-ready inventory. Emission-source module choices become locked after confirmation, supplier surveys depend on entitlement, and GHG-to-ESG transfer requires a finalized assessment and mainly covers quantitative datapoints. Preset targets and modeled trajectories do not establish SBTi validation or achieved reductions.
Greenly may justify a quote when supplier attribution and a supported recurring inventory solve a defined data-collection problem. It is less suitable if optional interfaces and services exceed the budget or the required survey and reporting scope cannot be demonstrated.

Capabilities and scope
Greenly offers corporate carbon assessment, supplier engagement and separately scoped LCA and ESG offerings. These scopes are not an all-inclusive subscription. In September 2026, Normative announced a merger with Greenly.
| Capability | Evidence | Scope and source |
|---|---|---|
| Corporate GHG assessment and data-quality review | Documented by vendor | Greenly combines accounting transactions, non-monetary company data, employee questionnaires, supplier data and physical activity inputs across Scopes 1, 2 and 3. Early spend-based estimates are refined with activity data. Before report generation, users must complete data-quality checks; checks may be dismissed with justification. Selected emission-source modules cannot be changed after confirmation. Carbon assessmentGHG assessment setup, data collection and mandatory quality reviewCarbon-footprint data sources and estimation methods |
| Supplier attribution | Documented by vendor | Supplier identifiers must link to accounting and activity records; incomplete names can require manual correction. Supplier preparation and NZC survey condition |
| Supplier surveys | Depends on scope | The help article labels survey sending NZC only; reconcile entitlement with the proposal. Supplier preparation and NZC survey condition |
| Supplier evidence quality | Documented by vendor | The supplier page describes source traceability and confidence information. Test assumptions rather than accepting an assurance guarantee. Supplier product scope |
| Supplier document collection | Documented by vendor | The product page describes collection of corporate reports and product footprint or LCA documents; verify scope and coverage. Supplier product scope |
| Workiva data handoff | Depends on scope | Workiva documents a configured Chains recipe using Greenly credentials and an audit-export endpoint. It is not proof of a preconfigured universal integration. Workiva integration implementation |
| API and SSO additions | Depends on scope | Custom API and SSO integrations are listed as optional add-ons; confirm entitlement and implementation. Plans and optional additions |
| Reduction objectives and modeled trajectories | Depends on scope | Users can define global, scope-specific or sub-scope reduction objectives and compare them with a trajectory derived from selected actions. Preset 2030 targets reference IPCC pathways, but these are planning assumptions, not evidence of SBTi validation or achieved reductions. Reduction objectives and trajectory logicReduction-strategy support and modeled actions |
| Product life-cycle assessment | Depends on scope | The separately presented LCA offering supports product-level inventories and Product Carbon Footprints. Scope functional units, boundaries, allocation rules, databases, reviewer involvement and included products rather than treat output as independently certified. Product life-cycle assessment scopeProduct and LCA FAQ |
| GHG-to-ESG datapoint transfer | Depends on scope | A completed GHG assessment can feed carbon-footprint and energy values into an ESG data-collection campaign. The assessment must be finalized first and current transfer primarily covers quantitative datapoints; confirm separate ESG entitlement and manually assess unsupported qualitative disclosures. Transfer of finalized GHG results into ESG datapointsPlans and optional additions |
Also watch for: No public numeric subscription established. Survey entitlement needs plan confirmation.
Greenly pricing
Scoped vendor proposal
Pricing is not publicly available; request a quote. The pricing page lists GHG Report Compliance, Climate Action Ready and Net Zero Contributor, without numeric subscriptions, billing currency, term or minimum users. Custom API, SSO, additional entities and services appear as optional additions; confirm the full scope.
Pricing sources checked : Selected sources checked; no starting price recorded. All six selected official pages accessible. No numeric subscription or verified platform trial found; optional API/SSO and the NZC survey condition require quote confirmation.
Which product scope should the quote cover?
Corporate GHG assessment and supplier engagement form the core researched scope. Product LCA, ESG data collection, reduction-strategy consulting, API, SSO, additional entities and other services are separately presented or optional and must be itemised in the proposal.
Ask the vendor to identify the product, region, modules, billing unit, contract term and included services in writing.

What we could not verify
6 depend on scope · 4 notes
- Depends on plan or configuration: Supplier surveys; Workiva data handoff; API and SSO additions; Reduction objectives and modeled trajectories; Product life-cycle assessment; GHG-to-ESG datapoint transfer.
- The announcement does not establish that all products, subscriptions or customer migrations are already unified; confirm the contracting entity and available product scope.
- The Normative merger announcement does not prove that every product, contract or customer environment is already unified.
- The reviewed sources do not establish disconnected capture, calculation or review.
- Spreadsheet imports do not establish an offline application.
Demo script
Proposed demo: collect and challenge supplier evidence
- Confirm survey entitlement in the proposed account.
- Request a supplier record with a missing period or boundary.
- Review the assumption and source before replacing the estimate.
Proposed demo: hand carbon data to reporting
- Identify the required output and reporting destination.
- If Workiva is proposed, demonstrate configured credentials, connectors and the export mapping.
- Correct a source record and reconcile the revised output without losing the prior evidence.
Ask the vendor to show you
- Show an incorrect supplier match and how it is corrected.
- Confirm whether supplier surveys are included in the quoted plan.
- Itemise API, SSO, entity and professional-service additions.
- Export an inventory with original inputs and assumptions.
- Before confirming setup, show every recommended emission-source module and explain how an omitted or wrongly selected module would be corrected after selection becomes locked.
- Separate spend-based estimates from physical activity data, dismiss one quality warning with justification, and show how that decision remains traceable.
Questions the sources answer
Is Greenly only a carbon inventory product?
Its pricing page distinguishes GHG, LCA and ESG offers. Confirm the applications and services needed for your reporting requirement.
Does supplier matching eliminate manual work?
No such outcome is established. The help instructions warn that incomplete or inconsistent supplier names can require manual matching.
Can Greenly feed Workiva?
Workiva publishes an implementation recipe using Chains and Greenly account credentials. Confirm licensing, mapping and ownership before treating it as a working integration.
Is a free platform trial verified?
No. The reviewed route requests a demo; free calculators are not evidence of a platform trial.
Do security logos establish our required controls?
No. Request current assurance evidence and contractual scope; this review did not inspect underlying security reports. SSO is listed as an optional addition.
