Alectro

Core Features

Alectro treats decarbonisation as a blend of data infrastructure and human support, presented as a Virtual Sustainability Officer® rather than a purely self-service dashboard. Its approach is built around a repeatable Measure–Monitor–Report–Engage cycle, combining GHG Protocol-based calculations, process automation and advisory input so that emissions management can sit alongside day-to-day business operations. Within this structure, some of its main capabilities are:

• Standards-based, full-scope accounting – Measures full Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions using methodologies built on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, with automated monthly modelling and tools for setting science-aligned net-zero targets.

• Integrations and data automation – Connects via APIs to ERP, expense and supply-chain tools such as Xero, Sage, SAP and Microsoft Dynamics, alongside CSV imports, to reduce manual data entry and create repeatable assessments.

• Real-time monitoring and hotspot detection – Provides real-time dashboards, task management and supply-chain monitoring that update as new business data flows in, helping teams identify emission spikes and prioritise hotspots.

• Reporting and compliance outputs – Generates one-click, audit-ready reports aligned with major frameworks, with an activity log and exportable, structured data for assurance or external audits.

• Engagement tools and Climate Clarity Badges – Offers a public impact page, employee engagement features and Climate Clarity Badges that summarise progress across categories such as Measure, Reduce and Supply Chain, designed to communicate climate action and reduce greenwashing risk.

• Embedded advisory and communications support – Includes onboarding, continuous data-upload support, expert data review, ongoing decarbonisation guidance and optional climate talks, and marketing support.

Closing Insights

Alectro emerged in 2019 when co-founders Tim Geller and Bertie Ivory-Peters set out to give companies practical tools for measuring emissions and preparing for the commercial impacts of climate change. The platform now acts as a virtual sustainability officer for SMEs and service-led organisations that need full-scope data and clear pathways without building large internal teams.

Clients such as Atom Bank, Big Group and Moneybox illustrate how Alectro adapts across financial services, marketing and fintech. Logos and case studies show it being used to streamline data collection, support tender responses and engage staff around emissions reductions, often combining dashboards, Climate Clarity Badges and expert sessions to connect carbon data with procurement, investors and employees.

Looking ahead, Alectro is expanding features such as AI-supported supply-chain monitoring and Climate Clarity scoring, and has signalled future ESG modules and custom emission factor databases. Combined with a single-plan, quote-based licence that includes integrations to systems like Xero, Sage and SAP, the offer is positioned for organisations seeking a mix of automation and advisory support.
