Core Features
forward earth applies AI automation and structured data ingestion to carbon accounting, seeking to reduce repetitive data handling and improve time-to-insight. The platform integrates with existing systems rather than replacing them, and includes modules for corporate footprints, product footprints and CBAM workflows that adhere to recognised standards. Some of its main features are:
AI-Automated Corporate Footprinting – Generates corporate GHG footprints using AI to reduce manual data work, certified to the GHG Protocol.
Product Carbon Footprint Module – Supports large-scale product footprinting by ingesting ERP, bills of materials, logistics and other data sources.
CBAM Reporting Workflows – Structured import and calculation processes aligned with Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism requirements.
White-Label Integrations – Enables GRC, ESG and supply-chain software partners to integrate carbon management into their platforms.
Embedded Compliance Focus – Built-in compliance with CSRD and related regulations in its calculation methodologies.
Supply-Chain Emissions Insights – Designed to automate supplier data collection to support wider Scope 3 coverage and supply-chain decarbonisation planning.
Closing Insights
forward earth was established with the goal of automating and embedding carbon measurement into existing business processes rather than adding yet another standalone tool. Its founders and leadership bring experience in environmental management software and enterprise systems, and the company’s direction reflects a desire to combine regulatory compliance with AI-assisted calculation methods that reduce manual workload for organisations. The platform’s modules for corporate footprints, product footprints and Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) workflows reflect this blend of regulatory readiness and process automation. In 2024, the platform received €4.5 Million in seed funding to further its global expansion including into the United States market.
The software is positioned both as a direct solution for organisations seeking to measure emissions and prepare for reporting, and as a partner-friendly layer that can be white-labeled into other platforms such as governance, risk and compliance (GRC), ESG and supply-chain management systems. This dual approach allows forward earth to reach users through embedded integrations and direct licences, which may suit companies looking to centralise environmental data collection with minimal disruption to existing workflows. The platform offers a free entry-level corporate footprint option, and pricing scales with advanced modules.
