Core Features

The Persefoni software offers carbon accounting solutions for two broad categories of users:

  • Persefoni for Business: delivers assurance-grade carbon measurement, analytics, and decarbonization tools tailored for companies managing their own direct and operational emissions (Scope 1–3). It enables compliance with regulatory frameworks like CSRD, SECR, SEC, and California climate mandates.

  • Persefoni for Financial Services: offers investor-grade carbon accounting designed specifically for financial institutions. It calculates financed emissions across portfolios, in line with Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) standards for financed‑emissions reporting. It provides specialized portfolio analytics and investor reporting capabilities beyond the core business version.
