Ask the questions that matter
Selecting a carbon management platform is a big decision. This checklist provides a clear framework of questions to help you compare vendors across key areas.

This checklist covers topics like: methodology and standards, inventory management and reporting, consulting and advisory services, cost and transparency, integrations, user access and permissions, implementation support, and more.

Consider overlooked factors
Not every organization knows what to ask when choosing software. This checklist highlights overlooked but essential factors, like integration capabilities, cost transparency, and long-term adaptability. It ensures you don’t just compare what’s obvious, but also the details that could make or break your investment.

Choose the right partner with confidence
By using this tool, your team can identify which criteria matter most for your unique needs. Whether you focus on a few key areas or walk through the full set of questions, the result is the same: a confident, informed decision about the vendor that will best support your sustainability goals.
