Climatise Carbon Reporting Software Review

Yes, Climatise was built from the ground up for UK regulatory requirements rather than being retrofitted from a generic global ESG platform.

The platform natively supports SECR statutory format, integrates current UK Government DESNZ conversion factors, and includes transition pathways for UK SRS S2 climate reportingahead of the FCA's proposed application of UK SRS S2 from January 2027 — a rule the FCA has consulted on but not yet finalised.

This UK-first approach means the platform understands Companies House filing requirements, FCA oversight frameworks, and the specific methodology requirements under UK regulatory guidance, providing significant advantages over international platforms that require manual adaptation for UK compliance.

Climatise covers all 15 GHG Protocol Scope 3 Standard categories with both spend-based estimation and activity-based measurement capabilities.

The platform provides supplier engagement tools for UK SRS Scope 3 reporting, which the FCA proposes to keep on a comply-or-explain basis even once the other UK SRS S2 transition reliefs end.

Key capabilities include value chain mapping, supplier data collection workflows, and progression tracking from initial estimates to verified supplier data.

This dual approach ensures companies can establish baselines quickly while building toward the enhanced accuracy requirements expected under UK SRS implementation.

Climatise operates on enterprise pricing with quotes based on company size and complexity — there is no published price list.

Pricing scales for mid-market UK companies through to large enterprises depending on scope and integration requirements; contact Climatise directly for a current quote.

The UK regulatory alignment can reduce the consultancy work otherwise needed to adapt a generic platform to UK requirements.

The platform's audit-ready output also reduces third-party assurance effort by providing comprehensive methodology documentation.

Third-party assurance of UK SRS disclosures is not currently mandatory — the FCA's CP26/5 proposalwould only require listed companies to state whether they obtained assurance and, if so, the provider's name, what was assured and to what level, which standard was used, and where the report can be found.

Climatise is designed to produce documentation suited to that disclosure, and to a voluntary assurance engagement should a company choose one.

The platform maintains full audit trails for all calculations, data sources, and methodology decisions that a third-party assurance engagement would require.

Where a company does commission assurance, it may be carried out to ISSA (UK) 5000, the FRC's standard issued 12 November 2025 for voluntary use by UK assurance providers.

Typical implementation for UK companies takes 6-8 weeks from contract signing to first SECR-compliant report.

This includes data collection setup, integration with existing systems, team training, and baseline year calculation.

The UK-native design significantly reduces configuration time compared to global platforms.

For companies preparing for the FCA's proposed UK SRS implementation timeline, Climatise can establish robust carbon reporting foundations quickly, then extend to enhanced climate risk disclosure as regulatory requirements evolve.

This phased approach ensures compliance readiness without over-engineering initial implementation.
