Cority: emissions reporting inside an EHS platform
Cority describes itself as a “converged EHS+” platform — environmental, health, safety, quality and sustainability — with a Sustainability Cloud that tracks emissions and produces ESG reports.
This profile uses only Cority’s own pages, read on 1 October 2026, and one fact from Verdantix’s own release, and sets each claim beside the UK rule it touches.
It gives no rating; the planner and checklists below turn Cority’s claims into outputs to see on your own data.
What it says it is
Cority, as Cority describes it
Cority’s starting point is not carbon: its homepage leads with environmental, health and safety software — compliance and audits, incident reporting, occupational health, industrial hygiene and risk management.
The Sustainability Cloud adds carbon management, sustainability reporting, supply-chain data and advisory services to that platform.
Its pitch is that emissions and ESG data sit in the same system as the operational data that produces them, under one set of permissions and audit trails.
It describes AI-assisted data capture, which it calls Cortex AI, with a person reviewing each step.
Verdantix’s own press release names Cority among the eight Leaders of its 2026 Green Quadrant for enterprise carbon management software, from 21 vendors evaluated, alongside IBM and Sweep; the evaluation is global and scores no UK regime.
| Sustainability Cloud area | What Cority’s page lists |
|---|---|
| Carbon management | “Gather, calculate, and track Scope 1–3 GHG emissions using built-in emission factors”; audit-ready reports |
| Sustainability reporting | Automated reporting “for disclosures like GRI, CDP, SASB, and CSRD”; 40+ frameworks including CDP, GRI, TCFD, SASB, ISSB |
| Sustainable supply chain | Supplier data collection, engagement and supply-chain risk monitoring |
| Data capture | Cortex AI to acquire and consolidate data, “keeping human oversight at every step” |
| ESG advisory services | Advisory support offered alongside the software |
Who stands behind it
Thoma Bravo, then Greenstone
Two corporate events shape what Cority sells today, and both are stated on Cority’s own site.
Its release of 2 July 2019 says the private equity firm Thoma Bravo became its majority investor; that is the most recent ownership notice found on the site, not the result of an exhaustive search.
Its Greenstone page says that on 4 May 2023 it announced the acquisition of Greenstone, a UK-headquartered company with software for corporate sustainability, supply chains and investors, founded in 2006.
Cority says Greenstone’s capabilities now sit in the Sustainability Cloud, which is why a company that once bought Greenstone software now meets Cority.

From obligations to capabilities
Start from what you owe, not from the feature list
The search that most often reaches this page asks whether Cority covers emissions management for corporate ESG compliance and regulatory reporting.
The honest answer starts with the reader’s obligations, because “regulatory reporting” means different outputs under each UK regime.
The planner beside this asks six questions about your obligations — SECR, ESOS, the listing rules, voluntary UK SRS, PPN 006 and the EU — and returns the capabilities a platform must show, each tied to its provision.
It names no product; take its list to Cority, and to any vendor you are comparing.
Every vendor’s claims, regime by regime, are side by side on ESG software comparison.
Obligations in, capabilities out
A requirements list, not a recommendation: it names no product. Each line is tied to the provision that creates it.
Nothing is stored or sent.
SECR and ESOS
Two UK energy regimes — not named on its pages
Neither SECR nor ESOS was named on the Cority pages read for this profile, though a platform holding site-level environmental data holds much of what both need.
SECR is a section of the directors’ report: a quoted company reports global emissions and energy with the UK share under Part 7 of Schedule 7, and a large unquoted company reports UK energy and emissions under paragraph 20D.
Both add at least one intensity ratio, the methodology, the efficiency narrative and last year’s figures, and the government’s SECR guidance expects the UK conversion factors for the activity year.
Cority’s page speaks of “built-in emission factors”; for the UK lines, ask which DESNZ set and year applies.
ESOS is an energy audit run by the Environment Agency: an undertaking with at least 250 employees, or with turnover above £44 million and a balance sheet above £38 million, on 31 December 2026 qualifies for Phase 4, and the notification is due by 5 December 2027.
ESOS needs total energy in kWh by site and purpose, which is a different output from an emissions report; the scheme as a whole is set out in the ESOS Phase 4 overview, and SECR on SECR requirements.
UK SRS, ISSB and the CSRD
Forty frameworks — and the UK one to ask for by name
Cority lists ISSB and TCFD among its frameworks; UK SRS was not named on the pages read.
UK SRS S1 and S2 were published by the Department for Business and Trade on 25 February 2026 as UK versions of the ISSB standards, for voluntary use.
Under the FCA’s PS26/19, listed companies in UKLR 6, 14, 15, 16 and 22 report against them on a comply-or-explain basis for periods from 1 January 2027, which replaced the CP26/5 proposal of mandatory S2.
UK SRS S2 measures to the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and asks which of the Scope 3 categories are included, with location-based Scope 2 and a split between the consolidated group and other investees.
Cority also names the CSRD, whose scope Directive (EU) 2026/470 narrowed in 2026 and whose assurance is limited assurance only.
And it names CDP, a voluntary system whose score has no regulatory status in the UK.
The UK standards are set out on UK SRS S1 and S2.

- ESOS: no claim found on the pages we read
Vendor pages read 30 September–1 October 2026; re-read 11 October 2026.
A missing claim is a question to ask, not evidence of a missing feature.

Pricing
Price: Enterprise level · TBD
Cority publishes no price on the pages read; its pages lead to a conversation with its team.
This site does not estimate one, so the entry reads Enterprise level · TBD.
Because the Sustainability Cloud sits on an EHS platform, ask whether it can be bought on its own or only with the wider suite, and whether advisory services are priced separately.
Demo questions
Six questions to put to Cority
Each question tests one of Cority’s claims against the UK provision it touches, with a pass test.
The fourth is the one an EHS-first platform should answer best: whether the sites in the safety record and the sites in the emissions boundary are one list.
Every vendor’s claims are compared on carbon reporting software.

Frequently asked
Cority, answered from its own pages
Does Cority offer environmental sustainability and emissions management for corporate ESG compliance and regulatory reporting?
By its own account, yes.
Cority’s Sustainability Cloud says it gathers, calculates and tracks Scope 1 to 3 emissions using built-in emission factors, automates reporting for disclosures “like GRI, CDP, SASB, and CSRD”, and covers more than 40 frameworks including CDP, GRI, TCFD, SASB and ISSB.
Nobody here has tested it; for UK regulatory reporting, ask to see SECR, ESOS and UK SRS outputs by name, as none was named on the pages read.
What is CorityOne?
CorityOne is Cority’s name for its platform, which its homepage calls a “converged EHS+ software platform” spanning employee health, safety, quality, environmental and sustainability.
Carbon and ESG reporting sit in the same system as incident reporting, occupational health and compliance audits.
What size of company uses Cority?
Cority presents its sustainability software as “enterprise ESG software … built for enterprise complexity”, for global organisations with configurable workflows.
It does not publish a size threshold, and nothing in UK law ties a regime to the software a company uses.
Is Cority ESOS compliance management software for UK enterprises?
ESOS was not named on the Cority pages read for this profile.
ESOS Phase 4 applies to undertakings with at least 250 employees, or turnover above £44 million and a balance sheet above £38 million, on 31 December 2026, and needs total energy in kWh, energy audits, a lead assessor’s review and a notification by 5 December 2027.
Ask to see that energy output.
Did Cority acquire Greenstone?
Yes.
Cority’s own page says it announced the acquisition of Greenstone, a UK-headquartered sustainability software company founded in 2006, on 4 May 2023, and that Greenstone’s capabilities now sit in the Sustainability Cloud.
Who owns Cority?
Cority announced on 2 July 2019 that Thoma Bravo had become its majority investor, with its previous majority investor, Norwest Venture Partners, keeping a significant stake.
That is the most recent ownership notice found on Cority’s site; it is not an exhaustive search.
Is Cority a Verdantix Leader?
Yes.
Verdantix’s own press release for its 2026 Green Quadrant for enterprise carbon management software names Cority among eight Leaders from 21 vendors evaluated.
The evaluation is global and scores no UK regime.
How much does Cority cost?
Cority publishes no price on the pages read (1 October 2026); its pages lead to a conversation with its team. This site records it as Enterprise level · TBD.
