Vendor profile · in its own words
Greenly: what it says it does, against UK requirements
Greenly describes itself as an all-in-one sustainability management platform, from carbon measurement to compliance products for SECR, UK SRS, IFRS, CSRD and CBAM.
This profile quotes only Greenly’s own published pages, read on 30 September–1 October 2026, and sets each claim against the UK requirement it touches.
It is not a review or a rating; the questions at the end are the ones to put to Greenly, or any vendor, on a demo.
What it says it is
Greenly, as Greenly describes it
Greenly presents itself as a sustainability management platform organised in three verbs: measure, reduce, comply.
Measurement covers a greenhouse gas footprint, product life-cycle assessment and IT infrastructure; reduction covers science-based targets, supplier engagement and action plans; compliance covers a long list of frameworks, and Greenly says it can report against up to fifteen more.
For the UK it lists two products by name, SECR and UK SRS, and a TCFD and IFRS product for the international standards UK SRS is based on.
It combines software with access to its own climate specialists, and its pricing page includes kick-off calls, workshops and project management alongside the platform.
Greenly’s pages also make statements about certifications and customer numbers; this profile does not repeat them, because a vendor’s own page is evidence of its features and prices, not of third-party endorsements.
What follows takes the UK-relevant claims to the requirements they touch.
| Greenly’s grouping | Products it lists |
|---|---|
| Measure | GHG; LCA; Green IT |
| Reduce | SBTi targets; sustainable procurement; action plans; VSME; TCFD & IFRS |
| Comply | CSRD; CBAM; EcoVadis; UK SRS; SECR; EUDR; CDP; EU Taxonomy |
Greenly and SECR compliance
A SECR product — against Schedule 7
Greenly’s SECR product promises to “optimise compliance for energy and carbon disclosure”, reporting Scope 1 and 2 emissions, disclosing total energy consumption and producing annual reports.
SECR’s lines are set by Schedule 7 of the accounts regulations: energy in kWh, emissions from gas, transport fuel and purchased electricity (quoted companies: fuel, electricity, heat, steam and cooling, globally, with the UK share), at least one intensity ratio, the methodology, the efficiency narrative where measures were taken, and comparatives.
A company that used 40,000 kWh or less in the United Kingdom states that it is not disclosing the figures for that reason, so ask what the SECR output prints in that case.
The government’s own SECR guidance is the Environmental Reporting Guidelines, last updated in March 2019, which assume the UK government conversion factors.
Greenly’s pricing FAQ says its accounting-data route converts spend to carbon using ADEME emission factors before physical data is added, so ask which factors a UK company’s energy figures are converted with, and whether the 2026 DESNZ set is applied to 2026 activity.
The disclosure itself is on the SECR reporting guide.
Greenly and IFRS sustainability standards
UK SRS and IFRS S2 — what the standards and the FCA ask
Greenly’s UK SRS page says it connects GHG Protocol data to UK SRS reporting, maps data across both, collects primary data from suppliers through a portal, and models scenarios at 1.5°C, 2.7°C and 4°C.
Its TCFD and IFRS page says it supports IFRS S1 and S2 and TCFD-aligned greenhouse gas reporting with a source-based data trail.
The status of UK SRS is precise: UK SRS S1 and S2 are voluntary standards published by the Department for Business and Trade on 25 February 2026, and no UK SRS size threshold applies to private companies.
Listed companies in UKLR 6, 14, 15, 16 and 22 report against UK SRS on a comply-or-explain basis for periods from 1 January 2027 under the FCA’s PS26/19, which replaced the CP26/5 proposal for mandatory S2.
Check any vendor’s description of the regime against those instruments before relying on it.
The metrics in UK SRS S2 ask for measurement under the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, location-based Scope 2, a split of Scope 1 and 2 between the consolidated group and other investees, and the Scope 3 categories included from the Scope 3 Standard’s fifteen.
The standards are on UK SRS S1 and S2, the Scope 3 relief on UK SRS Scope 3 reporting, and every date to first reports on the dated register of S1 and S2.
Scope 1, 2 and 3 calculation
Physical Scope 1 and 2, financial Scope 3
Greenly’s pricing page describes its carbon measurement as “Scope 1 & 2 Physical, Scope 3 Financial”, with a physical analysis of Scope 3 as an option.
In plain terms: energy and fuel are measured in physical units, and value-chain emissions start from spend.
That is the usual starting point; the Scope 3 Standard requires all categories to be accounted for, with exclusions disclosed and justified, and the useful capability is moving a material category from spend to supplier or activity data without rebuilding the model.
UK SRS S2 asks for the categories included to be named, and SECR asks for almost no Scope 3 at all.
Greenly’s UK SRS page says its supplier portal replaces estimates with suppliers’ own energy and activity data; ask to see one category move from spend to supplier data on a demo.
CSRD, CBAM and the rest
The EU products, read from the UK
Greenly lists CSRD, VSME, CBAM, EUDR and EU Taxonomy products, which matter to a UK group only through its EU entities, EU listings or EU customers.
CSRD was narrowed in 2026 by Directive (EU) 2026/470 to companies with net turnover over €450 million and more than 1,000 employees, with a separate test for third-country parents.
The EU CBAM applies to importers into the EU; the UK’s own carbon border mechanism is a separate regime, so check which one a product addresses.
CDP is a voluntary disclosure a customer or investor asks for, and SBTi validates targets; neither is a legal duty.
Your regimes
Greenly’s claims, regime by regime
The checklist beside this builds the outputs your regimes require, each cited to its provision, and shows what Greenly’s own pages say for each regime you tick.
Where no claim was found, that is a question for Greenly, not a finding about the product.
The same checklist with every vendor side by side is on carbon reporting software.

Pricing
Price: Enterprise level · TBD
Greenly’s pricing page lists GHG, LCA and ESG plans, compares four GHG tiers and lists add-ons — API and SSO integration, additional entities and activity modules, expert day rates and workshops — without figures.
It invites a request for a detailed rate, and says the price of a carbon assessment varies by sector.
This site does not estimate an unpublished price, so the entry reads Enterprise level · TBD.
Ask for a three-year cost that includes the add-ons you would need, such as additional entities and integrations.

Frequently asked
Greenly, answered from its own pages
What is Greenly?
Greenly describes itself as an all-in-one sustainability management platform: greenhouse gas measurement, life-cycle assessment, Green IT, target setting, supplier engagement and action plans, and compliance products for SECR, UK SRS, IFRS and TCFD, CSRD, VSME, CBAM, EUDR, CDP, EcoVadis and the EU Taxonomy.
Does Greenly support SECR compliance in the UK?
Greenly lists a SECR product, which it says reports Scope 1 and 2 emissions, discloses total energy consumption and provides annual reports.
SECR asks for more lines than those: energy in kWh, emissions from fuel and purchased electricity, at least one intensity ratio, the methodology, the energy-efficiency narrative where measures were taken, last year’s figures, and a statement where consumption was 40,000 kWh or less.
Ask to see each line.
Does Greenly support UK SRS and IFRS sustainability standards?
Greenly has a UK SRS product that it says maps GHG Protocol data to UK SRS, and a TCFD and IFRS product for IFRS S1 and S2.
UK SRS is voluntary except for listed companies in UKLR 6, 14, 15, 16 and 22, which report against it on a comply-or-explain basis for periods from 1 January 2027 under the FCA’s final rules.
Can Greenly calculate Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions?
Greenly says it measures Scopes 1, 2 and 3 in line with the GHG Protocol.
Its pricing page describes Scope 1 and 2 on physical data and Scope 3 on financial data, with a physical Scope 3 analysis as an option.
For UK reporting, ask which conversion factors apply to UK activity and whether the UK government factors are used for SECR figures.
How much does Greenly cost?
Greenly’s pricing page lists GHG, LCA and ESG plans and optional add-ons, but no figures, on the pages we read (30 September–1 October 2026). This site lists it as Enterprise level · TBD.
Greenly or Normative — which is better?
This site does not compare vendors on quality, because nobody here has tested them.
Both say they cover SECR and CSRD; their own pages differ in emphasis.
Put the same requirement list and the same demo questions to both, on your own data, and compare the written answers.
Does Greenly help with CBAM?
Greenly lists a CBAM product that it says assesses emissions for imports and reports CBAM compliance.
The EU CBAM applies to importers into the EU; the UK’s own CBAM is a separate regime.
Check which one a product addresses.
