Accelerate your journey to net zero

In the race towards net zero, you need carbon footprint calculations based on accurate, reliable data – not rough estimates.

Root’s automated LCA software solution accelerates your net-zero journey by enabling you to measure and reduce your scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.

The challenge

Companies need accurate carbon data to understand and reduce emissions across their business and value chain.

Here’s the problem – calculating your company’s footprint can be incredibly complex and time-consuming, especially for product companies seeking to understand the impact of all their products.

There is only one way to become net zero – a data-driven approach. Net Zero strategies without accurate carbon data, including the crucial scope 3 emissions, rely on gut feelings and estimates, leading to unpredictable outcomes and wasted investments.

How Root can help

This is where Root steps in. Our platform simplifies the process of measuring your company and product-level footprints. By accurately measuring your carbon footprint, you form the foundation of effective, data-driven climate strategies, making your journey towards net zero emissions bulletproof.

Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Upload data

Upload your available company and product data using our user-friendly onboarding modules. We guide you through every step to collect the correct primary data.
Root maps your supply chain and identifies additional information needed to create robust carbon footprints.
Provide information about your products, suppliers, and transport routes.
Missing some data? No problem – Root helps you fill in the gaps with informed assumptions, and we conduct an initial screening. From this screening, we help you focus on collecting the data on the 10% of your products that have the biggest impact, and we help you improve data accuracy over time.
