Core Features
CCMetrics is structured around organizational GHG inventories using a standards-led setup and an emissions-factor methodology designed for repeatable annual calculations, including group consolidation when needed. It's main features are:
Scope 1–3 coverage — Calculates emissions across all scopes, using a shared factor backbone and Scope 3 sources such as ecoinvent and economic input–output tables for screening where primary data is limited.
Standards-aligned structure — Automatically classifies results by scopes and categories according to ISO 14064 or the GHG Protocol, so outputs map to common reporting formats without manual recoding.
Traceability for verification — Produces “fully verifiable” results with traceability back to sources and with evidence linked to activity data—useful for assurance workflows and registry submissions.
Targets and tracking over time — Supports inventories plus reduction targets, with tracking intended for year-on-year monitoring rather than one-off footprint studies.
Web-based, scalable setup — Runs in the browser and is positioned for SMEs through business groups, with tiered limits for companies, work centers, and users (including a consultant tier for multi-client use).
Closing Insights
Solid Forest launched CCMetrics out of its consulting work on corporate greenhouse-gas inventories and decarbonization planning, then productized the workflow as a modular web tool. CCMetrics is differentiated mainly by its explicit fit with Spain’s public carbon-footprint reporting: it is presented as compatible with submissions to Spain’s Environment Ministry (MITECO) using the Spanish Office for Climate Change methodology and factors. It also bundles regularly updated DEFRA factors and ecoinvent.
For multinationals with Spanish operations, CCMetrics can align group reporting while still producing documentation for national registries; for UK-linked reporting, the included DEFRA factors reduce factor harmonization work. Pricing is published by tier: €1,600/year (PYME), €2,400/year (Corporate), and €3,200/year (Consultant, up to 10 users), all covering Scopes 1–3. Solid Forest offers consulting support for companies that need help registering or verifying results.
