Zelio Impact

Core Features

Zelio Impact is built around a structured carbon management workflow that guides users from project scoping and automated data collection through emissions analysis, target planning, and ongoing decarbonization. The platform combines organizational carbon accounting with product life cycle assessment, allowing both activities to be managed within the same system. Some of its principal features include:

• Carbon Footprint Management – Calculates Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions in accordance with the GHG Protocol, Bilan Carbone®, BEGES, and ISO methodologies. The platform centralizes activity data, identifies major emission sources, and generates standardized carbon reports.

• AI-Assisted Data Collection – Uses the AI assistant ZelIA to analyse invoices, accounting files, ERP exports, and supplier information, automatically categorizing data and accelerating emissions data collection while allowing users to validate the results.

• Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) – Supports product carbon footprints and full multi-impact life cycle assessments in accordance with ISO 14040, ISO 14044, and ISO 14067. Users can compare design scenarios, materials, and suppliers to support eco-design initiatives.

• Scenario Analysis & Decarbonization Planning – Enables users to compare emissions scenarios, identify priority reduction opportunities, define SBTi-aligned decarbonization pathways, and monitor progress over successive reporting periods.

• Dashboards & Regulatory Reporting – Provides customizable dashboards, year-on-year emissions tracking, automatic report generation, and exports to support carbon reporting and internal decision-making.

• Partner & White-label Solutions – Offers dedicated editions for sustainability consultancies and accounting firms, including white-label deployment, customizable deliverables, and collaborative environments for managing multiple client projects.
