Core Features
The platform combines guided data collection, automated calculations and reporting with access to Zelsius carbon-accounting specialists. Its methodology is also adapted to emissions sources typical of different Swiss industrial sectors.
Corporate Carbon Footprints: Calculates organizational emissions according to the GHG Protocol. Basic covers Scope 1 and 2, while Pro adds Scope 3 emissions and a detailed breakdown of the resulting footprint.
Guided Emissions Data Collection: Leads users step-by-step through the activity data required for their footprint, reducing the need for prior carbon-accounting knowledge and manual spreadsheet processes.
Emissions Hotspot Analysis: Breaks emissions down by scopes, categories and activities to identify the largest sources and provide an evidence base for reduction measures.
Product Carbon Footprints: The Expert offering can extend accounting to individual products. Zelsius offers cradle-to-gate and cradle-to-grave approaches, with detailed product emissions and hotspot reporting.
Climate Reporting: Produces a shareable climate report communicating the company's footprint and major emissions sources to customers, authorities and other stakeholders.
Verification & Decarbonization Support: Companies can opt for independent verification of emissions data, while the Expert package can add multiple locations and a net-zero roadmap with recommended reduction measures.
Closing Insights
Although Zelsius is developed for the Swiss industrial context, its use need not be limited to Swiss-owned companies. Foreign companies with operations, subsidiaries or suppliers in Switzerland may find the platform useful where they need carbon data that reflects Swiss business conditions or must respond to requests from Swiss customers and procurement processes. Zelsius follows internationally recognized standards including the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064, and its climate reports are designed to communicate emissions information to stakeholders in both Switzerland and Europe. This makes it particularly relevant to international firms with a meaningful Swiss reporting or supply chain footprint. The company says most customers complete their first footprint within two to six weeks, requiring around one to three working days of their own effort.
