Frequently asked questions
Who must report under SB 253 and SB 261?
SB 253 requires large companies doing business in California to report Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions; SB 261 requires a climate-related financial risk report aligned to the TCFD. Thresholds are based on total annual revenue.
Which emission factors are included?
EPA and eGRID factors for Scope 1, 2 and 3, matched to your reporting year, with IEA grid factors for international operations. New factor editions are added each year and included with your licence.
How does this compare to hiring a consultant?
An initial California climate reporting project with a consultant typically costs £15,000 to £25,000. EcoLedger is £7,900 for the reporting year, and you own the process and can repeat it each year.
Do I need sustainability expertise to use this?
No. The workflow is designed for finance and sustainability teams without prior experience, guiding you through each requirement with explanations, templates and help text throughout.
Can I use this for multiple entities?
Yes. The standard licence covers three entity profiles, each with its own metrics and disclosure set. Larger groups reporting across many subsidiaries are suited to our Enterprise and Group plans.
Where is my data stored, and is it secure?
You choose. Your data can stay entirely on your own computer, in your browser, or you can sign in to sync it securely and use EcoLedger from any device. Sign-in is passwordless, a single-use code sent to your email, your data is only ever transferred over an encrypted connection, on enterprise-grade hosting, and everything is exportable at any time.
