The approach that Sage Earth have taken allows us to easily search and calculate portfolio risk analysis, even when data points are limited, which supports us in making climate-informed investment decisions, automating a process which would otherwise take significant time. The Sage Earth platform is of particular interest to BBB as it focuses in on the Small Medium Enterprises (SME) sector of businesses. This tool is valuable to support BBB’s mission on an ongoing basis.
From the work we’ve been doing since Cop26, businesses have been telling us they need a simple way of getting an understanding of their carbon impact. We felt that the Sage Earth proposition was the perfect solution for many of the SMEs within our network as it provides a benchmark measurement for their carbon footprint and we are proud to offer such a fantastic product to our members that is so affordable.
With Sage Earth, environmental sustainability has never been so easy. I get reminded of what to do and when, it’s super intuitive.
We were drawn to Sage Earth by their open and collaborative principles. It was clear from the start that they are truly focused on helping businesses engage with the latest science-based standards and that transparency was exactly what we were looking for. Now, Sage Earth has become a trusted point of authority to us. It’s simple: they provide us with standard-compliant reporting information we can trust, quickly and easily.

FAQs
Which Sage accounting software does the platform integrate with?
Sage Earth currently integrates with Sage Business Cloud Accounting (also sometimes referred to as Sage One or Sage Accounting), with Sage 50 and Sage 50 Cloud integration coming very soon. We advise checking which Sage accounting product you are using before signing up to Sage Earth.
Does the platform connect to Xero or QuickBooks?
Yes, Sage Earth connects to both Xero and QuickBooks (not including QuickBooks Self Employed Accounting) via a secure API.
Which countries does Sage Earth serve?
Sage Earth is currently only available to UK customers. This is because our current calculation methodology uses predominantly UK data sources and is based on UK industry averages. There are plans on our roadmap to bring the product to other regions so please watch this space!
What sized businesses does Sage Earth help?
Sage Earth is best suited to small and medium-sized businesses. We're passionate about SMBs and supporting them in their journey to Net Zero.
Why should I use Sage Earth, and not commission a sustainability consultant?
Consultants can deliver excellent impact measurement and strategy, but often at a significant cost. Their manual approach is very thorough and involved, which often takes a large investment of time. This approach results in a one-off carbon footprint, rather than one that is updated in near-real time by a live accounting feed.
For this reason, a consultancy-led approach is not fit to meet the needs of the climate crisis at scale. Sage Earth applies the latest technology to support your business in growing its awareness of its carbon footprint at a fraction of the cost and time investment of a consultant.
Does Sage Earth produce carbon footprints that meet the requirements of the GHG Protocol?
All carbon footprints are compiled in essentially the same way: record all the things you do, measure the impact of each and add it all up. The methodology we use and the carbon calculations we carry out are always compatible with the standards laid out in the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
Sage Earth has come up with a pragmatic approach to carbon footprinting, which allows organisations to get started measuring their carbon footprint with easily available accounting data, and then coaches them to refine this with better data over time. We consider data to be better based on it’s: accuracy, completeness and specificity.
What is Sage Earth's approach to scope 3 emissions?
Scoping is a key carbon accounting concept that apportions an organisation's total carbon footprint between three categories. These categories are based on the degree of influence a given organisation has over the source of emissions. You can read more on scoping here.
As scope 3 emissions typically make up the majority of a business's carbon footprint, our approach is to allocate all of an organisation's carbon footprint to scope 3 by default, and subtract scope 1 and 2 from this. We think this approach is best to ensure all businesses are accountable for all their associated emissions by default, which is the only way we can limit warming to within 1.5℃.
Do you offer any live product demos?
Yes, we do offer live group demos and you can register your interest to join one of these at earthsales@sage.com. In the meantime, you can find a range of self-serve help documentation to support you (such as our demo video and other help guides) in our Help Centre.
