Carbon accounting for your whole firm.
Most of a professional services firm's footprint is Scope 3 (the emissions in your supply chain): the services you buy, travel and commuting. Zoru prices it from the records you already keep, along with office energy, and takes it through review to signed-off reports.

What makes it hard, and how Zoru helps.
- Challenge
Most of it is in what you buy
Software, IT, premises, recruitment and outsourced services, spread across hundreds of ledger lines.
How Zoru helpsYour ledger, line by line

Travel sits in expense claims
Flights, trains, hotel nights and mileage are spread across expense reports and receipts.
How Zoru helpsBusiness travel, trip by trip

Commuting and home working
No bill shows how your people get to work, or how often they work from home.

Tenders ask for a Carbon Reduction Plan
Public-sector bids often want a Carbon Reduction Plan to PPN 006 (PPN 06/21 for procurements started before 24 February 2025), and clients want figures that stand up.

What Zoru measures across your firm.
Purchased services
Software, IT, premises costs and outsourced work, estimated from what you spent with a UK spend database.
Travel and commuting
Business travel and staff commuting, including home working, priced with DESNZ factors from your expenses and the survey results you import.
Offices
Electricity and heating for each office, with electricity location- and market-based, and Scope 1 and 2 intensity in tCO₂e (tonnes of CO₂ equivalent) per member of staff.
Electricity read from bills or spreadsheets for offices outside the UK, Pakistan and Türkiye is held for review rather than priced on the UK grid. Typed in by hand, it uses the UK factor, marked as a proxy.
