Altruistiq is a cloud-based sustainability intelligence platform that helps businesses measure, manage, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and broader environmental impact through connected software and AI-powered capabilities.

Altruistiq is built for companies managing sustainability data across operations, products, and supply chains – especially large, complex organisations where data is fragmented across multiple systems, teams, and geographies.

Altruistiq replaces fragmented spreadsheets and siloed data with one integrated system for footprinting, product carbon calculations, supplier engagement, analytics, and reporting. This delivers better data quality, more auditable outputs, faster reporting, and a clearer path from measurement to action.

Altruistiq combines three connected capabilities in one platform: corporate footprinting, product footprinting, and supply chain engagement. This means supplier and product data can flow directly into corporate reporting instead of living in separate tools or manual workstreams.

No. While Altruistiq has deep expertise in food and beverage and agriculture-linked value chains, it supports enterprise sustainability and carbon workflows across any sector where supply chain complexity and Scope 3 emissions are material.

Altruistiq is a sustainability intelligence platform with carbon accounting at its core. It excels where companies need credible emissions data, product footprints, supplier data, and reporting outputs, while also supporting other environmental metrics such as water, energy, and waste.

Sustainability reporting is the output: disclosures, frameworks, and submissions. Sustainability intelligence is the underlying capability to collect, structure, validate, analyse, and act on environmental data so reporting becomes one use case rather than the whole job.

Altruistiq’s three core products are Corporate Carbon Footprint, Product Carbon Footprint, and Supply Chain Engagement.

You can start with one and expand over time. The platform is modular, so customers can start with the use case that matters most today and add other modules as their program matures.

Corporate Carbon Footprint helps companies measure and analyse Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, aligned to the GHG Protocol. It supports data upload by file or API, configurable calculations, audit-ready traceability, and analytics across emissions, water, energy, and waste.

Product Carbon Footprint helps companies calculate product-level footprints using lifecycle-based logic. It includes data validation, emissions factor mapping, impact calculation, and audit-ready traceability for product carbon footprints.

Supply Chain Engagement helps companies identify material suppliers, request primary environmental data, track supplier responses, assess data quality, and feed supplier data back into corporate and product footprint calculations.

Evie is Altruistiq’s purpose-built AI capability for sustainability work. It includes Evie Audit for cleaning and structuring messy data, Evie Analyse for natural-language analytics over customer data, and Evie Advise for methodology and regulatory guidance.

Evie is built specifically for sustainability workflows. It is designed around Altruistiq’s domain models, help content, and environmental data workflows rather than a generic chatbot.

Teams across the business can use Altruistiq. Depending on the use case and permissions, sustainability, procurement, operations, finance, product, and reporting teams can all access relevant views and workflows.

Yes. Altruistiq supports API-based integration and structured imports, and it is designed to fit into existing enterprise architectures rather than forcing a rip-and-replace approach.

Altruistiq’s core corporate methodology aligns with the GHG Protocol, and its product carbon methodology aligns with ISO 14067 and PACT. It also supports related standards such as ISO 14064 and SBTi-linked guidance where relevant.

Spend-based accounting estimates emissions from money spent in a category. Average-data accounting uses sector or category averages for a given product or input. Activity-based accounting uses physical activity data such as weight, distance, energy, or fuel, and is typically more decision-useful when good source data is available. Altruistiq supports these approaches in hybrid combinations so customers can improve accuracy over time.

Altruistiq maintains a large environmental factor catalogue with more than 200,000 factors, including highly granular coverage across categories and geographies.

Altruistiq supports all 15 Scope 3 categories. Many customers prioritise the most material categories first, but the platform is built to support full Scope 3 accounting and improve data quality over time.

Yes. You can import data from existing systems, spreadsheets, and other tools, or start from scratch in Altruistiq. The platform supports manual uploads, APIs, and structured ingestion workflows.

Altruistiq uses validation checks, structured transformation, emissions factor mapping, audit trails, and quality scoring to improve data quality. Supplier-submitted PCFs can also be quality-scored and flagged for review before they are relied on in reporting.

PACT is an emerging standard for exchanging product carbon footprint data between suppliers and customers. It matters because it makes PCF data more interoperable, reusable, and easier to share across multiple customer relationships without reformatting the same footprint each time.

Yes. Altruistiq’s product carbon footprint methodology is aligned with ISO 14067, and PCFs generated on the platform are designed to support ISO 14067-compliant reporting workflows.

Altruistiq’s product workflows use LCA-style logic for carbon footprinting, while being much more scalable for business use. For many teams, that means better operational usability and faster updates than a traditional bespoke LCA study, while still maintaining strong methodological alignment and auditability.

Yes. Altruistiq supports FLAG-related accounting and guidance, including agricultural emissions workflows aligned with SBTi FLAG guidance.

Customers identify and prioritise suppliers, send data requests through the platform, track responses, review quality, and then use approved supplier data directly in footprint calculations.

Suppliers log into their own Altruistiq account, then either upload existing data or complete guided workflows to provide the requested information. The level of effort depends on whether they already have PCFs or corporate footprint data prepared.

The PACT network refers to interoperable product carbon data exchange built around the PACT standard and API.  It helps customers reuse high-quality PCF data across supplier–buyer relationships more efficiently and reduces duplicate supplier effort.

Response rates depend heavily on program design, supplier maturity, and how clearly the requesting company communicates the mandate. In strong programs, Altruistiq has reported very high engagement, including 90%+ response rates in some supply-chain programs, but response rates should not be presented as universal.

That is common, and the platform is designed for it. Suppliers without existing PCFs can be guided through embedded calculator and onboarding workflows, while suppliers with mature data can upload directly.

Yes. Altruistiq offers services that can support the design, launch, and ongoing management of supplier engagement programs, alongside the software platform itself.

Altruistiq can extend engagement beyond direct suppliers to other partner companies such as franchisees, but those companies have distinct accounts and do not gain access to the customer’s tenant. This keeps participation structured while preserving data separation and governance.

Yes. Supplier data can be used for comparison, prioritisation, and procurement modelling, including understanding the footprint impact of sourcing choices.

Implementation timelines vary by scope, data readiness, and module mix. Some first value moments can arrive within weeks, while fuller enterprise rollouts take longer.

Onboarding typically combines platform configuration, data ingestion, methodology alignment, training, and workflow setup. For supply chain programs, it can also include supplier cohorting, launch planning, communication support, and review processes.

The customer team is usually needed for a structured set of onboarding sessions, data provision, and key methodology decisions, but Altruistiq is designed to reduce the internal lift compared with building everything manually. The exact time commitment depends on scope and data complexity.

Not necessarily. Most customers do not need a large in-house technical build team, though access to relevant data owners and IT stakeholders helps. Altruistiq supports implementation with onboarding, APIs, and services rather than requiring customers to custom-build the system themselves.

Yes. Many customers begin with one module and expand as their needs mature, especially where one priority such as corporate reporting or supplier engagement comes first.

You do not need a perfect systems landscape to start. What matters most is access to relevant operational or purchasing data and a team willing to define scope, owners, and methodology choices. Cleaner source systems can accelerate time to value, but they are not a prerequisite.

Training is typically part of onboarding and can include admin enablement, methodology alignment, product walkthroughs, and supplier-facing support where relevant.

Yes. Altruistiq supports CSRD-related reporting workflows and quantitative outputs, with pre-built support for key CSRD and ESRS metrics.

That depends on your size, listing status, turnover, employee count, and legal entity footprint. Many companies are affected directly, while others feel indirect pressure through customer and investor demands. For website purposes, it is safest to frame this as something Altruistiq can help assess rather than offer legal advice on definitively.

Yes. SECR is one of the reporting outputs Altruistiq supports.

Yes. Altruistiq supports CDP-aligned workflows and reporting outputs.

Altruistiq supports SBTi-aligned work including target setting and tracking, especially where robust emissions baselines and FLAG treatment are required. Validation itself remains with SBTi rather than with software vendors.

Altruistiq actively tracks evolving regulatory standards and updates its reporting capabilities accordingly.

Yes. Altruistiq has positioned support for California disclosure requirements including SB 253 and SB 261 within its advisory and reporting capabilities.

EU Taxonomy is not one of Altruistiq’s clearest headline strengths in the available materials, so the safest website answer is that Altruistiq can support the underlying environmental data workflows that inform broader reporting programs, while more specific Taxonomy requirements should be scoped case by case.

Yes. A core benefit of the platform is using one governed data foundation to support multiple reporting outputs and customer requests.

Altruistiq updates methodologies and reporting workflows as standards evolve and customers are notified ahead of material methodological changes. For website copy, it is safest to say the platform supports current CSRD/ESRS-aligned workflows and is maintained in line with updates, rather than naming a static version that may date quickly.

Yes. GRI is included in Altruistiq’s broader framework coverage and reporting support, though the exact depth of in-platform automation can vary by disclosure area.

Altruistiq holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification and SOC 2 Type II assurance.

Altruistiq is hosted on AWS in eu-west-1, Ireland, with cloud-native infrastructure and EU-based environments for core platform processing.

Altruistiq integrates with customer systems through controlled ingestion methods such as APIs and structured imports. It does not require direct access to production ERP systems as a default operating model.

Evie Analyse runs within controlled enterprise infrastructure, and customer data is not used to train general-purpose models. For Evie Analyse specifically, customer data stays within Altruistiq’s Snowflake environment and AI processing occurs within that boundary.

Yes. Altruistiq supports SSO via SAML 2.0, including common enterprise identity providers such as Azure AD and Okta.

Altruistiq uses role-based access control, with permissions enforced across company structures and customer tenants. Access is governed by role, function, and tenant context.

Altruistiq uses a combined subscription model that blends usage and seat-based pricing, with commercial structure varying by module and scope. Some modules also scale on usage drivers such as PCF volumes or supplier requests.

Pricing is not purely per user. It combines seat-based and usage-based elements.

The standard commercial model is subscription-based and paid upfront. Exact minimum commitments depend on the package and scope agreed.

Pricing scales with the products you use and with the relevant usage drivers for those products, such as number of PCFs generated or supplier requests sent.

The platform subscription covers access to the software modules purchased, while professional services, managed support, or more involved program work may be scoped separately depending on customer needs.

Pilots or proof-of-value discussions can be explored case by case.

Customers can access ongoing platform support, with additional advisory, project management, reporting, and program support available depending on the engagement model.

Altruistiq can provide a high-touch managed service model, particularly for customers that want help with implementation, reporting, and supplier engagement execution alongside the software.

Yes. Running supplier engagement programs on a managed basis is an area where Altruistiq offers both software and services support.

Altruistiq combines software delivery with specialist expertise in sustainability, product carbon accounting, supply chain engagement, and reporting. Internal materials also reference scientific and standards-linked expertise, including work connected to PACT and SBTi FLAG.

Altruistiq updates methodologies, reporting logic, and platform capabilities as standards evolve. Internal materials specifically note that emissions factors and methodologies are updated regularly and that customers are informed ahead of significant changes.

You will be invited into your own Altruistiq account, where you can either upload existing data or complete guided steps to provide the requested footprint information. The exact process depends on whether your customer is asking for product-level PCFs, corporate footprint data, or both.

Sharing existing PCFs is free for suppliers. In some cases, suppliers can also access limited calculator support at no cost, while broader use of Altruistiq as a full platform would be a separate engagement.

That depends on what your customer is asking for. For product-level PCFs, suppliers may need to provide inputs such as materials, packaging, utilities, logistics, waste, and direct emissions. If you already have a PCF, upload is quicker; if not, guided calculation takes longer.

Supplier data sharing is governed through controlled account and data-sharing permissions. Customer tenants are segregated, and supplier companies do not gain broad access to other companies’ data by default.

PACT is a standard for exchanging product carbon footprint data. Its value is that one high-quality, standards-aligned PCF can be reused more efficiently across customer requests, instead of reformatting the same data for each buyer separately.

Yes. Altruistiq is designed to accommodate suppliers at different maturity levels, including those without specialist sustainability teams, through guided workflows and calculator support.

Potentially, yes. High-quality, customer-ready carbon data can make it easier to respond to procurement, retailer, and reporting requests, and can strengthen your position with customers that increasingly expect emissions transparency.
