Normative
Science-based carbon accounting with built-in climate strategy advisors
About
Normative is an enterprise carbon accounting platform that measures Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions using GHG Protocol-aligned methodologies, backed by a database of over 349,000 emission factors. It combines automated data collection from ERP and finance systems with AI-assisted categorization and an embedded AI assistant that explains methodologies and emission factors.
Every account includes a named, GHG Protocol-certified Climate Strategy Advisor — unusual for the category and genuinely useful during audits and SBTi target setting. Trade-offs: the interface is data-heavy and technical, and reaching actionable insights can take longer than with lighter-weight tools.
