CLIENT
Sustainability reporting made audit-safe.
GLOBAL CLIMATE is a Munich-based software company with roots in tax consulting and auditing. Its GLOBAL SUITE helps companies measure their carbon footprint and meet statutory reporting duties such as CSRD, LkSG and the EU Taxonomy. Its customers range from manufacturers and retailers to hospitals, sports clubs and multinational groups, including Sandvik, Bergzeit, Isar Klinikum and VfL Bochum 1848. The team brings together lawyers, sustainability experts, auditors and software developers, and that mix shapes the product: every number has to hold up in an audit.

CHALLENGE
New rules, every year.
Sustainability reporting in Europe keeps moving. CSRD and ESRS, LkSG and CSDDD, the EU Taxonomy, science-based targets and now the Omnibus changes all ask for different data, in different formats, on different timelines. Customers wanted one place to handle all of it, not a new tool for every regulation. The harder problem was data. Emissions data sits in ERP and accounting systems, supplier spreadsheets and survey answers, and every customer structures it differently. Hard-coding each customer's calculations didn't scale, yet the results still had to be exact, traceable and audit-safe.
03
APPROACH
Configure, don't hard-code.
We work as part of GLOBAL CLIMATE's engineering team across the GLOBAL SUITE. At its core is GLOBAL REPORTING, a configurable engine where consultants define datapoints, input tables and shared dimensions for each customer without waiting for a release. Collected data flows through SQL queries and Python scripts that are stored and edited in the app. A dependency graph decides the order they run in, and heavy scripts run in a sandboxed AWS Lambda environment. Charts, audit trails and configurable views sit on top, so frameworks like CCF, PCF and SBTi become apps built on the same engine. AI helps match activity data to the right emission factors.

PRODUCTS
One suite, every reporting duty.
01
CO₂ Accounting (CCF & PCF)
Corporate and product carbon footprints across Scope 1, 2 and 3, following the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064, with data pulled straight from ERP and accounting systems.
02
CSRD & LkSG Compliance
ESRS reporting with double materiality analysis and group consolidation, plus supply chain due diligence with supplier risk analysis and BAFA reporting.
03
ESG & SBT Monitoring
ESG metrics, KPI calculation and self-assessments, alongside science-based reduction targets tracked by scope in real time.
04
Global Reporting
Configurable data collection, SQL and Python transformations, charts and custom views, used to build and run customer-specific reporting apps.
05
TECHNOLOGY
Under the hood.

IMPACT
Reporting that holds up
CO₂ accounting, CSRD, LkSG, ESG and SBT monitoring managed in one GLOBAL SUITE.
Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions calculated directly from existing accounting and ERP data, including SAP and DATEV.
New customer calculations configured by consultants through datapoints, SQL and Python, without a code release.
Audit-safe by design, with audit trails on every change and IDW PS 880 certification.
AI-assisted mapping that speeds up matching activity data to the right emission factors.
COMPLIANCE AS CONFIGURATION
New regulation shouldn't mean a new tool.
Reporting rules change every year. Because GLOBAL REPORTING is driven by configuration, a new framework or a customer-specific calculation becomes a setup task, not a rewrite. Working inside GLOBAL CLIMATE's domain, from emission factors to ESRS datapoints, lets us build software where every figure can be traced back to its source.
