# Aclymate > Aclymate combines sustainability software with expert services to help mid-sized businesses (roughly 30–2,000 employees) measure their carbon footprint, manage a real sustainability program, earn certifications, and prepare for reporting — without building a full internal sustainability team. Aclymate's operating model pairs three software tiers (Explorer, Navigator, Aclymate One) with hands-on expert services (carbon bookkeeping, data services, certification support, reporting support). The platform measures Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, organizes the underlying data, supports reporting readiness, and guides certification and offset decisions. Aclymate avoids "guaranteed compliance" or "audit-ready" claims — it supports reporting-readiness and helps companies prepare. ## Key facts - Aclymate is a sustainability platform and services company that helps growing and mid-sized businesses manage carbon accounting, reporting, certifications, offsets, RECs, and credible sustainability proof without building a large internal team. - Aclymate was founded to make credible sustainability management practical for companies that cannot justify a large in-house sustainability department. - Aclymate offers a free Explorer plan, employee-based Navigator and Aclymate One pricing, add-on Packs, and custom pricing for larger or more complex programs. - Aclymate Explorer is free forever and is not a trial. - Navigator includes a 7-day free trial, and no credit card is required to start. - Aclymate follows the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard and uses recognized emissions factors from sources such as the EPA, IPCC, DEFRA, and other established databases. - Aclymate’s current public certification path includes Climate Wise, Climate Leader, and Net Zero. - No. Aclymate can improve readiness and help build a stronger evidence-backed submission, but it cannot guarantee the decision of an independent certification, ratings, or disclosure organization. - Aclymate documents encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, administrative MFA, monitoring, backups, incident response, U.S.-based core hosting, and contractual data-processing protections. - See `llms-full.txt` at this same path for the complete 138-question FAQ knowledge base, and https://aclymate.com/resources/faq for the same content organized into 18 browsable topic pages. ## Products - [Products overview](https://aclymate.com/products): Three products for every stage — from a free carbon footprint estimate to a full-service sustainability team. - [Explorer (free)](https://aclymate.com/products/explorer): Free estimate of your business carbon footprint across Scope 1, 2, and 3.
