Sustainability reporting your auditor can trust.
Tracemark turns a company’s sustainability data into disclosures that hold up to scrutiny. Every figure it produces can be traced back to the record it came from, the evidence behind it and the person who approved it.
The problem
Numbers are copied between files, factors are pasted from memory, and by the time a figure reaches the board or the regulator, no one can say exactly where it came from or who signed it off. As disclosure standards tighten and assurance becomes mandatory, that approach stops being good enough.
Tracemark was built for the opposite: a single, controlled system where every reported number carries its own proof.
| Factor | Version | State | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grid electricity | 2025.2 | Current | Used by FY2025 figures |
| Grid electricity | 2025.1 | Superseded | Kept for figures already approved |
| Diesel, stationary combustion | 2025.1 | Current | Used by FY2025 figures |
| Petrol, company vehicles | 2024.3 | Superseded | Kept for FY2024 figures |
A governed calculation engine
Emissions and metrics are computed by a sealed engine from a versioned factor library. No factor is ever a hard coded number, so a reviewer can take any result, follow it to the activity data and the factor version behind it, and arrive at the same figure.
A returned submission goes back to draft with the reviewer’s comment attached. The person who prepares a figure can never approve it.
Controls and governance
Submissions move through a maker and checker workflow with segregation of duties: a preparer submits, a reviewer returns or approves, and approved figures lock. They cannot be altered afterwards, even with direct database access.
| Framework | Requirement | Position |
|---|---|---|
| IFRS S2 | Scope 1 and 2 emissions | Covered |
| IFRS S2 | Scope 3 emissions | Provisional |
| GRI | Energy consumption within the organisation | Covered |
| GRI | Water withdrawal | Gap |
| NSE guidance | Board oversight of sustainability | Provisional |
Disclosure coverage
A live register shows, requirement by requirement, what is covered, what is provisional and what is still a gap. A company sees its position before the auditor does.
A complete audit trail
Every submission, return, approval and change is written to an immutable trail, with the full evidence chain preserved for assurance. An auditor can follow any number to its source without asking for a spreadsheet.
Built for groups. Collect across many subsidiaries and sites, with each user seeing only what their role and their scope permit.
Performance across all three pillars, emissions trends, subsidiary comparison and data quality, with a plain language read of what changed and what needs attention. Every figure stays traceable.
Emission factors sourced for the markets where customers operate, so the numbers reflect the grid and the fuels they actually use.
How it works
Set up the group, its legal entities, its sites and assets, and the reporting year.
Preparers enter activity data, month by month and site by site, across the environmental, social and governance pillars, with progress visible throughout.
A preparer submits, a reviewer returns or approves, and approved figures lock.
Activity data becomes emissions and metrics through a versioned library of emission factors, so every result is reproducible.
Figures map to the requirements of each reporting framework, each marked covered, provisional or a gap.
Every figure opens to its full lineage and evidence, so an auditor can follow any number to its source.
Pricing
Tracemark is priced on the number of legal entities a company reports on, because that reflects both the value delivered and the work involved. Every plan is available monthly or annually, and every quote follows a walkthrough so it fits the group in front of us.
monthly or annually
For a single company reporting on one legal entity.
monthly or annually
For groups reporting across several legal entities and sites.
annual agreement
For listed, regulated or larger groups, with terms agreed in a written order.
Prices are quoted in writing after a walkthrough and exclude taxes where applicable. Billing terms are set out in the billing page and in each order.
Privacy and trust
The guarantees that matter to an auditor are enforced by the database itself, not merely by the interface.
Read the privacy policyOne customer’s data is invisible to another at the database level.
Approved figures cannot be altered, even with direct database access. Once a figure locks, it stays locked.
Every action is recorded. Nothing is deleted and nothing is edited after the fact.
Evidence documents are reachable only through the platform’s own permission checks.
Standards
Tracemark aligns disclosures with IFRS S1 and IFRS S2, the Global Reporting Initiative, SASB standards and the Nairobi Securities Exchange sustainability guidance. It structures the requirements and preserves the evidence behind each one.
It supports a company towards compliance and assurance. It does not itself certify compliance, and that honesty is deliberate.
Who it is for
Companies with subsidiaries that need to report sustainability data credibly: sustainability managers who collect and prepare the data, chief financial officers who answer for the numbers, and auditors who have to test them.
Built first for Kenya and East Africa, with local factor content and local support, and designed to serve companies across Africa and the United States.
What makes it different
The path from a headline number to its evidence is the product, not an add on.
Calculations are deterministic and reproducible. No estimate is presented as a fact, and no artificial intelligence decides a reported figure.
Tenant separation and the immutability of approved figures are enforced at the data layer, which is a far stronger claim to make to an auditor.
Many companies are served from one platform, so improvements reach every customer without a separate installation.
