Arbor
What it is
Arbor is an automated carbon accounting platform for sustainability professionals and companies measuring product, organisational and asset emissions. It calculates product carbon footprints, supports Scope 3 measurement and assesses company-owned fleets and buildings for Scope 1 and 2. Hotspot analysis identifies major contributors across materials, transport and manufacturing. Teams can model materials and design choices before production, then build multi-component products with emissions broken down by parts. Reports cover product carbon footprint, avoided emissions, Scope 1 and 2, and Scope 1, 2 and 3. Arbor combines customer primary data with secondary inputs such as trade flows, life-cycle assessment databases, energy grids, transport routes and regional material data. It lists a Shopify app and API connections for PLM, ERP and procurement tools. The platform is available through web and API and supports supplier engagement and audit trails. Unlimited costs $1,250 a year, billed per month and billed yearly, with unlimited calculations and materials, cradle-to-grave calculations, three seats, onboarding and email support.
