Tracemark

Sustainability reporting your auditor can trust.

Tracemark is the platform that 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

Most sustainability reporting is built on spreadsheets that no one can audit.

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.

Tracemark

01

Multi entity collection.

Built for groups. Collect across many subsidiaries and sites, with each user seeing only what their role and their scope permit.

02

A governed calculation engine.

Emissions and metrics are computed by a sealed engine from a versioned factor library, so any figure can be reproduced by hand and defended in an audit.

Tracemark review and approval workflow showing submission, review and lock states
03

Controls and governance.

A maker and checker workflow, segregation of duties, and approved figures that cannot be altered, even with direct database access.

04

An executive dashboard.

Performance across all three pillars, emissions trends, subsidiary comparison, data quality, and a plain language read of what changed and what needs attention, with every figure traceable.

05

Disclosure coverage.

A live register showing, requirement by requirement, what is covered, what is provisional, and what is still a gap against each framework.

06

A complete audit trail.

Every action recorded and immutable, with the full evidence chain preserved for assurance.

07

Local factor content.

Emission factors sourced for the markets where our customers operate, so the numbers reflect the grid and the fuels they actually use.

How it works

Six steps from data to disclosure

Configure.

Set up the group, its legal entities, its sites and assets, and the reporting year.

Collect.

Preparers enter activity data, month by month and site by site, across the environmental, social and governance pillars, with progress visible throughout.

Control.

Nothing is reported on trust. Submissions move through a maker and checker workflow: a preparer submits, a reviewer returns or approves, and approved figures lock.

Calculate.

Activity data becomes emissions and metrics through a versioned library of emission factors, never a hard coded number, so every result is reproducible.

Disclose.

Figures map to the requirements of the reporting frameworks, each marked covered, provisional or a gap, so a company always knows where it stands.

Assure.

An immutable audit trail records every action, and every figure opens to its full lineage and evidence, so an auditor can follow any number to its source.

Standards

Standards it aligns with.

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.

Audience

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.

Difference

What makes it different.

Every figure is defensible. The trace from a headline number to its evidence is the product, not an add on. Competitors show a dashboard; Tracemark shows the proof beneath it.

No number is ever invented. Calculations are deterministic and reproducible. No estimate is ever presented as a fact, and no artificial intelligence decides a reported figure.

The database enforces the promises. Tenant separation and the immutability of approved figures are enforced at the data layer, not merely by the interface, which is a far stronger claim to make to an auditor.

Local where it counts. Factor libraries and support built for the markets our customers actually operate in.

One system that scales. Serving many companies from one platform, so the product grows without a separate installation per customer.

Pricing

Priced on entities, not seats.

Tracemark is priced on the number of legal entities a company reports on, because that is what reflects both the value delivered and the work involved. Plans run from a single entity to large groups, available monthly or annually, with enterprise arrangements for regulated and listed companies.

Trust and security

Built so the promises hold.

Tracemark is built so that one customer's data is invisible to another at the database level, approved figures cannot be altered even with direct database access, and every action is recorded on an immutable trail.

Tenant separation at the data layer

One customer's data is invisible to another at the database level. This is enforced in the data layer, not merely by the interface.

Immutable approved figures

Approved figures cannot be altered, even with direct database access. Once a figure locks, it stays locked.

An immutable audit trail

Every action is recorded on an immutable trail. Nothing is deleted, nothing is edited after the fact.

Private evidence documents

Evidence documents are private and reachable only through the platform's own permission checks.
