Cority carbon accounting software

Cority sells environment, health and safety software, and its sustainability and ESG reporting sits inside that platform rather than beside it (cority.com).

This page sets what Cority says about its carbon and ESG reporting beside what SECR, ESOS, UK SRS and the FCA’s rules require.

We have not tested Cority and give it no rating.

Cority calls its platform “EHS+”: one system for employee health, safety, quality, environmental and sustainability work.

Its home page lists the modules — compliance and audits, sustainability reporting, occupational health, incident reporting, industrial hygiene, risk management, and analytics.

The plus sign, in Cority’s words, stands for an expanded scope beyond traditional EHS, and its own FAQ argues that most organisations should not run separate systems for EHS and sustainability.

For carbon, its sustainability reporting page describes Scope 1, 2 and 3 calculation from a database of more than one million emission factors, target tracking, and reports aligned with CDP, GRI, SASB, TCFD and CSRD.

Much of that sustainability capability came from Greenstone, which Cority says it acquired on 4 May 2023 and describes as a UK-headquartered company founded in 2006 (Cority’s Greenstone page).

Cority’s AI layer is Cortex AI; Cority’s own account of the 2026 Verdantix report describes an invoice-scanning agent that reads emissions data from utility bills.

These are Cority’s statements about its own product.

Cority says it gathers, calculates and tracks Scope 1–3 emissions using built-in emission factors, across operations and supply chains.

UK SRS S2 asks for absolute gross Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions measured under the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, with Scope 2 on a location-based approach (¶29(a)).

All fifteen Scope 3 categories must be considered and the included ones disclosed, whatever the measurement method (¶¶B32–B33).

A large factor library raises a UK-specific question: which factor was applied to each UK activity line, and from which year’s set.

The UK Government’s conversion factors are republished each year, and Cority’s own phrase is “time-stamped emission factors”, so the record of which set fed which figure should exist.

The rules on the fifteen categories are set out on Scope 3 under UK SRS, and the standard itself on UK SRS S2.

Cority says its reporting is audit-ready, with human review at each step of its AI-assisted data capture and granular role-based permissions.

The final FCA UK SRS rules do not impose a general requirement to obtain third-party assurance over these disclosures.

Listed companies in scope of the FCA rules state whether they obtained it and, if so, the provider, the disclosures covered and the standard used.

One outside view can be checked at its owner’s page: Verdantix’s 2026 Green Quadrant press release names Cority among eight Leaders in enterprise carbon management software, out of 21 vendors evaluated — Verdantix’s assessment, not ours.

Cority also appears in CDP’s partner directory; CDP’s own disclosure platform is where the responses go.

The test for assurance is the same for every tool: pick one reported figure and trace it, inside the system, to the invoice or meter reading behind it.

What assurance is and is not required for is on UK SRS assurance.

Cority’s strength, on its own account, is the operational data an EHS platform already holds — sites, assets, meters and permits.

That makes the ESOS and factor-year requests the most revealing ones to put to it: they test whether operational data becomes a statutory figure without leaving the system.

The builder beside this text lists them with their provisions; mark each as shown on your data, described only, or not yet asked.

The SECR limbs behind those requests are on SECR deadlines and the wider UK picture on UK ESG reporting requirements.
