Greenio

Greenio is carbon-accounting software built around Indian reporting needs, with Scope 1–3 tracking and tools for BRSR, ESG and CCTS workflows. It best suits smaller companies whose operations or finance teams need to manage emissions without specialist users. Its free tier supports ongoing tracking, but reporting caps and plan-level limits make the right tier depend on how often you report and who needs access.

Overview

Greenio tracks Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and breaks results down by month, source and hotspot. Teams can enter electricity, gas, fuel and refrigerant data or use estimates, which gives non-specialists a way to build an account even when records are incomplete. BEE-standard methods and CEA/BEE emission factors are aimed at Indian companies.

BRSR and ESG reporting, board-ready PDF exports, and CCTS Verify and Snapshot downloads connect the emissions account to reporting work. Bulk data import, bill scanning and Tally integration can help bring business records into the workflow. Supplier engagement and an audit trail support wider data collection and review, though the reporting volume and collaboration capacity depend on the plan.

Key features

Tracking and reporting

Month, source and hotspot views are more useful for locating concentrations than a single total. Scope 1–3 coverage gives companies a broad account, while built-in emission factors and support for estimates lower the burden on teams without dedicated carbon specialists. Greenio offers reporting formats tailored to Indian requirements, but the Free plan allows only four PDF reports a year; companies with recurring reporting needs will likely need a paid tier.

Security and data handling

Greenio says it stores data on EU-based Supabase servers and protects it with TLS in transit, AES-256 at rest, row-level security and role-based access controls. It says it does not sell user data or use it to train AI models without explicit consent, and uses only essential session cookies. Account and emissions data are retained while an account is active and for seven years after closure; users have 30 days after closure to export their data. That retention period is worth considering for companies with different deletion or governance requirements.

Pricing

Greenio uses a freemium model. Its Free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited data entry, Scope 1–3 tracking, AI recommendations, an activity log and four PDF reports per year. It is a practical starting point for a small team establishing a footprint, but the annual report cap limits its usefulness for regular reporting.

Growth costs ₹2,999 a month and raises the annual allowance to 12 PDF, CSV or Excel reports. It adds BRSR and ESG reporting, monthly logging reminders, email support and a 30-day free trial. This is the clearest fit for a company that needs periodic reporting in several formats; it does not publish a team-member allowance, so it is harder to assess for larger collaborative teams.

Pro costs ₹5,999 a month and includes unlimited exports, up to 10 team members and 10 suppliers, Snapshot and refrigerant automation, plus a 30-day free trial. It fits companies that need more reporting volume and supplier participation than Growth provides, though the team and supplier ceilings remain relevant.

Enterprise costs ₹49,999 a month. It adds CCTS and BEE PAT modules, unlimited team members and suppliers, multi-entity support, audit packages, API access, and dedicated onboarding and support, with a 14-day free trial. This tier is aimed at organizations with more complex reporting and entity structures; it is a substantial step up in monthly cost and unnecessary for teams that only need basic tracking and occasional reports.

Platforms

Greenio is available on the web and through an API. API access is included with Enterprise; the platform feature set also names bulk import, Tally integration and bill scanning.

Who it's for

Greenio is designed for Indian companies with 1–250 employees, particularly operations and finance teams without carbon-accounting specialists. It is a strong fit when Scope 1–3 tracking needs to feed BRSR, ESG or CCTS-oriented work. Companies outside that profile, or those that need different data-retention terms, should weigh those requirements before choosing it.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Scope 1–3 tracking, estimates and India-focused emission factors give non-specialists a broad starting point.
• Pros: BRSR, ESG and CCTS-related reporting options connect accounting to local reporting workflows.
• Pros: Free includes unlimited data entry, so the main restriction is report output rather than data entry.
• Cons: Free is limited to four PDF reports per year, and Growth to 12 reports across PDF, CSV or Excel.
• Cons: Pro caps collaboration at 10 team members and 10 suppliers; unlimited capacity requires Enterprise.
• Cons: The seven-year post-closure retention period and 30-day export window may not suit every company's data-governance needs.

Verdict

Choose Greenio if your Indian company needs Scope 1–3 tracking tied to BRSR, ESG or CCTS workflows and your operations or finance team wants to manage it without dedicated specialists. Its main advantage is the combination of local reporting orientation and a free entry tier; look elsewhere if the report caps, Enterprise price or post-closure retention terms conflict with your needs.
