01
Scope 1, 2 and 3
A full year for the whole company, split by scope and by Scope 3 category, with every category it does not model listed as not tracked.
Who it is for
Drinks brands that need a company footprint for the first time, or want to replace a spreadsheet with figures they can trace. Breweries, wineries, distilleries and cider makers, with one site or several.
This is your footprint in alkatera
Every tonne, down to the record behind it.
Scope 1, 2 and 3 for the year, split the way the GHG Protocol splits it. The categories alkatera does not model are listed as not tracked, so nobody reads them as zero.
Demonstration account. Figures are illustrative.

Rare for a drinks business. If one of these applies to you, tell us and we will add it rather than leaving you to force it into another category.
Measured beats estimated
Swap an estimate for a bill. Watch it firm up.
A site with no bills starts on an industry average, and a cost in your accounts starts as an estimate from spend. Give Rosa the bills and the share from readings and bills goes up.

What you walk away with
Things you can hold, not promises.
02
Every tonne traced
Each figure opens down to the bill, invoice or record behind it, and says how it was worked out: measured, from activity, from spend or from an industry average.
03
How sure it is
The share of your footprint that comes from readings and bills, so you know which estimates to replace next.
04
Year after year
Each year kept on its own, compared with the last, and signed off when you are happy. A signed-off year only changes with a restatement and a reason.
How it works
Three steps.
- 1
Give Rosa your bills
Energy, fuel, water and waste bills, travel and freight, or connect Xero, QuickBooks or Sage. Email them in if that is easier.
- 2
See it add up
alkatera works out each scope as the records arrive. Sites with no bills yet are estimated from industry averages and labelled.
- 3
Firm it up and sign it off
Swap estimates for real bills, then sign the year off. Use it in your sustainability report and on your other jobs.

Questions people ask.
Which method does alkatera use?
The GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and ISO 14064-1, with the UK government’s DESNZ conversion factors. Where you only have spend, alkatera estimates from your accounts and marks the figure as estimated from spend.
Which Scope 3 categories are covered?
Purchased goods and services, capital goods, upstream transport, waste, business travel, staff commuting, downstream transport and the use of your products. Leased assets, processing, franchises and investments are listed as not tracked, so nobody mistakes them for zero.
What if we do not have bills for every site?
A site with no bills is estimated from an industry average and labelled as one. As soon as real bills arrive for that period, they replace the estimate, and the share from readings and bills goes up.
Is Scope 2 market-based or location-based?
Location-based. alkatera shows the share of your electricity that is renewable, but it does not change the Scope 2 figure for green tariffs.
Is this included in the price?
Yes. Every alkatera plan includes the whole platform, from £99 a month (Seed, excluding VAT), with a 30-day free trial.
