Overview
Sustain.Life provides an API-first platform for measuring and managing carbon emissions and other environmental data for businesses. It offers a suite of APIs to calculate and record emissions, integrate with ERP systems, and track utilities and supply-chain impacts. The product works by developers calling these APIs to compute emissions data, store it, and connect it with existing enterprise systems, enabling organizations to quantify, offset, and report their environmental footprint. The company differentiates itself through its API-centric approach, broad coverage (employee-level, vendor/supply chain, and utility data), and the ability to scale from small businesses to large enterprises, with optional consulting and investor-backed support. Sustain.Life’s goal is to help companies measure, manage, and report their environmental impact to reduce carbon footprint and align with third-party ESG standards.
