Sweep

Does the core business genuinely avoid or reduce emissions, or build climate resilience? Share of revenue that is actually 'green'. Fossil-dependent models score low.

Sweep's core product directly enables corporate decarbonization workflows — it now manages over 1 billion tonnes of CO₂ across its customer base and offers SBTi-aligned target-setting, scenario modeling, and supplier engagement tools — but as a software platform it produces no direct emission reductions itself; all impact is mediated through customer behaviour, earning a solid but not top-tier enabler score.

Credible, science-based targets (SBTi), a real net-zero plan with progress to date, and CDP disclosure — not just a dated press release.

No publicly verifiable evidence was found that Sweep itself holds SBTi-validated targets or a CDP disclosure score for its own operations; the company actively helps customers pursue SBTi alignment and holds CDP Accredited Partner Silver status as a solution provider, but the absence of its own science-based target validation and public progress reporting is a material gap for a company in this space.

Operational footprint, labour and social practices, and governance quality across the company's own operations and supply chain.

Sweep holds Certified B Corporation status (confirmed via partnership PR with 3Degrees) and SOC 2 certification plus ISO 27001 compliance, indicating meaningful governance and social practices for a software startup; as a SaaS business its operational footprint is low (no manufacturing, no logistics), but publicly available labour, D&I, and supply chain disclosures specific to Sweep as an employer are limited.

Quality of disclosure, independent third-party verification, and how much hard data backs the company's claims.

Sweep is recognised as a Leader in the 2026 IDC MarketScape for Carbon Accounting and is top-ranked by Verdantix for ESG reporting software, and its platform is built around full audit trails and third-party auditor access; however, Sweep's own sustainability disclosures (annual report, GHG inventory, CDP response) are not publicly findable, creating an ironic gap between the transparency it sells to clients and what it publicly discloses about itself.

Controversies, litigation, pollution, fossil-fuel lobbying, conflict-zone involvement and governance scandals. Higher means cleaner.

No material controversies, greenwashing allegations, regulatory sanctions, litigation, fossil-fuel lobbying, or governance scandals were found in any public source regarding Sweep (sweep.net); the company's competitive positioning is explicitly anti-greenwashing, and there is no evidence of conflict-zone involvement or serious labour misconduct.
