Trace

Trace is an Australian climate reporting platform that combines AI-powered software with expert advisory support to help organisations meet mandatory climate disclosure requirements under the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS), AASB S1 and AASB S2, with audit-ready results.

Founded in 2020 during Sydney's worst bushfire season, Trace has teams in Sydney and London and has measured more than 1,000 carbon footprints for organisations ranging from SMEs responding to supply chain and procurement requests through to large listed companies preparing their first ASRS climate-related financial disclosures.

What Trace helps with:

- ASRS / AASB S2 compliance: governance preparation, readiness assessments and AASB S2-aligned disclosure drafting, ready to publish alongside the annual financial statements

- Carbon accounting: audit-ready Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions calculated using the GHG Protocol and up-to-date Australian emission factors

- Climate risk assessments: physical and transition risk and scenario analysis tied to real operations, aligned to AASB S2 requirements

- Transition planning: decarbonisation pathways and emissions reduction targets the board can stand behind

- Supplier engagement and data collection for Scope 3

Trace's "Minimum Viable Compliance" approach distils the standards into what Year 1 reporters actually need, and uses AI to remove up to 80% of manual effort, so finance and sustainability teams can report with confidence without over-engineering. Trace also supports ISSB (IFRS S1 and S2) and UK SRS-aligned reporting.

Trace is subscription-based, with unlimited users on every plan, and is a certified B Corporation.
