ESG by ZYT← All answersHow ESG by ZYT works
How is ESG by ZYT different from other ESG software?
Most carbon platforms are built for companies with a sustainability team and priced accordingly — enterprise tools commonly run tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. ESG by ZYT is built for a business where the person doing this also does three other jobs, and it is opinionated about refusing to produce numbers it cannot stand behind.
Four differences that show up in practice:
- Collection is organised by who holds the data, not by GHG Protocol scope — and each cluster is delegable to that person by a link with no account.
- The claim level is derived from your data, not chosen from a dropdown. You cannot select "in accordance" and have the software agree.
- Country-specific processes refuse to fall back. No Malaysian waste factor means no Malaysian waste figure, and a stated exclusion — not Singapore’s incineration model quietly applied to a landfill.
- Factors are snapshotted per entry, so a report you sent last year still reproduces even after the registry is corrected.
The gap this is aimed at is specific. Enterprise platforms assume dedicated staff, a data warehouse and a budget. Cheap calculators produce a number with no provenance, which fails the moment a customer asks where it came from. The middle — defensible provenance at a price an SME can justify, in a region where the factors actually differ by state — is thinly served.
