    ISS-Corporate Acquires Carbon Accounting Software Provider, SustainaBase

    NEW YORK (October 8, 2024) – ISS-Corporate, a leading provider of compensation, governance, cyber risk monitoring, and sustainability offerings to help companies improve shareholder value and reduce risk, today announced the acquisition of SustainaBase, a Florida-based provider of carbon accounting and data management software solutions for corporate sustainability reporting.

    Formed in 2020, SustainaBase’s software tracks company greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and data. As regulatory, competitive, and supply chain pressures to measure and track GHG emissions have increased, SustainaBase meets the growing need for companies to deliver accurate and complete carbon data and reporting to their stakeholders. California SB 253 and the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, two of the most rigorous standards requiring reporting on all material Scope 3 (indirect emission) categories, are expected to bring tens of thousands of company suppliers under carbon reporting requirements.

    The SustainaBase platform supports clients in automating GHG emissions reporting and helps users develop a data infrastructure for their energy and activity data. Clients will benefit from ISS-Corporate’s holistic climate offering, assisting clients with their regulatory needs on climate risk, strategy, target setting and reporting. Over the coming months, the offering will be integrated into ISS-Corporate’s platform alongside other services to help clients with their climate and broader sustainability reporting demands. SustainaBase’s team, with deep expertise in carbon accounting, data collection, and reporting, will join ISS-Corporate and focus on the continued expansion of client engagement and product capabilities.

    “We are incredibly excited to welcome the SustainaBase team to the ISS-Corporate family and to rapidly integrate their offering into our growing suite of sustainability solutions,” said Marija Kramer, Head of ISS-Corporate. “SustainaBase’s SaaS platform will deliver a holistic carbon accounting solution to our clients, providing an additional pillar of support over the course of their sustainability journey.”

    “We are thrilled to partner with Marija and the entire ISS-Corporate organization to help thousands of companies develop, manage, report and act on their carbon footprint with credible, auditable data,” said Gaida Zirkelbach, co-founder and CEO of SustainaBase. “With this exciting combination, companies will have precise GHG data they can count on to make informed business decisions, along with a full suite of solutions to meet growing regulatory and voluntary needs.”
