A New Software Tool for Scope 3 Carbon Footprint
and Triple Bottom Line Accounting

BL3 logo

Bottomline3 is a complete carbon, footprint and triple bottom line software tool for companies and organisations. Using this software you can create a comprehensive sustainability report based on unique full upstream Scope 3 (supply chain) accounting of greenhouse gases, triple bottom line and/or ecological footprint accounting of your organisation.

A software trial of the UK version is available for download here!

The software takes your organisation’s financial accounts, together with on-site impact data, as input. There is no additional data collection effort. The outputs are powerful diagrams and tables forming the backbone of a comprehensive sustainability report. Sector benchmarking, structural path analysis (upstream supply chain analysis), production layer decomposition and quantification of shared responsibility are available for all indicators. Triple bottom line accounting routinely covers social, economic and environmental indicators and enables decision-makers to quantify trade-offs between different facets of sustainability.

The critical advantage of the Bottomline3 software is that it includes both the direct (on-site, internal, immediate) effects as well as the indirect (off-site, external, upstream) effects associated with a large and distant web of supply paths. This includes an easy and full upstream Scope 3 (supply chain) accounting of greenhouse gases - a feature not offered by any other tool on the market! Assessment of your organisation’s indirect impacts is critical because it enables meaningful benchmarking, avoids loopholes in reporting and informs about real risk. It also removes boundary problems. You have the capacity to reward and encourage the greening of supply chains and increase your organisation’s attractiveness to customers.

Bottomline3 is a software package for companies and organisations developed by the University of Sydney, Capiotech and - in the case of the UK - the Centre for Sustainability Accounting.
