Executive Summary
This report presents insights from 38 buyers interviewed for the 2026 Verdantix Green Quadrant study of 21 carbon management software vendors (see Verdantix Green Quadrant: Enterprise Carbon Management Software (2026)). Despite regulatory uncertainty and a more cautious investment environment, organizations continue to invest in carbon management software to improve data quality and streamline reporting. Buyers increasingly look beyond carbon accounting, favouring platforms that enable supplier engagement and actionable emission insights. They also place significant value on strong customer support, implementation expertise, sustainability advisory services and a credible product roadmap. Prospective buyers and software vendors should use this report to understand the factors that shape software selection and long-term customer satisfaction.
