Frequently Asked Questions

Can IBM Envizi handle Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions accounting and reporting?

Yes. IBM Envizi includes Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions accounting and reporting, and its emissions calculation engine is built on the GHG Protocol. For Scope 3, IBM says supplier-level transaction data can be captured, aggregated and normalized for consistent calculations and reporting.

Can IBM Envizi ingest ESG data from ERP systems, utility providers and supplier portals?

Yes. IBM Envizi can automate ESG data ingestion from ERP systems, IoT and metering platforms, utility providers, spreadsheets and supplier portals. That breadth is meant to reduce manual entry, errors and reporting cycle time.

Does IBM Envizi support audit-ready controls and traceability for disclosures?

Yes. IBM says IBM Envizi provides configurable metadata at ingestion so records stay context-rich, and the same trusted dataset can be reused across emissions calculations, dashboards, forecasts and regulatory disclosures. The product is also described as supporting finance-grade traceability, internal controls and third-party assurance.

How does IBM Envizi support Scope 3 supplier emissions work?

IBM Envizi supports high-volume, supplier-level transaction data for Scope 3 emissions accuracy. IBM says supplier data is aggregated and normalized within the model so calculations, analytics and reporting stay consistent.

Can IBM Envizi help with emissions reduction planning and forecasting?

Yes. IBM Envizi includes Planning Analytics with AI-infused planning and forecasting to model, prioritize and achieve emissions reduction targets. IBM says it is integrated with financial and operational planning.

How is IBM Envizi priced?

IBM Envizi pricing is based on the data volume you need to manage, and exact requirements are scoped during sales. IBM says the pricing calculator provides an indicative number rather than a final quote.

What account bundles does IBM Envizi use for sizing?

IBM Envizi’s pricing calculator places customers into Essentials, Standard or Premium account bundles. The documented ranges are up to 1,000 Accounts for Essentials, 1,001 to 5,000 Accounts for Standard, and 5,001 to 15,000+ Accounts for Premium.

Does IBM Envizi offer an Emissions API for software integrations?

Yes. IBM Envizi offers an Emissions API that lets you build and scale emissions calculations into your software. IBM also lists the API as a separate pricing entry, so it should be scoped as its own requirement rather than assumed to be included in every package.
