Solid tool for tracking our climate data

My overall experience is very positive. Normative provides a structured way to handle our carbon accounting, giving valuable insights into our emissions, particularly within the complex Scope 3. It is a reliable tool that keeps developing and making reporting and insights better over time. I also want to highlight the support from Normative's Climate Strategy Advisors, which adds significant value and has been a great asset in our work.

Pros:

The platform is intuitive and easy to navigate, which lowers the threshold for working with our climate data. I appreciate that the tool is continuously updated with new and better features. It also helps us automate the carbon calculations that would otherwise be manual, and feeling reassured that the calculations have a scientific basis.

Cons:

The reporting features are good, but I would appreciate even more flexibility to customize reports for different internal needs without having to export data.

User-friendly carbon accounting platform

Normative has a strong focus on providing a software solution for the carbon accounting or in CSRD speech the E1 part of ESG. It is not a one-in-all solution like many other solution providers, but that is what we wanted. They continuously work on great new product features helping their customers.

Pros:

What I appreciate most about Normative is the close collaboration and support we’ve received. Their team is highly knowledgeable and always willing to share insights on ESG practices, which has been invaluable for us. I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with them to provide feedback on the platform, resolve minor issues, and participate in tailored workshops. The support function is excellent, allowing us to discuss challenges and find solutions quickly. I truly trust that Normative is committed to helping us succeed in our ESG work. They always take the time to respond, no matter the complexity of the issue. I’ve exchanged countless emails with their team on various challenges, and we always manage to find a solution together.

Cons:

Normative is continuously evolving and launching new features, which is fantastic for progress. However, this can sometimes feel overwhelming for colleagues who don’t use the platform regularly, as it requires time to get familiar with the updates. For daily users like me, the platform is intuitive and user-friendly, but for occasional users, the learning curve can be a challenge.

User-friendly platform with dedicated climate strategy advisors

Normative offers a platform that is in continuous development to ensure the best user experience. Having a dedicated climate strategy advisor has helped us in all aspects of the climate accounting with everything from urgent questions to long-term planning.

Pros:

Normative offers dedicated guidance throughout the process from planning, data collection, and analysis, to review of methodology. There are oftentimes updates to the platform in line with customer requests. We have only been met with flexibility when planning around stricter deadlines. The platform is also very comprehensive when it comes to auditing and methodology where one is allowed to export full datasets and reports.

Cons:

Without having tried an alternative, I can say that Normative is on top of things and the demands that customers have in terms of data, emission factors, and reduction potentials. The templates do require some manual data processing but this also ensures one to be on top of the data.

Pros:

Years back, we started to work with Normative on the spend-based calculation of our emissions from purchased goods and services, and now we report our full carbon footprint in the platform. The tool has developed rapidly over the past couple of years and continues to improve anticipating the customers’ needs. With Normative, we were able to make a shift from heavy annual Excel reporting to a more frequent and easier reporting on a quarterly basis. Lean, intuitive, and user-friendly platform interface and structure, solid expertise in both climate and IT, and constant support and instant feedback from Normative climate strategy advisors and solutions engineers made this journey exciting, smooth, and fun. Engaging in discussions to understand our needs and develop the best possible solution, asking for feedback, piloting, following-up and learning together – that’s a living example of customer focus.

Cons:

When new features are being implemented, it sometimes impacts the current overview of results (e.g., project naming and data allocation to different projects). Also, the data re-upload process can be tricky sometimes – at the moment, it can be difficult to track which data has been processed already and which is still in progress.
