"In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks." – John Muir
In a world where "green" has become a marketing buzzword, Simple. stands as a testament to our core philosophy: we make sustainability's carbon accounting simple.
Origins Born from Observation
Our story began when we noticed a troubling pattern: companies required to comply with sustainability regulations like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) were struggling with data reliability, especially when calculating Scope 3 CO2 emissions.
We saw too many organisations estimating their environmental impact rather than measuring it precisely. They wanted to meet EU gas emissions compliance standards but lacked the tools to gather accurate data efficiently. That's when we realised there was a critical gap in the market – not for more 'green solutions,' but for a partner willing to make the genuine effort of turning existing business data into actionable environmental intelligence.
Our Name, Our Promise
The name "Simple." emerged naturally from this realisation. It communicates our essential truth: sustainability reporting doesn't have to be complicated.
While carbon accounting involves complex calculations and detailed regulatory requirements, we believe the experience for our clients should be straightforward. We handle the challenging work of detailed data collection and analysis, so our clients don't have to divert resources from their core business.
The period after "Simple" isn't just punctuation—it's a statement. It represents our commitment to providing definitive, clear solutions without unnecessary complexity. When it comes to sustainability reporting, we believe the answer should be simple. Period.
Beyond Greenwashing
In an industry where greenwashing has become commonplace, Simple. stands apart by doing the heavy lifting for our clients. We focus on detailed carbon accounting, comprehensive emissions reporting aligned with CSRD requirements, and actionable sustainability strategies that support the EU's ambitious Fit for 55 package.
What makes us different is that we don't expect our clients to become sustainability experts overnight. Instead, we leverage data they're already collecting through their financial operations, transforming it into precise carbon footprint measurements.
Our clients choose Simple. because we make environmental leadership simple and attainable without requiring them to build new expertise or infrastructure.
"Working with Simple. transformed our sustainability reporting," said our first partner. "We went from estimating our emissions to knowing them precisely, all without changing our day-to-day operations. Their name perfectly describes their approach—sustainability compliance is now simple for us."
Looking Forward
As sustainability regulations continue to evolve under frameworks like CSRD and the Fit for 55 initiative, our mission becomes increasingly vital. We believe that helping companies meet environmental challenges shouldn't require them to become experts in carbon accounting overnight or to hire expensive teams of consultants to go on a multiple months mission to audit and estimate carbon footprints.
When clients ask why we're called Simple., we tell them it's because we take complex carbon accounting and make it simple for them. We handle the effort of calculating (not estimating) precise carbon footprint data, delivering effortless and valuable results. We invite them to experience how easy environmental compliance can be—because when it comes to our planet, making the right choices today determines the world we'll have tomorrow.
