What GreenPlaces does

GreenPlaces (legal entity Greenplaces, Inc.) is a Raleigh, North Carolina-based sustainability and ESG compliance software company founded in 2021. The company operates an all-in-one platform that combines AI-powered software with dedicated human advisory services to help mid-market and growth-stage companies (100-10,000 employees) meet sustainability disclosure requirements from regulators, investors, and Fortune 500 supply chain counterparties. The platform centralizes Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon accounting aligned to the GHG Protocol, supports multiple reporting frameworks (CDP, EcoVadis, SBTi, GRI, GRESB, ISSB/SASB, B Corp), tracks regulatory mandates (California SB 253/261, CSRD, EU AI Act), and now extends into AI governance and infosec compliance (SOC 2, ISO 27001).

The underlying technology stack pairs AI-driven regulatory scanning and automated ESG data collection with expert-led workflow management, producing audit-ready outputs for framework submissions. Service modules cover carbon accounting, CDP and EcoVadis reporting, SBTi target validation, California climate disclosure compliance, ISSB/SASB and GRI reporting, GRESB assessment support, B Corp certification, and AI governance. Add-on features include Digital Greenpages (visual sustainability profiles), Custom Greenbadges, and bulk carbon offset/REC procurement. The company is SOC 2 Type II certified and is itself a Certified B Corporation.

GreenPlaces generates revenue through annual subscription contracts that bundle platform access with expert advisory services, sold via a direct enterprise and mid-market field sales motion initiated through "Request a demo" and "Book a strategy call" CTAs. The customer base spans Professional Services (notably 45%+ of Am Law 100 law firms), Financial Services (private equity, insurance, asset managers), Built Environment (architecture, real estate), Software & Technology, Manufacturing, and Healthcare. The company has raised approximately $19 million cumulatively across seed and Series A rounds from Redpoint Ventures, Felicis, Bull City Venture Partners, Tishman Speyer, and Triangle Tweener Fund, and is led by founder and CEO Alex Lassiter.
