Scale indicators3 records

Broad incumbents

• Salesforce Net Zero Cloud: Salesforce Net Zero Cloud is an enterprise carbon accounting solution with Scope 3 and supplier engagement modules, comparable to LOCT's buyer-side offering but embedded in a much larger CRM platform.
• Workiva: Workiva offers an ESG and sustainability reporting platform widely used for climate disclosure, overlapping with LOCT's downstream reporting workflow but serving a broader enterprise reporting audience.
• CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project): CDP runs the dominant global disclosure platform for climate and Scope 3 emissions, engaging thousands of suppliers; comparable to LOCT in supplier climate engagement but operating at much larger scale and as a nonprofit.

Direct peers

• EcoVadis: EcoVadis provides sustainability ratings and scorecards for global supply chains, directly competing with LOCT in supplier climate/sustainability engagement, but with a heavier focus on ratings rather than training.
• Persefoni: Persefoni provides a climate management and accounting platform that includes Scope 3 and supplier engagement functionality, positioning it as a direct competitor to LOCT's corporate-buyer value proposition.
• Sweep: Sweep is a carbon management platform focused on Scope 3 emissions and supplier engagement, making it a direct peer in the supplier climate transition category.
• Watershed: Watershed is an enterprise carbon accounting platform with strong Scope 3 and supplier engagement capabilities, directly comparable to LOCT's downstream offering for corporates managing supply chain emissions.

Emerging players

• Greenly: Greenly is a carbon accounting platform with growing Scope 3 and supplier engagement features, partially comparable to LOCT but currently more focused on SMBs and mid-market than enterprise supply chains.

Others

• Guidehouse: Guidehouse is LOCT's facilitator and a global consultancy with a sizable sustainability and climate strategy practice; it represents both a core partner and an adjacent competitor in Scope 3 advisory services.
• Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi): SBTi sets corporate net-zero and Scope 3 target standards that drive demand for LOCT's supplier training; an adjacent ecosystem player rather than a direct competitor.
