• Shorten your research time to develop short list of vendors
from the 75 vendors that sell ECA software

Dynamics of the Vendor Market
• Many energy/utility bill management vendors now offer strong carbon modules
• Responding to environmental data requests from stakeholders for sustainability and compliance is the
top driver among purchasers.
• Supply chain initiatives like the Walmart supplier assessment program continue to drive sustainability efforts.
• The overall vendor market has matured. Overall growth in the market has slowed and average selling prices
have fallen. While dozens of vendors offer a solid, basic carbon reporting module, several industry leaders
are securing the majority of new wins.
