GoNetZero and Anvil Analytical Collaborate to Strengthen Carbon Tracking Across Global Supply Chains
SINGAPORE and LONDON, June 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- GoNetZero, a global decarbonisation enabler in clean energy procurement and carbon management, is pleased to announce a collaboration with Anvil Analytical, a UK-based SaaS provider of procurement and carbon analytics. Together, they aim to help organisations gain clearer, more actionable insights across Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. The alliance will bring together GoNetZero's strength in operational emissions data with Anvil's expertise in supplier-level and spend-based carbon analysis, which offers businesses a fuller view of their emissions profile across the value chain. "Many of our clients are looking for a single, seamless view of their emissions – across Scope 1, 2 and 3. This partnership delivers exactly that," said Soon Sze Meng, CEO at GoNetZero. "By combining GoNetZero's deep capabilities in measuring operational emissions data with Anvil's supplier-level insights, we can offer businesses the clarity and confidence they need to meet rising sustainability expectations, at scale." While Scope 3 emissions remain a complex and evolving challenge, this partnership helps address it from both ends – bringing together operational data and procurement-linked estimates and supporting more robust sustainability reporting and supply chain action. The collaboration will support organisations at various stages of their carbon journey, from establishing baselines to enhancing supplier-level visibility. "Scope 3 is often the most difficult piece of the puzzle, but it doesn't have to stay that way," said Steve Harrison, CEO at Anvil Analytical. "This partnership with GoNetZero helps turn unknowns into baselines and estimates into strategy. We're excited to work with a partner whose mission so closely aligns with ours: making data-driven sustainability accessible, practical, and scalable." With regulatory demands tightening and stakeholder scrutiny increasing, the ability to align emissions insights, even without full interoperability, offers a meaningful step forward. This collaboration will allow GoNetZero and Anvil to help companies move from fragmented data to better-informed climate decisions. As the carbon management business of Singapore-listed Sembcorp Industries, GoNetZero empowers organisations worldwide to achieve their decarbonisation goals through its digital solutions and verified environmental attributes.
