What is Cloverly
Cloverly is a carbon accounting and carbon offsetting platform focused on embedding emissions estimation and offset purchases into business workflows. It provides APIs and tools to calculate emissions for activities such as shipping, travel, and other transactions, and to purchase offsets tied to those activities. The product is typically used by software teams and sustainability teams that want programmatic carbon calculations and automated offset procurement rather than a broad EHS/ESG suite.
API-first integration model
Cloverly centers on developer-friendly APIs that can be integrated into checkout, shipping, travel booking, or other transaction flows. This supports automated, near-real-time emissions estimation and offset purchasing without relying solely on manual data entry. For organizations building customer-facing sustainability features, this approach can be simpler than deploying a full enterprise sustainability management suite.
Transaction-level carbon workflows
The product is designed around calculating and acting on emissions at the activity or transaction level (for example, a shipment or trip). This can help teams attribute emissions to specific events and trigger offset purchases automatically. It fits use cases where granular, event-driven carbon actions are needed alongside existing operational systems.
Offset procurement built in
Cloverly includes functionality to source and purchase carbon offsets as part of the same workflow used for emissions estimation. This reduces the operational overhead of coordinating separate tools for calculation and offset buying. It can be useful for companies that want a straightforward path from estimated emissions to compensating actions.
Not a full ESG suite
Cloverly focuses on carbon calculation and offset workflows rather than broad EHS, ESG reporting, audit management, or enterprise risk capabilities. Organizations seeking end-to-end sustainability management (policies, controls, multi-topic ESG data, and formal reporting workflows) may need additional systems. This can increase integration and governance effort for enterprise programs.
Limited Scope 1–3 depth
API-driven, activity-based estimation may not cover all requirements for comprehensive corporate GHG inventories across Scope 1, 2, and 3 categories. Companies with complex supply chains, facility metering, or detailed category-level Scope 3 needs may require more specialized data collection and calculation methodologies. The product may be better suited to specific workflows (e.g., shipping/travel) than full corporate accounting.
Offset quality governance needed
Using offsets effectively requires internal governance on project types, standards, vintage, and claims language. While the platform can facilitate purchasing, it does not remove the need for due diligence and policy decisions about offset use versus reduction. Teams may need additional review processes to align offset purchases with stakeholder expectations and reporting requirements.
