Optional out-of-plan modules, features or services
The following out-of-plan modules and services are offered and priced separately from the three primary reporting-level plans. Modules are typically added to an existing plan and operate on the same annual cycle. Services and eLearning courses can be purchased at any time, independently of the annual plan cycle.
Disclosure guidance modules for reporting standards
Annual modules: add to license
Veriport offers a set of disclosure guidance modules that can be activated based on a company’s reporting needs. When working within a specific ESG topic, users can access precise disclosure guidance for that topic aligned to their selected standard, including the option to break down disclosures by indicator. This is enabled through Veriport’s mapping of each standard’s indicators to the Veriport ESG framework of pillars, themes, and topics. Modules support structured, standard-aligned reporting and make use of the platform’s alternative reporting functionality where applicable. All modules are currently operating in Beta and subject to associated terms of use.
Premium GHG options
Annual modules: add to license
Veriport offers a set of premium GHG functionality options that can be purchased individually to support more tailored or complex emissions reporting requirements. These options are designed to complement the standard GHG features within the platform and are particularly useful for companies addressing Scope 3 emissions or requiring enhanced methodological flexibility.
Spend-based Scope 3 emission factors
Enables companies to estimate Scope 3 emissions using spend-based emission factors, particularly for categories such as purchased goods and services.
Customer-supplied emission factors
Allows companies to submit their own emission factors for inclusion in the Veriport database, subject to certain conditions.
