Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Tracera, formerly known as ESG Flo, operates an AI-powered platform that automates the collection, verification and auditing of sustainability data, with the stated aim of bringing that data to finance-grade standards of accuracy and traceability. The product consolidates emissions and other environmental, social and governance (ESG) data into a single system so that companies can prepare for audits, meet reporting obligations and track progress against targets.

The platform is organized around three functions described on the company's site: automated data collection across a company's value chain with AI support; compliance, including generation of audit-ready reports for multiple disclosure frameworks, reuse of data across frameworks and team collaboration; and analysis, using dashboards for decision-making, target-setting and decarbonization tracking. Marketed capabilities include support for both standard and custom reporting frameworks, enterprise integrations, unlimited users and permissions, data governance controls, a cloud-based architecture, and GDPR and SOC 2 Type II compliance.

Business model

Tracera sells a cloud-based enterprise software platform for sustainability and ESG data management, positioned around enterprise-grade operations with features such as unlimited users and permissions, enterprise integrations and data governance controls.
