Clear, Trusted Climate Reporting for California SB 253

Streamline California Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act compliance with hybrid intelligence. Combine automated Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions data mapping with real-time validation on a single platform while protecting sensitive operational data.

  • Hybrid IntelligenceIntelligent initial Scope 1, 2, and 3 tag mapping paired with human-in-the-loop validation and control.
  • CARB AlignmentNative integration of California reporting standards and digital greenhouse gas disclosure taxonomies.
  • Enterprise SafeguardsBuilt on isolated enterprise cloud infrastructure, your pre-submission emissions data is never used to train public models.

The Landscape

California SB 253 Climate Disclosure with Accuracy and Trust

Bring greater structure, transparency, and control to California climate reporting. Our intelligence layer helps teams organize emissions data, maintain clear data lineage, and prepare disclosures that are easier to review, validate, and trust.

What is SB-253?
California’s SB 253 requires qualifying companies doing business in California with annual revenue above $1 billion to publicly disclose their greenhouse gas emissions. The first reporting deadline is August 10, 2026, covering Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, with Scope 3 reporting following in 2027.
XBRL Infrastructure
XBRL US developed the State GHG Emissions (SGHG) Taxonomy as a California-specific entry point to the ISSB Taxonomy for SB-253 reporting. While not yet mandatory, XBRL format is strongly recommended and expected to become standard as the regulation matures. Early adopters will gain a significant advantage as digital, machine-readable reporting becomes the norm.
Who is Affected?
Thousands of U.S.-based companies doing business in California with revenue exceeding $1 billion will need to report. The first submissions for Scope 1 and 2 emissions are due in 2026, based on prior fiscal year data.

  2. 02

    ISSB Alignment Built on the ISSB Taxonomy foundation, reducing reporting burden for companies subject to multiple regulatory requirements globally.

  3. 03

    Automated Data Structuring Transform unstructured emissions data into machine-readable XBRL format, eliminating manual tagging work that takes days.

  4. 04

    Quality Assurance Layer Human-in-the-loop review ensures business context and accuracy while maintaining the efficiency gains from automation.

  5. 05

    Platform Integration Plug and play architecture helps platforms and consultancies extend their capabilities without requiring you to build XBRL infrastructure in-house.

Security & Data Protection

Enterprise Protection for Confidential Sustainability Data

Pre-submission SB-253 climate disclosures contain sensitive operational, procurement, and supply chain data. We enforce strict enterprise safeguards at every layer of the reporting lifecycle.

  • Safe Guards

    Your confidential SB-253 disclosures are isolated from public model training and are not used to train third-party or public large language models.

  • Encrypted Cloud Infrastructure

    Data processing takes place within encrypted enterprise cloud infrastructure with tenant separation.

  • Complete Audit Traceability

    Comprehensive logging records every automated tag suggestion, user override, and validation approval for total transparency during assurance reviews.

Our Approach

Structured Climate Reporting You Can Trust

  • 01

    Automated Extraction

    Our intelligence layer identifies key emissions data across sustainability reports and source documents, including Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, baseline years, methodologies, and supporting metrics.

  • 02

    XBRL Structuring

    Extracted data is organized into a consistent reporting structure, helping teams connect climate information across sources, maintain clear data lineage, and prepare disclosures for review and reporting.

  • 03

    Human Review

    Human-in-the-loop review keeps your team in control of final decisions. Reviewers can validate data, resolve inconsistencies, and preserve the context and evidence behind every reported value.

Proven expertise meeting regulatory requirements efficiently

  1. 01

    Built for Accuracy

    Intelligent extraction and validation help teams identify inconsistencies earlier and maintain greater confidence in reported climate data.

  2. 02

    Human in the Loop

    Automation accelerates the work while your team stays in control. Review, validate, and approve important reporting decisions before disclosure.

  3. 03

    Clear Data Lineage

    Keep a traceable path from source documents to reported emissions, making climate data easier to review, explain, and support.

  4. 04

    Ready for Review

    Maintain supporting data, methodologies, changes, and review history in one place, creating a clearer record behind every disclosure.

  5. 05

    Connected by Design

    Bring emissions data together across systems, teams, and reporting frameworks to improve consistency and reduce disconnected reporting processes.

  6. 06

    Enterprise Security

    Sensitive reporting data stays protected within isolated enterprise infrastructure and is never used to train public models.

Build Trust Into Your SB 253 Reporting

Bring greater accuracy, traceability, and control to your climate disclosures. Our intelligence layer helps teams organize emissions data, validate reporting inputs, and prepare disclosures with greater confidence.
