Case Study: Pleo builds scalable, transparent carbon accounting with Persefoni

How Pleo leverages Persefoni to future-proof climate reporting and regulatory readiness

Pleo, a Copenhagen-based spend management company serving nearly 40,000 businesses, wanted to build a scalable sustainability foundation as it grew rapidly. The company needed to create its first carbon footprint, organize scattered data across departments and systems, and stay ahead of regulations like the EU’s CSRD while keeping the workload manageable for a lean team.

Pleo partnered with Persefoni in 2024 and used its carbon accounting platform to calculate Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and produce its first-ever carbon footprint report for 2024. Persefoni provided spend-based emissions estimates, audit-ready traceability, and hands-on support, helping streamline data collection and collaboration across teams. The result was a reliable baseline for climate reporting, stronger decision-making, and a foundation for future regulatory readiness and decarbonization efforts.
