For over 5 years, Trace has helped businesses measure, report, and reduce their emissions. As mandatory climate disclosure under ASRS and ISSB reshapes what's required of Australian businesses, Trace is the platform finance teams and their auditors turn to when accuracy and audit-readiness matter.

Our Story
When Cat and Jo launched their first business, a leather fashion goods brand in 2016, they learnt first-hand how difficult it was for a small company to measure and reduce its environmental impact. That frustration became the foundation for Trace.Trace launched in 2020, during Sydney's worst bushfire season, with a clear purpose: make emissions measurement accessible for every business. Five years on, the landscape has fundamentally shifted. Mandatory climate disclosure under ASRS S2 and ISSB is now a reality for thousands of Australian entities, and the finance teams and auditors responsible for it need a platform they can trust.
Trace has evolved with that reality. Today, we're a climate disclosure platform built for the rigour that mandatory reporting demands, helping businesses move from emissions measurement to audit-ready disclosure across ASRS S2, AASB S1, and ISSB frameworks. With customers across 11+ countries and a team spanning Australia and the UK, our goal is clear: to become the most loved and trusted climate disclosure platform for businesses and their auditors.
Our values are the core of Trace
Breath of Fresh Air
We are easy to choose, easy to use, easy to work with. Customers love working with us and we love working with each other.
Be Resourceful
Keep it lean, test and learn. Use (or find) data to monitor the impact of your actions. If we believe in it, we find a way to get it done. If not, it’s OK to park it.
Freedom to Fly
We respect each other's differences and preferences, believing in outcomes over output. You are trusted to get your sh*t done, where you want, when you want.
Embrace the Climb
The climate change journey requires hard work and resilience! We face every challenge with positivity and passion, and see it as an opportunity for growth.
Down to Earth
We’re never too big to do the small things that need to be done and comfortable to admit when we don't know something.
