Floodlight vs EcoAct
Climate change consultancy (an Atos company) offering carbon accounting, decarbonisation advisory, and a site-level physical climate risk tool (ECLR) aligned to TCFD and the EU Taxonomy.
Satellite-verified emissions data
Emissions figures derived from independent atmospheric satellite observations, not reported disclosures or emissions factors.
EcoAct is activity-data and consultant-led; no satellite measurement layer.
Asset-level monitoring
Emissions and risk scores tied to individual facilities, buildings, or assets - not rolled-up sector or company averages.
Independent third-party verification
Data produced without reliance on issuer self-disclosure; independently reproducible and auditable by third parties.
Continuous / near-real-time monitoring
Emissions tracked on an ongoing basis with alerts for anomalies; not a once-a-year snapshot.
Global asset coverage (190+ countries)
Coverage of industrial and commercial assets worldwide, not limited to North America or Western Europe.
Scope 1 direct emissions
Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources including combustion, process emissions, and fugitive releases.
Scope 2 market and location-based
Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, steam, and cooling - both market-based and location-based methods.
Scope 3 / PCAF financed emissions
Financed emissions across lending and investment portfolios aligned with PCAF data quality scores 1-3.
Methane and fugitive emissions detection
Detection of methane leaks, venting, and flaring events often missed by factor-based inventories.
Physical climate risk assessment
Asset-level exposure scores for flood, heat stress, wildfire, sea-level rise, water stress, hurricane, and other perils.
EcoAct's ECLR is a multi-hazard site-screening tool, not a Climate VaR engine.
Transition risk assessment
Exposure to regulatory carbon costs, stranded-asset risk, and technology disruption under decarbonisation scenarios.
Climate Value-at-Risk (Climate VaR)
Probabilistic financial loss estimate under named climate scenarios, in the same units as market and credit VaR.
CSRD / ESRS E1 compliance
Data mapped to CSRD ESRS E1 data-point IDs including E1-5, E1-6, and E1-9 financial-effects table.
EcoAct has strong TCFD/EU Taxonomy alignment and advisory support for disclosure.
Full audit trail and data provenance
Every figure traceable to satellite overpass, model version, and confidence band - reproducible by external reviewers.
REST API access
Programmatic access to all data via documented REST API with pre-trade and portfolio query modes.
Honest verdict
Where Floodlight wins
EcoAct's emissions figures rely on activity data and emissions factors gathered through consultant-led engagements, not independent measurement, and its physical-risk tool is a screening layer rather than a Climate VaR engine. Floodlight measures Scope 1 emissions directly from satellite observations and produces asset-level Climate VaR for physical and transition risk in one platform, without requiring an ongoing consulting engagement to keep the data current.
Where EcoAct wins
EcoAct combines deep advisory expertise with software, which suits organisations that want hands-on support building a decarbonisation strategy or navigating disclosure requirements rather than a pure data platform. Its ECLR tool's multi-hazard site screening (floods, heatwaves, salinization, ocean acidification) mapped to TCFD and the EU Taxonomy is a mature, well-documented offering for sustainability teams that value consultancy-backed guidance alongside the tooling.
