Your work is decarb strategy, scope-2 accounting, reporting frameworks, sustainability roadmaps. Your clients also need procurement, contract management, savings verification, customer-ready data. We bring the energy infrastructure so your advisory stays focused on what your clients hired you for.
Sustainability advisory grew up next to energy procurement but never quite merged with it. The result: strategy advice you can defend, with execution data you can't always trust. Here's the shape, honestly described.
Your scope-2 calculation is only as good as the procurement data behind it — and the procurement data lives in spreadsheets your client sends you the day before the report is due.
Clients ask "what do we actually do about scope 2?" and you have the strategy, but execution requires capabilities you don't have on staff — supply procurement, REC sourcing, on-site generation analysis.
GRI, SASB, TCFD, CDP, SBTi — every framework wants the same data shaped differently, and you're rebuilding the same spreadsheets every quarter.
Your reports are PDFs. Your clients want dashboards. The gap between what you deliver and what they expect is widening, and you don't have the engineers to close it.
You'd offer energy procurement as a service if you could do it without becoming an energy company. So far you can't — so you refer it out and watch the customer go ask the procurement consultant for sustainability advice next quarter.
Each capability fills a specific gap between your advisory work and the energy data and execution it depends on. You stay focused on strategy; the energy layer runs underneath.
Beacon stores client contract and consumption data in structured form. Custom integrations pull from utility data sources, REC registries, and supply contracts directly — so scope-2 inputs are auditable, time-stamped, and ready when your reporting cycle hits. No more day-before-due spreadsheet chases.
When the strategy is "buy more clean supply" or "RECs to bridge the gap," Switchboard runs the procurement workflow and Linework handles the contracting. Briefings keep you current on supply market dynamics so your strategy advice stays grounded in what's actually achievable this quarter.
Custom builds transform your structured client data into framework-specific outputs — GRI tables, SASB metrics, TCFD disclosures, CDP responses, SBTi targets. You author the data once; the frameworks all draw from the same source. Quarterly reporting becomes generation, not reconstruction.
Beacon as a client-facing portal branded to your firm. Progress against decarb targets, scope-2 trajectories, REC inventory, supply mix — visible to your client in real time instead of waiting for the next quarterly deck. The relationship deepens through visibility.
The Suite white-labeled gives you procurement capability without procurement headcount. The customer sees your firm running the procurement; we run the infrastructure underneath. ADV-01 helps you scope the service line launch. You add a margin stream without adding an operational footprint.
Sustainability practices typically start with the intelligence layer — energy market context to make scope-2 advice better — then layer in operational capability as the offering expands.
The boundary works because Gridient isn't trying to be a sustainability advisor. We're the energy infrastructure layer underneath. Three commitments make the boundary real.
Gridient doesn't offer scope-1/2/3 strategy, decarb roadmaps, ESG reporting, or any of the advisory work your firm sells. The boundary is real because the practice is real — we're an energy infrastructure company, not a sustainability firm in disguise.
No sponsored placements. No revenue from suppliers, REC vendors, or program implementers. Procurement decisions surfaced by the Suite are clean — your scope-2 strategy stays defensible because the data underneath isn't biased by who paid us.
Every screen in the Suite traces back to a real operational year of energy procurement. We know what scope-2 data needs to look like because we ran the procurement that produced it. The strategy you advise sits on infrastructure built by operators.
Tell us about your practice — what frameworks you report against, what your clients are asking for that you can't deliver, what energy work you're currently referring out. We'll tell you which loadout fits.
