What Arbor is
Arbor is a carbon accounting platform for companies measuring product, company-asset, and organizational emissions. It calculates product carbon footprints, supports Scope 3 measurement, and can assess company-owned fleets and buildings for Scope 1 and 2. Hotspot analysis points to major contributors among materials, transport, and manufacturing, while prototyping lets users compare materials and design choices before production. Product models can include multiple components with emissions broken down by part. Arbor combines customer primary data with supplemental sources such as trade flows, life-cycle assessment databases, energy grids, transport routes, and region-specific material data. Reports cover product carbon footprints, avoided emissions, Scope 1 and 2, and Scope 1, 2, and 3. The platform is available on the web and through an API, lists a Shopify app, and can integrate with PLM, ERP, and procurement tools. Unlimited is listed at $1,250 a year, billed per month and billed yearly, with three seats, unlimited materials and calculations, and onboarding and email support.
