Overview
Greenstone is a sustainability and ESG data-management and reporting platform originally founded in 2006 in London as a carbon-accounting software business. It was acquired by Cority, a Toronto-based environmental-health-and-safety (EHS) software provider majority-owned by Thoma Bravo, in May 2023, and its capabilities have since been folded into Cority's Sustainability Cloud, part of the unified CorityOne platform.
The platform is built around guided data-collection workflows, configurable questionnaires and a maintained library of emission factors and reporting frameworks, used to calculate Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse-gas emissions and to produce disclosures aligned to frameworks including CDP, GRI, SASB and TCFD. Distinct modules historically covered corporate sustainability performance management, supply-chain/Scope 3 supplier engagement (formerly branded SupplierPortal), and ESG data collection across investment portfolios for private-equity and asset-management firms (formerly branded InvestorPortal).
At the time of the Cority acquisition, Greenstone had roughly 51 employees and served over 75 customers across 106 countries and 15 industries, with offices in London and New York. Customers are being migrated onto Cority's CorityOne platform, which combines Greenstone's ESG/sustainability data model with Cority's existing EHS software into a single system.
