Ecologi: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Ecologi is a climate action platform that helps businesses and individuals measure, reduce and offset their emissions. It funds verified carbon credit and nature restoration projects, and offers emissions measurement and reporting tools for organisations, with an API and integrations for online merchants. The service is delivered as a web platform with sign-up, a help centre and a dedicated point of contact for business customers. The company describes itself as a certified B Corp.

The company is based in the United Kingdom. Public listings give two UK locations, Bristol and a London borough. Because the UK is outside the EU, European organisations should confirm where customer data is stored and which sub-processors are used. The platform is proprietary software and not open source.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Ecologi

Ecologi is headquartered in GB, outside the EU. Contracts and data therefore also fall under non-European law. The GDPR applies through contractual terms, but in a conflict with local legislation you have less certainty than with a European vendor.

Ecologi hosts data outside the EU (OTHER). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

Ecologi is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Ecologi together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
