Position Green: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Position Green provides ESG software and advisory services. The platform combines data management, controlling and audit, embedded AI, benchmarking and materiality assessment. It supports carbon management across Scopes 1 to 3, mandatory and voluntary reporting, group reporting and supplier management, and covers frameworks such as ESRS, VSME, the EU taxonomy, SFDR and GRI. It is delivered as a software-as-a-service platform with integrations to other business systems, and advisory services are offered alongside.

Position Green states that it was founded in 2015 and is headquartered in Sweden, with all data hosted and managed within the EU. Its group holding company, Position Green Group Holding AS, is registered in Oslo, Norway. Norvestor, a Nordic private equity firm, has been its majority investor since 2022. The software is proprietary, and no self-hosted option is described. The privacy policy points to a Trust Portal for subprocessor information, which European organisations should review alongside the data processing agreement.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Position Green

Position Green is headquartered in SE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Position Green scores best on data residency.

Position Green 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 Position Green together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
