Sweep: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Sweep is a sustainability data platform that lets organisations centralise carbon and ESG data across their value chain. It offers solutions for carbon management, supplier emissions, sustainability reporting and decarbonisation strategy. Data is uploaded once and reused across several reporting frameworks, including CSRD, ISSB, UK SRS, CDP and California SB 253; GRI, the GHG Protocol, PCAF, SFDR and SASB are also listed. The Sweepy AI assistant handles plain-language requests such as mapping purchase data, answering questionnaires and drafting disclosures. Sweep is delivered as software and is not open source.

Sweep was founded in 2020 and has offices in Paris and London, plus a US office in Denver opened in 2025. Its founders are Rachel Delacour, Yannick Chaze and Raphael Güller. The company is a B Corp and a French Entreprise à Mission. Public information does not name a hosting location for customer data, so ask for the hosting region and the list of processors.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Sweep

Sweep is headquartered in FR 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 Sweep scores best on data residency.

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