How to choose a Persefoni implementation partner

Persefoni programmes break into four workstreams. Boundary and methodology, where the partner sets the organisational and operational boundary under the GHG Protocol, defines the consolidation approach (operational, financial, or equity share), maps the Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 categories applicable to the organisation, and selects the emission factor libraries (DEFRA, EPA, IEA, EXIOBASE) by region. Data ingestion and integration, where the partner integrates activity data from ERP (SAP, Oracle, Workday), procurement (Coupa, Ariba), fleet and facilities, travel and expense (Concur, SAP), and energy and utility billing, designs the spend-based to activity-based Scope 3 upgrade path, and stands up the supplier engagement workflow for primary data. Calculation and assurance, where the partner configures the calculation methodology by category, builds the audit trail for limited and reasonable assurance under ISAE 3000 and ISAE 3410, reconciles emissions to financial accounts, and stands up the controls model aligned with the SOX-style governance that CSRD and SEC climate require. Disclosure and reporting, where the partner maps Persefoni outputs to CSRD ESRS E1, SEC climate disclosures, CDP, TCFD, ISSB IFRS S2, and the SBTi target-setting workflow.

Three procurement archetypes recur. Big Four sustainability practices (PwC, EY, Deloitte, KPMG) lead at organisations preparing for CSRD limited or reasonable assurance, SEC climate filings, or material climate-related disclosures, where the audit firm relationship and the assurance methodology drive the engagement. Climate consulting boutiques (Anthesis, South Pole, ERA, Ramboll, Ricardo) lead on the deep methodology work for Scope 3, the supplier engagement and primary data collection, and decarbonisation strategy alongside reporting. India-heritage SIs (TCS, Infosys, Wipro) lead at organisations where the ERP integration, multi-region data ingestion, and managed run for global subsidiaries matter more than methodology depth. Friction point: Persefoni pricing scales with revenue band and supplier count, and the platform value depends heavily on data quality upstream. Organisations with poor procurement category coding, inconsistent fleet records, or fragmented travel systems should expect the data-foundation workstream to take 3-6 months before useful disclosure is possible, and assurance readiness adds another 6-12 months on top of the platform rollout.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Persefoni implementation cost?
A Scope 1 and Scope 2 baseline with limited Scope 3 categories typically runs $90k-$280k across 3-5 months. A full Scope 3 inventory with supplier engagement and audit-ready controls runs $280k-$900k across 6-12 months. Assurance-grade programmes with multi-region ERP integration and CSRD or SEC reporting run $900k-$2.5m across 9-18 months. Persefoni platform fees scale with revenue band and supplier count.
Persefoni or Watershed?
Persefoni leads on assurance-grade audit trails, ISAE alignment, and disclosure mapping for CSRD, SEC climate, and ISSB. Watershed leads on supplier engagement, decarbonisation programme management, and product-level emissions. Many enterprises evaluate both; the choice often comes down to whether the audit firm relationship or the decarbonisation programme is the primary driver.
What does CSRD assurance actually require?
CSRD requires limited assurance from 2025 reporting and is expected to move to reasonable assurance later. Limited assurance needs a documented methodology, source-system traceability, control evidence, and a defensible emission factor selection. Reasonable assurance demands SOX-style controls, segregation of duties, and reperformance evidence. Partners typically prepare for limited first, then upgrade.
How do we approach Scope 3 category 1 (purchased goods and services)?
Most organisations start with a spend-based method using EXIOBASE or similar input-output factors and a procurement category mapping. The partner then runs a supplier engagement programme to upgrade material categories to activity-based or supplier-specific data, prioritising suppliers by emissions contribution. Achieving 50-70 percent activity-based coverage typically takes 18-36 months.
How long does an enterprise Persefoni rollout take?
Time to first reportable inventory runs 3-6 months for Scope 1 and 2 only, 6-12 months including initial Scope 3, and 12-24 months to reach assurance-ready maturity across all material Scope 3 categories. Organisations preparing for CSRD limited assurance should start at least 12 months before the first reporting cycle to allow for control design and audit dry-run.
