Zoho Expense can play a valuable role in helping organizations capture and report CO₂ emissions, especially for business travel and related expenses. One of the most effective ways to do this is by integrating the Lune CO₂ Calculator extension with Zoho Expense. This integration allows you to automatically calculate the carbon emissions associated with trips, expenses, and reports. The CO₂ emission data is logged for each trip itinerary, and you can analyse this information through custom modules and graphs.


By tracking travel and expense data, Zoho Expense enables businesses to monitor their environmental impact and support sustainability goals. This is particularly useful for organisations aiming to meet Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards, as it helps capture, record, and report non-financial risks and opportunities, including carbon emissions.


With these insights, companies can make more informed decisions about reducing their carbon footprint, such as optimizing travel policies or choosing greener transportation options.

In summary, using Zoho Expense—especially with the Lune CO₂ Calculator extension—empowers businesses to:

  • Automatically calculate and log CO₂ emissions for business travel and expenses.
  • Generate reports and visualizations to analyze carbon data.
  • Support ESG and sustainability initiatives by providing actionable insights into travel-related emissions.
