The Architecture of Impact

One Platform.
Total Clarity.

alkatera replaces the spreadsheet chaos, the consultancy invoices, and the reporting headaches with a single intelligent platform. We go far beyond carbon, measuring water, waste, land use, biodiversity, and circularity, so you can build a sustainability programme that's genuinely defensible.

Six modules. Each works independently or together, giving you the flexibility to build your sustainability programme at your own pace. Start where it matters most.

01 · Corporate Footprinting

Full Operational Clarity

One dashboard for your entire business. Automate the tracking of your Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions alongside water and waste, with a holistic, audit-ready view from the office to the production floor.

Scope 1, 2 & 3 · Facilities · Fleet · Water & Waste · Production Data

02 · Product Environmental Impact

Liquid & Packaging Intelligence

Map the environmental footprint of every SKU you produce. Run 'what-if' scenarios to instantly see how a glass-weight change or a new recipe affects your total ecological score.

SKU-Level LCA · What-If Scenarios · Recipe Modelling · Packaging Optimisation

03 · Compliance & Reporting

The Regulatory Shield

Say goodbye to regulatory anxiety. Whether you're facing CSRD, the Green Claims Directive, or B Corp certification, generate the verifiable reports you need to stay safe and prove your resilience.

CSRD · GRI · CDP · B Corp · ISO 14001 · SBTi

04 · Upstream Visibility

Supply Chain Clarity

See beyond your own walls. Bridge the data gap by gathering real insights from growers on farming practices and water use. Track your ingredients from the field to the bottle with total confidence.

05 · Greenwashing Risk Defence

Greenwash Guardian

Every public claim scanned against UK and EU green claims law before the regulators see it, with a risk score for each. The full defence system is below.

Vitality Score

Your sustainability health check at a glance. A four-pillar score across Climate, Water, Circularity, and Nature, benchmarked against your industry so you know exactly where you stand and where to focus.

Frequently asked questions

What is alkatera?

alkatera is a sustainability platform built specifically for drinks brands: breweries, distilleries, wineries, and soft drink makers. It measures the impact of what you produce right down to the impact per unit (per bottle, can, or serving), then helps you report it credibly and bring it down. Rather than a single company-wide carbon number, you see the full story of a product, from growing the ingredients all the way through to the empty container being recycled or thrown away.
