Give your customers a climate score on every company
One free API call returns the DitchCarbon Score, industry rank and climate commitments for any company your platform holds.
What the API returns
Your customers are asking for sustainability insight inside the tools they use every day, and building a climate dataset is not your product. The Company Climate Profile API is the light way to deliver on that demand. It answers three questions about any organisation in one response: who it is, how it scores, and what it has committed to. Give it a company name, website or identifier and the entity is resolved and profiled live, so a supplier or counterparty nobody has looked up before gets the same record as one that has been on the platform for years. DitchCarbon provides verified emissions data for over 2 million organisations, built on primary emissions data wherever it exists, so procurement, sustainability and finance teams can measure and act on supply chain and portfolio emissions from one source. The profile API carries the summary layer of that record into your product.
Emissions figures, scope breakdowns, source documents, targets and history are not part of this API. They are available through the full DitchCarbon API, which is licensed separately and needs a platform account. The profile API is free under the terms below; the full API is billed on a different model.

How do I get access?
Post the identifiers you hold for a company, and get the organisation's climate profile back as JSON. Any company can be requested: where a record already exists it is returned at once, and where it does not, the entity is resolved and profiled, usually within 24 hours, with the record's status updating as it is processed. The response is small by design, so it maps to a handful of fields on your supplier or counterparty object without transformation.
The response carries the matched organisation, the DitchCarbon Score with its industry percentile, industry rank, regional rank and industry mean, and fourteen commitment flags. Identify an organisation by name, website, duns_number, lei_number, isin_number or sp_global_number, and pass your own external_id so the record maps straight back to yours. Where the request resolves to a subsidiary or a parent, organization_relationship_type says so, and matching_organization names the record the answer belongs to, so your customers never see a silent mismatch.
Request an API key and authenticate with a standard Bearer token. One key covers the Company Climate Profile API and the free SBTi API, and the same key works across the rest of the DitchCarbon API if your customers go on to license it.
What does free cover?
The Company Climate Profile API is free for many use cases, including embedding the score and commitment flags in a commercial software product for your customers to see and act on. Two conditions apply wherever the data is displayed.

Wherever a score or a commitment flag from this API appears in your product, the DitchCarbon logo appears with it. Logo files and placement guidance are available on request.
Each displayed score links to the organisation's public profile on ditchcarbon.com, using the matching organization.link field in the response. The profile is where your customer can see what the score rests on, so the attribution does a job for them as well as for us.
Bulk collection, resale or redistribution of the data as a dataset, and use inside a competing emissions data product, are outside the free terms and need a licence. Request volumes above the free allowance also move to a licensed plan.

Procurement and spend management.
A climate score and commitment flags on every supplier record and in every sourcing event, so category managers see climate standing next to price and lead time when the decision is being made.
Supplier onboarding and third-party risk.
A score and fourteen flags at the point a supplier is onboarded or reviewed, with any company resolvable on request, so the sustainability check happens in the same flow as the financial and compliance checks.
Finance, treasury and portfolio systems.
A climate profile for every counterparty in a portfolio or ledger view, private companies included, as the first pass before the full emissions record is licensed for the lines that need it.
