G3MS Lite
The Low-Cost Solution to Small Business Carbon Management
G3MS Lite is a subset of the functionality of Carbon Planet’s G3MS software, which was developed for larger organisations with legislative reporting requirements.
G3MS LIte has been specifically designed to measure and report the carbon emissions of a small business, but, while simplified for small business, the sophistication of data processing and calculation is the same.
However, G3MS Lite is much more than a simple carbon calculator – it is an inexpensive and user-friendly solution featuring powerful and comprehensive emissions data collection, calculation and reporting tools.

Purpose built for small businesses
Many small businesses still use complex spreadsheets that are both time consuming and inflexible. Time is one thing a small business rarely has. Others use free, but basic, online calculators that do not provide an accurate account of your emissions and do not keep your historical data.
G3MS Lite was specifically designed for small business and whilst it is far more comprehensive and accurate than the free web calculators and less time consuming than a spreadsheet, it is equally, if not more, easy to use.
G3MS Lite is limited to small businesses with a carbon footprint of less than 150 tonnes of CO2e*. What does that mean? Here are some estimates:
| Typical Business | Full Time Employees | G3MS Lite? |
|---|---|---|
| Tradesman (e.g. plumber) | Up to 5 | Yes |
| Office-based services (e.g. accountant) | Up to 15 | Yes |
| Retail store (e.g. clothes store) | Up to 10 | Yes |
G3MS Lite is carbon accounting
Like many standard financial accounting packages, which have been designed to make your business life easier, G3MS Lite offers an intuitive web-based software alternative to time-consuming and inflexible spreadsheets and is even easier to use than many small business accounting packages. In fact, you can even ask your bookkeeper or accountant to use it on your behalf.
G3MS Lite represents excellent value
Believe it or not, G3MS Lite is only $99 (inc GST) per license. That means for $99 you can measure your annual carbon emissions. No need to spend thousands of dollars on expensive software or rely on clumsy spreadsheets or simplistic web calculators — for the first time G3MS Lite makes carbon accounting accessible to small business.
Your pathway to carbon neutrality
G3MS Lite allows you to upload and store supporting documents conveniently in one place in case you need to have your report independently verified. The reason for wanting verification could be as part of an audit or to comply with the new National Carbon Offset Standard (NCOS) which will offer a Government approved pathway to becoming Carbon Neutral.
