Traditional methods to reduce emissions are labour intensive and require extensive time to develop insights for reporting requirements and hence there is a need of a holistic solution. End to End Processing   CBAM Report Easy Supplier Integration     Capabilities As climate change drives pressure from customers, shareholders, and regulations alike, achieving net-zero goals has never been more important for enterprises of all sizes.

Calculate product carbon footprints across your company to uncover both carbon and cost savings. Supply Chain Emissions Companies need more than emissions reports that just state the numbers – what they need now is actionable insights to manage and reduce supply chain emissions. This carbon management is essential to deliver on net-zero targets and meaningful sustainability strategies. Supplier Engagement Effortlessly track and manage primary emission data from all suppliers in one platform.

Due to its highest level of data granularity and accuracy, we can gain actionable insights and confidently navigate our carbon reduction strategies to make a positive impact on the environment.” “For the first time, we were able to create complete transparency on our Scope 3 emissions for the data we integrated from our ERP system into carbmee and identified our highest emitting suppliers. This allowed us to prioritize collaboration with our suppliers in order to achieve greater precision and ultimately identify meaningful reduction potential together.” “We used to calculate Scope 3 with external partners, which was costly and not optimized to reflect changes in our procurement decisions. With the EIS™, we will have full visibility of our Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions in one place and can easily adjust the calculations as changes occur in the value chain, allowing us to make confident decisions about carbon reduction in the future.” Philipp Russ Head of Research and Development, Ravensburger Peter Hagenow Head of Strategic Group Procurement, KWS Andreas Steenbock Product Manager Digital Paper, Steinbeis Papier   Selected Customers
