CSRD reporting software
for apparel and footwear

Carbonfact integrates both primary and secondary data. The platform starts with secondary data for initial assessments but progressively incorporates primary data from the brands as it becomes available. This allows the system to refine its accuracy and reduce uncertainty over time​​.

Yes, Carbonfact’s CSRD ESRS reporting has been implemented on a technical foundation that ensures that the GHG emissions numbers generated can be directly used in the ESRS report under the application of the relevant format and units generating the report without requiring additional calculations. This means that Carbonfact can directly output data in the format and units required by the ESRS that are fully compatible with ESRS specifications covering environment-related disclosures. For instance, outputs must detail emissions by type (CO2, CH4, N2O, etc.), source (e.g., stationary combustion, purchased electricity), and scope (1, 2, and 3). Carbonfact breaks down the emissions relevant to various organizational/business activities as specified in ESRS, ensuring no need for additional recalculations.

Carbonfact’s automatic report generation utilizes pre-defined technical templates that align with ESRS reporting frameworks. This method ensures that inputted data on the platform is directly transferred into the official report sections and format. Furthermore, the platform offers downloadable and exportable formats that match the ESRS layout.  Sector-Specific Customization: Carbonfact exclusively caters to the apparel, textile, and footwear industries. The platform is designed from the ground up to allow customization of data inputs and emission factors to reflect industry-specific realities, which is critical for accurate ESRS reporting. Carbonfact incorporates features for dynamic updates to emission factors and methodologies per the latest ESRS guidelines.

• Carbonfact meticulously aligns our data module with the specific standards and guidelines outlined in the ESRS. This involves a precise mapping of the Carbonfact platform's data outputs to the specific indicators and data points required under ESRS E1, which focuses on climate change-related disclosures.
• Carbonfact has taken a proactive approach to ensure that updates and configurations of the platform can be re-iterated should there be a necessity to align with any updates in the ESRS requirements. This ensures the reliability and up-to-dateness of our tool.

Yes, Carbonfact has implemented robust data verification processes within our data module to ensure accuracy in data inputs and respective footprint calculations. This includes using validated data sources, employing industry-standard calculation methodologies (such as those recommended by the GHG Protocol), and ensuring data traceability. Furthermore, the Carbonfact Changelog is an integrated feature (co-developed with PWC) that allows easy audit trails and third-party verification to ensure compliance with ESRS requirements. Carbonfact’s methodology itself is audited by PWC.

The CSRD report has to be part of your official management report, you can simply export it in different formats from Carbonfact and embed it in any other document.

• We follow the Greenhouse Gas Protocol when performing your Carbon Accounting. 
• For Scope 1 and 2 we will need information on facilities and vehicles and information on energy usage, such as utility bills. We will give you a list of data points to collect.

• It also includes Scope 3 emissions. Carbonfact helps you collect the information needed to measure and report energy consumption across your value chain.
• What type of database are you using in your software solution?
• We use the European Union's EF 3.1 database.
