FAQs
Can you help us with Corporate GHG accounting and reporting?
I don’t have enough data to get started. How do you fill in data gaps?
We use a combination of our industry knowledge and LLMs (Gen AI) to fill gaps in your data during impact calculation. Each gap is highlighted on the platform for full transparency along with the rationale behind picking the proxy value for filling that gap.
You always have full control to fill these gaps with more primary data collected from your suppliers over time.
My data is unstructured and lives across several spreadsheets. Can you help?
Absolutely! We help you save weeks of effort in filling out data templates by ingesting your spreadsheets and documents the way they are. We’ll map them to our platform’s taxonomy using our AI data mapping module. Each data mapping rule is surfaced on the platform to provide full transparency and audit readiness.
Why do you leverage Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) for Scope 3 accounting?
Using Product Carbon Footprints has several benefits:
- Product-specific emission accounting is the most accurate and comprehensive way to measure Scope 3 emissions. Industry-wide efforts acknowledging the same are currently underway such as the Pathfinder framework from WBCSD.
Avoids the use of spend-based calculation or pure purchase-volume based allocation of supplier emissions which leads to over or under-counting of emissions.
Helps brands prepare for upcoming regulations around measuring and disclosing product-specific emissions such as the decree to disclose climate impact information on apparel products in France.
Helps identify product-specific impact hotspots that can be used to eco-design products by swapping materials, processes, adoption of renewable energy and recycled materials.
What measurement methodology do you use?
Our carbon accounting methodology is aligned with the GHG protocol.
Our product footprint methodology is aligned with the PEFCR for Apparel & Footwear and the ISO 14067 standard. To ensure the robustness of our LCA engine, we have had an independent 3rd party verify both our methodology and software.
Can you incorporate primary supply chain data in Product Carbon Footprints and Scope 3?
Yes, we can!
Incorporating primary supply chain data is critical for accurate Scope 3 accounting and measuring the impact of any implemented reduction initiatives.
We can ingest any primary supply chain activity or emission data you're collecting through other software tools or spreadsheets.
Can you help collect primary supply chain data too?
Yes, Carbon Trail also facilitates data exchange with your supplier’s facilities. Suppliers get access to their own instance of the platform where they can upload and share facility data on a regular basis.
Carbon Trail enables supplier engagement on its platform allowing sustainability teams to assign tasks, review supplier progress, and validate supplier facility data. We leverage AI to detect anomalies in supplier facility data and help teams collaborate with suppliers to get more accurate data.
How is your solution better than generic carbon accounting software?
Generic carbon accounting tools lack the fashion-specific depth needed to solve Scope 3 accurately:
- They don’t integrate and accurately allocate primary activity or emission data from facilities leading to overcounting or undercounting of emissions.
- They use product or fabric-level industry-average emission factors which don't account for variables such as yarn size, recycled materials, spinning/knitting methods, etc.
- They don’t provide product-specific emission insights that leave you exposed to product compliance risk.
Without a foundation on accurate Scope 3 numbers, you won't realize the impact of any improvements made in your value chain.
