At Carbon Trail, we spend a lot of time talking to sustainability teams, product managers, and compliance officers. And recently, we’ve been hearing some recurring themes:
“I’m not sure if this product is AGEC-compliant.”
“We’d love to show ROI on sustainability initiatives, but we don’t have the cost data.”
“CDP reporting is a nightmare of spreadsheets.”
This month, we focused on turning those pain points into product features — and we’re excited to share three big updates we launched to make sustainability compliance, costing, and reporting easier, smarter, and (dare we say) more enjoyable.
🔖 AGEC Digital Product Passports — Now in French 🇫🇷
If you’re working toward compliance with the French AGEC law, you’ll love this.
Our platform now helps you track and resolve missing compliance information — such as:
-
Hazardous substance presence
-
Recyclability and recycled content
-
Traceability
-
Packaging material details
Once completed, you can instantly generate a Digital Product Passport for any product. It includes detailed metadata, material composition, microfibre info, and packaging breakdown — including recyclability and recycled content.
And now, with support for French language, your passports are ready to meet local regulatory expectations.
This makes it easier than ever to stay compliant, share passports with partners, and demonstrate environmental transparency.
⚡ Auto Cost Calculations for Initiatives
Cost data can make or break climate action plans. But gathering that data? Not always straightforward.
That’s why we’ve added support for automatically estimating costs for select sustainability initiatives — like switching a portion of your electricity to solar.
This is a powerful way to make a business case for your initiatives — even when cost data isn’t available upfront.
📋 CDP Reporting Made Simple
CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) questionnaires can be overwhelming, especially with the mix of structured, tabular, and narrative responses they require.
We’ve added first-class support for CDP assessments inside Carbon Trail:
-
Fill in table-based information directly in the platform
-
Add rich text to explain your methodology (with formatting!)
-
Disable non-applicable questions
-
Track progress across modules, all in one place
This turns CDP disclosure from a painful manual process into a streamlined, collaborative workflow — built for clarity and scale.
Whether you’re focused on compliance, carbon reduction, or communicating your sustainability efforts — we’re building Carbon Trail to help you move faster and with confidence.
