About Carbmee & Decarbonization

Frequently asked questions and their answers about EIS carbon management solution of carbmee.

Our product can be used by customers interested in measuring and reporting their carbon emissions. However, it goes beyond that. It was designed for reduction – helping customers to make data-driven decisions based on factual information about their value chain emissions and achieve net-zero targets in a cost-efficient way.

Most of our competitors’ platforms use spend-based calculation alone, which isn’t precise enough to include primary, operations data or provide results that can help companies identify actionable hotspots. Our approach is to use both spend-based and activity-based calculations for the most thorough and precise results possible. 

We provide spend-based calculation to set a baseline for Scope 1 and 2 as well as to identify hotspots if needed. At the same time, we guide our users towards collecting and growing their emissions data within the organization and increasing activity-based data coverage. 

We provide activity-based calculation to tackle emissions that can be the most difficult to measure throughout the value chain, i.e. Scope 3. While many competitors avoid using activity-based calculations due to their complexity, carbmee has streamlined the process, to deliver on results that are 30% more accurate and actionable insights for carbon reduction strategies. 

What makes carbmee different from its competitors?

We have developed our own categorization for how we break down all of your company’s emissions, which are:

      Company Carbon Footprint...

calculates CO2e emissions across your entire company, i.e. all suppliers, internal processes and products;

covers all phases of the company, i.e. Scope 1, 2, and 3;

fulfills regulatory and sustainability reporting requirements;

enables identification of strategic reduction opportunities.

Product Carbon Footprint...


enables carbon reduction along the product development process;

commonly required to win tenders, report on progress, and comply with regulations.

Supplier Carbon Footprint...


calculates climate impact across all suppliers;

covers all phases of the supply chain, i.e. Scope;

identifies cross-supplier/category reduction opportunities;

enables collaboration with suppliers for joint carbon reduction.

What kind of carbon footprints do you calculate?

Yes, our solution is system-agnostic and can integrate with any ERP system.

Can we integrate our ERP system data directly into carbmee’s EIS™ platform?

Yes, our solution provides precise information for compliance with major sustainability reporting standards like CDP and GHG Protocol.

Can I use international reporting frameworks?

While Excel is the classic solution for formatting, organizing and calculating data, it is also entirely manual – not at all optimized for the complexity of corporate carbon management. 

Carbmee’s EIS™ Carbon Management Solution automates carbon management, not only making carbon management easier but also delivering on: 

calculations 80-90% faster than with Excel;

the opportunity to collaborate on data collection – streamlining data from multiple sources (e.g. suppliers, various internal teams, etc.);

a variety of features built for reduction like analytics for easy hotspot identification, an initiative planner for planning reduction path and high ROI initiatives, as well as automated reporting.

Why is carbmee better than my company’s internal excel solutions?

We use a variety of databases, including comprehensive activity-based databases such as ecoinvent, as well as industry specific ones such as carbon minds and Exiobase for clients in need of spend-based carbon calculations.

Which database do you use for emission calculations?

Yes, all of our 3rd party database partners provide transparent and auditable data on request.

We have different packages that can be set-up based on customer’s needs and value chain complexity. Talk to one of our decarbonization experts to get a quote for your company.

All answers about carbeem's carbon managemnt software and how we help organisations decarbonize.

Carbmee sits at the nexus of technology, digitization, and sustainability, with the vision of driving the sustainable transformation of businesses with environmental intelligence in order to achieve net-zero by 2050. Carbmee’s Environmental Intelligence System ™ (EIS) is an enterprise software solution for value chain carbon management, specializing in Scope 3 emissions analysis and reduction potential.

Carbmee’s EIS™ Carbon Management Solution is not just a reporting tool or an offsetting platform – our Solution is about integrating operational ERP data to identify where to abate emissions at their source and managing carbon reduction initiatives as effectively as possible. By linking emissions from materials, transactions, logistics, and supplier data to globally recognized standards and methodologies, our Solution calculates carbon footprints down to a supplier-specific level. 

What is carbmee’s EIS™ Carbon Management solution?

We’re trying to make the biggest impact we can and that means working with some of the world’s largest companies, which also have complex supply chains (i.e. companies with significant Scope 3 emissions). We also work directly with suppliers to analyze and verify their carbon footprint.

What kind of companies does carbmee work with?

The climate crisis is intensifying and with it so is the need for companies to comply with regulations, but also to develop more resilient supply chains, lower their climate risk, and continually make their operations more sustainable overall. Our Solution gives companies the chance to not only fulfill their emissions reductions pledges, but to truly operate carbon-aware now and far into the future.

Why should my company decarbonize its value chain?

Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources.
Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions from the generation of purchased energy. 
Scope 3 emissions are all indirect emissions (not included in scope 2) that occur in the value chain of the reporting company, including both upstream and downstream emissions.

How carbmee can support you in meeting Net-Zero goals

 AI matching is now ~10× faster, processing ~2,500 items per minute, so even the largest datasets can have emissions ready within an hour. This significantly reduces time-to-value for big implementations.

After GHG and EUDR, CBAM items now also use the shared master item–model architecture, making CBAM data reusable across use cases and consistent with GHG. This unlocks more connected workflows and sets the foundation for unified imports and reporting.

Custom properties now support predefined option lists, making data more consistent and easier to enter across the platform — with validation to prevent invalid values and duplications

CBAM self-imports now include change logs, import tracking, and full validation, making imports easier to audit, troubleshoot, and trust — with better protection against incomplete or orphaned data.

Item matching now intelligently selects the best existing item by first reusing the right supplier’s data, then favoring items with more advanced collection status, and finally applying a deterministic tie-breaker. This improves reuse of primary data and keeps progress consistent as supplier data evolves.

carbmee EIS™ now features a dedicated AI Match Validation experience, enabling streamlined, audit-ready emission matching at both single-item and bulk scale. With focused list views, confidence scoring, and intelligent recommendations, teams can prioritize high-impact items, validate faster, and ensure data integrity—all without leaving the platform.

Each model now displays AI-matched emitters with confidence scores, emissions impact, and up to 10 alternative matches, empowering smarter, defensible decisions. Bulk validation capabilities let you scale confidently, applying changes across multiple items while maintaining complete traceability.

AI Match Validation – Smarter Matching, Faster Decisions

The carbmee Q4 “Put Your Data to Work” release brings new intelligence to the Carbmee Environmental Intelligence System (EIS™). This update helps sustainability, procurement, and finance teams use their data to drive measurable results.

With new features in forecasting, AI, collaboration, and integration, enterprises can now make faster, more confident decisions that reduce cost, risk, and carbon.

Put Your Data to Work | End of Year 2025 Release

carbmee EIS™ now features automated EUDR risk scoring, giving you immediate visibility into deforestation exposure across your supply chain. Each commodity receives a score from 1 to 10, combining verified geospatial data from the OpenAtlas API with key indicators such as indigenous land claims, governance quality, and regional conflict levels.

This new capability eliminates manual analysis and enables teams to prioritize high-risk suppliers and commodities with confidence. Integrated directly into the Environmental Intelligence System, the model streamlines due diligence, strengthens audit readiness, and empowers more strategic sourcing decisions.

EUDR Risk Scoring – Faster Compliance, Smarter Sourcing

carbmee EIS™ now supports bulk import of transactional GHG supply chain data, streamlining how users bring real-world purchasing data into the platform. With a dynamic template and spreadsheet upload, teams can align directly with ERP or SCM exports—no reformatting required.

The guided import process auto-creates all key entities, including items, suppliers, sites, and GHG models, with MATCH AI enriching each transaction using the most accurate emission factors available. Real-time error notifications ensure clean data on the first try.

Engineered for deployment speed and user autonomy, this feature enables customers to process thousands of records in minutes - unlocking rapid Scope 3 insights with minimal friction.

Transactional GHG Import – Fast-Track Your Emissions Data at Scale

carbmee EIS™ now introduces the "Main" item, your digital twin for supply chain materials, bringing all impact models (GHG, CBAM, EUDR) into one unified structure. This update simplifies data handling, improves clarity, and enhances scalability.

Previous "items" are now renamed as "models" to better reflect their role, with GHG models supporting timeframes and open-ended validity. Variant logic is fully integrated into the new item and model structure for greater flexibility.

New filters, bulk delete options, and improved list views make it easier to manage items and models, enabling faster, more efficient environmental data workflows.

"Main" Item Structure – Smarter, Scalable Data Management

Introducing a new way to manage evolving items over time. Item Variant Grouping links multiple versions under a single shared ID, giving you a clean, organized view of related entries and a clear picture of how footprints change across updates. Use the comparison view to review variants side by side and quickly spot shifts in emissions, data quality, and key attributes. 

An improved approval flow preserves data integrity by letting you update an existing item or create a new variant, automatically archiving prior data to maintain a complete audit trail. The result is simpler portfolio management, faster insight, and a transparent record of each item’s decarbonization journey.

EXIOBASE 3.10 has been updated to EXIOBASE 3.10.1 with the most current spend-based emission factors, built on 2022 economic data and adjusted to 2024 price levels for more reliable modeling. The dataset now reflects inflation-corrected costs, improving the precision of spend-to-emissions calculations across categories.

A new market-average option enhances results when supplier origin is unknown. Instead of guessing a region, calculations can use a weighted average of relevant production locations to better mirror real market mixes. The outcome is clearer baselines, tighter forecasts, and greater confidence in assessments that rely on spend data.

carbmee EIS™ introduces in-platform controls that put you in full control of CBAM data. Create, edit, and delete CBAM items, transactions, and business contacts, including Declarants, Importers, and Distributors, directly in an intuitive interface. Make real-time updates, correct imported records, and remove outdated entries to keep datasets clean and accurate. Managing contacts alongside items and transactions streamlines workflows, reduces reporting errors, and supports confident CBAM compliance.

Streamlined CBAM reporting now supports Distributors and their Downstream Customers with clearer, more collaborative workflows. Report data in the roles of Declarant and Distributor, generate downstream-ready reports by submitting Downstream Transactions, and provide customers the information they need for compliance. 

In Studio, access an end-to-end view of your supply chain footprint, from Upstream Vendors to Downstream Customers, then export and share emissions data with stakeholders for improved transparency. The result is smoother reporting, better visibility, and stronger compliance across the value chain.

Introducing a streamlined way to meet EU Deforestation Regulation requirements. Upload EUDR items and supplier data via a simple template with real-time validation that flags missing fields and formatting issues, then see results immediately in a clean, searchable item list. Sort and filter by key attributes to manage commodities at scale, review supplier details, and keep records audit ready. 

If needed, support teams can import on your behalf to unblock progress. As part of the Digital Twin initiative, EUDR items also appear in the GHG item list to spotlight cross-workflow opportunities, and non-EUDR customers see a teaser in the EUDR tab. The outcome is faster onboarding of EUDR data, better data quality, and more transparent tracking from import to action.

carbmee EIS™ now includes an always-available AI assistant that delivers accurate answers on platform workflows, carbon management concepts, LCA methodologies, and building custom dashboards, right where you work. Open the assistant from the always visible icon on any page and get immediate, step-by-step guidance for your questions. Built for privacy, the assistant is stateless and never accesses your company data, eliminating guesswork, speeding onboarding, and keeping support secure.

A new email notification system now keeps GHG and CBAM data collection moving with minimal manual follow-up. Suppliers receive reminders to submit and verify items, summaries when tasks are complete, and alerts if submissions need changes. Customers are notified as new or verified data arrives, enabling timely review and next steps. Messages reach only relevant, active users and respect tenant and individual email preferences. The result is stronger supplier participation, clearer progress visibility, and reduced operational overhead, helping teams deliver accurate outcomes on schedule.

Introducing a unified table experience that improves speed, consistency, and usability across CBAM items, transactions, and collaborator views. Benefit from a cleaner interface, smarter filtering and search to pinpoint records quickly, and flexible customization with sortable and pinnable columns. Select multiple rows to streamline bulk actions like deletion. Collaborators see only the tabs relevant to their work, keeping focus where it matters. The result is less friction, more clarity, and a smoother way to manage CBAM data at scale.

carbmee EIS™ now maps your supply chain as an interactive, force-directed graph, linking items, suppliers, and sites into a single, navigable view. Hotspot items are visually flagged, nodes scale by relative emissions, and hover tooltips surface totals and key details—so teams can trace dependencies, track emissions at every node, and spot optimization opportunities in seconds.

Designed for speed and impact, the experience is fully responsive with smooth zoom, pan, and drag to reorganize layouts for instant clarity, perfect for demos and stakeholder alignment. By turning complex relationships into an intuitive map, it accelerates insight, supports data-informed decisions, and sets the stage for intelligent, recommendation-driven optimization across your value chain.

carbmee EIS™ now supports passwordless sign-in via a secure one-time login link. Users enter their email on the login page and receive a time-limited link to log in instantly - no password setup, no friction. This reduces missed invites and expired activations, accelerating supplier onboarding and improving first-time experience. Available to all users in a customer environment and compatible with existing password logins; for security, only Invited and Active users can authenticate.

Manage Installations and Declarants directly in the UI for faster, more accurate CBAM administration. Create and edit Installations with key details such as name, country, city, and postal code, and view them in a dedicated Installations section under each supplier for better visibility. A new Sites and Declarants tab provides a structured overview of all Declarants and their roles, with simple add and update actions to keep information current. These updates give sustainability and compliance teams a single, organized workspace, improving data quality, audit readiness, and day-to-day efficiency.
