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?

Organizations that excel at ESG data management don’t just report more—they act faster, reduce costs, and outperform peers. McKinsey reports that companies with strong ESG credentials cut costs by 5–10%, largely through operational efficiency, better resource use, and waste reduction. The key enabler? Deep, accurate data.


Meanwhile, a World Economic Council report shows that over 70% of companies cite data fragmentation as a major barrier to ESG progress. It’s not that the data isn’t there—it’s that businesses can’t consolidate or contextualize it effectively. This is where Custom Properties delivers unmatched strategic value.

By allowing teams to map internal KPIs and external requirements directly into carbmee’s platform, companies gain a unified, coherent data model that grows with them. This not only saves hours—sometimes days—of manual work per reporting cycle but also unlocks cross-functional clarity between sustainability, procurement, finance, and operations.

Why Customization Matters: The Strategic Value of Data

The sustainability reporting landscape is shifting rapidly. The EU’s CSRD and ESRS regulations alone introduce dozens of new mandatory disclosure points. Add to that voluntary frameworks like TCFD, ISSB, or sector-specific guidelines, and suddenly a fixed reporting model simply can’t keep up.

With Custom Properties, carbmee equips your team to respond in real time. Need to add a new field to align with an emerging regulation? Done. Want to track a unique decarbonization metric for internal dashboards? Add it in seconds. The system adapts as your needs evolve.

 Real-Time Flexibility Meets Future-Proof Reporting

Unlock Precision Carbon Modeling: Custom Properties for Every Metric, Every Team, Every Regulation

The evolving landscape of environmental regulations and corporate responsibility is rapidly transforming carbon emissions from an externality into a tangible cost factor. Through mechanisms such as carbon taxes, border carbon adjustment mechanisms (CBAM), and internally implemented carbon pricing strategies, organizations are increasingly facing direct financial implications tied to their greenhouse gas footprint. 

This fundamental shift necessitates a paradigm change in how businesses approach environmental sustainability. It is no longer sufficient to treat emissions as a separate operational concern; rather, organizations must strategically integrate the modeling of their emissions data alongside core financial data. This holistic approach empowers businesses to make risk-aware and cost-efficient decisions, driving both financial success and environmental stewardship. 

By understanding the financial implications of their carbon footprint, companies can proactively mitigate risks, identify opportunities for cost reduction through emissions abatement, and ultimately enhance their long-term resilience and competitiveness in a carbon-constrained world.

To effectively link emissions to financial strategy, organizations must establish clear and measurable metrics that bridge the gap between environmental impact and economic performance. Key metrics to consider include:

A self-imposed cost on carbon emissions generated by an organization's internal operations. This price can be used for internal decision-making, such as evaluating investment opportunities or incentivizing emissions reductions across different departments or business units.

Strategic Significance: Provides a mechanism to internalize the cost of carbon, fostering a culture of emissions awareness and accountability. Enables the evaluation of projects and investments based on their true cost, including their carbon impact. Can drive innovation in low-carbon technologies and processes.

An assessment of the potential financial risks associated with non-compliance with various carbon regulations and reporting requirements in different geographical regions where the organization operates or has value chain activities. This includes analyzing the stringency of regulations, potential penalties, and the likelihood of future regulatory changes.

Strategic Significance: Highlights areas of significant regulatory risk, allowing organizations to prioritize compliance efforts and potentially restructure operations or supply chains to minimize exposure. Informs strategic decisions regarding market entry and expansion based on the carbon regulatory landscape.

The cost associated with reducing a specific amount of greenhouse gas emissions through a particular project, technology, or operational change. This metric is typically expressed as cost per ton of CO2 equivalent reduced ($/tCO2e).

Strategic Significance: Enables a comparative analysis of different emissions reduction opportunities, allowing organizations to prioritize the most cost-effective abatement strategies. Crucial for developing carbon reduction targets and pathways that are economically viable. Supports informed decision-making regarding investments in low-carbon technologies.

A modified return on investment calculation that incorporates the financial impact of carbon emissions (e.g., carbon taxes, avoided compliance costs, internal carbon price). This provides a more comprehensive view of a project's profitability by accounting for its environmental performance.

Strategic Significance: Offers a more accurate assessment of the long-term financial viability of projects and investments, particularly those with significant carbon implications. Can reveal hidden costs or benefits associated with emissions that traditional ROI calculations might overlook. Encourages investment in projects with lower carbon footprints and higher overall value.


Metric: Scope 1, 2, and 3 Emissions Tracking

Comprehensive monitoring and reporting of direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (Scope 1), indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat, or steam (Scope 2), and all other indirect emissions that occur in an organization's value chain (Scope 3).

Strategic Significance: Provides a complete understanding of an organization's carbon footprint, identifying key emission hotspots and areas for targeted reduction efforts. Essential for accurate carbon accounting, reporting to stakeholders, and setting meaningful reduction targets. Forms the foundation for effective carbon pricing strategies.

Defining the Key Metrics for Integrated Carbon-Financial Analysis

Despite the clear strategic importance of integrating carbon pricing with financial strategy, organizations often encounter several hurdles in implementation:

Lack of Integration Between Carbon Pricing and Core Financial Processes: A significant challenge arises when carbon pricing mechanisms are not effectively linked to established financial processes such as procurement decisions, capital expenditure planning, and budgeting cycles. This disconnect can lead to a siloed approach where sustainability initiatives are treated separately from core business operations, limiting their impact and hindering the realization of potential cost savings and risk mitigation.

Difficulty in Accurately Estimating Project ROI with Carbon Factors: Traditional return on investment (ROI) calculations often fail to adequately account for the financial implications of carbon emissions. Estimating the future costs associated with carbon regulations, the potential benefits of emissions reductions (e.g., reduced energy consumption, lower tax liabilities), and the long-term value of investing in low-carbon solutions can be complex and uncertain. This lack of clarity can make it difficult to justify investments in abatement projects or to accurately compare the financial viability of different options.

Absence of Seamless Data Integration Between Financial and Carbon Accounting Systems: Many organizations lack the integrated data infrastructure required to efficiently track, analyze, and report on both financial and carbon-related data in a unified manner. This can lead to manual data reconciliation, increased administrative burden, and a lack of real-time insights into the financial impact of carbon emissions across the value chain. The inability to seamlessly connect these data streams hinders the development of effective carbon pricing strategies and the ability to make data-driven decisions.

Limited Understanding and Buy-in Across Different Departments: Integrating carbon pricing into financial strategy requires collaboration and understanding across various departments, including finance, procurement, operations, and sustainability. However, a lack of awareness or buy-in from key stakeholders can create resistance and impede the implementation process. Finance teams may not fully grasp the materiality of carbon risks, while operational teams may struggle to see the financial benefits of emissions reduction initiatives.

Complexity and Uncertainty of Evolving Carbon Regulations: The global landscape of carbon regulations is constantly evolving, with new policies and reporting requirements emerging at different levels of governance. This complexity and uncertainty can make it challenging for organizations to anticipate future compliance obligations and to accurately assess their long-term carbon-related financial risks. Staying abreast of these changes and translating them into actionable financial insights requires dedicated resources and expertise.

Overcoming Common Implementation Challenges

Effectively integrating carbon considerations into financial decision-making transforms carbon management from a compliance burden into a strategic advantage:

Transforms Carbon into a Tangible Financial Lever: By assigning a financial value to carbon emissions through internal pricing mechanisms or by explicitly accounting for carbon-related costs and revenues in financial analysis, organizations can incentivize emissions reductions and drive more sustainable business practices. This financial lever can influence investment decisions, operational efficiencies, and product development strategies.

Significantly Reduces Compliance Risk and Optimizes Capital Allocation: A deep understanding of carbon regulations and the financial implications of non-compliance allows organizations to proactively manage their regulatory risks. By incorporating carbon costs into financial planning, businesses can make more informed capital allocation decisions, prioritizing investments in projects and technologies that minimize their carbon footprint and reduce future compliance burdens.

Empowers Cost-Effective Emissions Reduction Strategies: By analyzing the abatement costs associated with different emissions reduction opportunities and factoring in the financial benefits (e.g., energy savings, tax incentives, revenue from low-carbon products), organizations can identify and implement the most cost-effective pathways to achieve their emission reduction targets. This data-driven approach ensures that sustainability goals are pursued in a fiscally responsible manner.

Enhances Stakeholder Engagement and Attracts Sustainable Finance: Integrating carbon performance with financial results demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and transparency, which can enhance engagement with investors, customers, employees, and other stakeholders who are increasingly prioritizing environmental considerations. Furthermore, strong carbon management practices can improve access to sustainable finance options, such as green bonds and impact investments.

Fosters Innovation and Creates New Business Opportunities: The focus on reducing carbon emissions can drive innovation in cleaner technologies, more efficient processes, and the development of new low-carbon products and services. By integrating carbon into financial strategy, organizations can identify and capitalize on these emerging business opportunities, creating new revenue streams and enhancing their long-term competitiveness.

This includes all stages, from raw material extraction and processing, production, distribution, use, and disposal. LCA helps to identify the environmental impacts of a product or service and provides insight into areas where improvements can be made to minimize negative impacts on the environment.

LCA is governed by the international standard ISO 14040, which outlines the principles and framework for conducting LCA. This standard provides guidelines for conducting a life cycle assessment, including the definition of the scope, the selection of the assessment methods, and the interpretation of the results. There are many LCA tools and software available that comply with the ISO 14040 standard, such as OpenLCA, Gabi LCA, and other life cycle assessment software.
