Is this report accepted by EU buyers and customs authorities? +
Our reports follow GHG Protocol methodology and ISO 14064-1 structure, the same standards EU buyers cite when designing their CSRD Scope 3 questionnaires and the Higg FEM industry assessment used across the apparel sector. Our reports are not third-party ISO 14064-3 assured by default; for tenders that require statutory assurance, our Third-Party Assurance Fast-Track routes the data room to an accredited verification body. Acceptance by any specific EU buyer is always at the buyer's discretion. We don't claim partnerships we don't have.
Does CBAM currently apply to textile factories? +
CBAM Phase 1 covers cement, steel, aluminium, fertilisers, and electricity. However, EU brands under CSRD are already requiring verified Scope 3 supplier emissions data from textile manufacturers as of 2025. Expansion to all goods is under active EU review and expected before 2030.
How is this different from a sustainability consultant? +
Consultants charge €15,000–€50,000 and take 3–6 months. Our platform applies the same standardised emission factors and GHG Protocol methodology in under 2 minutes — at 99% lower cost. For ISO 14064-3 independent third-party assurance (required for statutory CSRD/CBAM attestation and some tenders), use our Third-Party Assurance Fast-Track add-on, which routes your data room to an accredited verification body — CarbonReport Pro itself does not issue ISO 14064-3 certificates.
Can I try the platform before paying? +
Yes. Every registered account receives one free demo report. It is a complete, real-format ISO 14064-aligned carbon report covering Scope 1, 2 and 3, the only difference is a "Demo" watermark. Create your account at login, choose the Free Demo tab. No credit card required.
What data do I need to generate a report? +
Primarily: electricity bills (kWh), fuel consumption records, production output (kg or units), and basic factory information. Our OCR upload feature can auto-extract figures from utility documents. Scope 3 supplier data is optional but strengthens your CSRD Scope 3 compliance position.
Do you support multi-factory manufacturing groups? +
Yes. Each facility gets its own report (€999 per facility, per reporting period), so figures are never blended across sites. For groups with several mills that want consolidated dashboards or continuous monitoring, we run a private program — contact sales from the pricing page and we'll scope it for your group.
