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 30+ page 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.
