The Platform
One platform. Every disclosure standard.
From CSV upload to a CSRD ESRS E1-structured report with a complete audit trail — without stitching together a spreadsheet model, a consultant's template, and a PDF editor.
Step 1
Your activity data, mapped to GHG Protocol categories on import.
Most emissions data doesn't start in clean rows. It lives in utility invoices, fleet fuel logs, T&E platforms, and procurement exports. Carbonkindle accepts CSV, Excel, and structured ERP exports — and maps each row to the correct Scope and GHG Protocol category during upload.
- CSV and Excel upload with column mapping
- Standardised data templates for common emissions categories
- Compatible with NetSuite, Workday, and SAP data exports (not a certified integration — import via structured CSV)
- Pre-calculation validation flags missing activity data, unit mismatches, and out-of-range values
Calculation engine
Traceable calculations, not black-box estimates.
Every CO₂e figure in Carbonkindle resolves to a published emission factor and a documented calculation method.
Emission factor library
Sourced from IPCC AR6, EPA, DEFRA, and Ecoinvent. Updated annually. Every factor shows its source citation inline.
Scope assignment logic
Automatic classification of activities into Scope 1, 2, or 3 categories based on the GHG Protocol boundary rules.
Market-based and location-based Scope 2
Both methods calculated simultaneously from the same input data. Residual mix factors and Energy Attribute Certificates tracked per facility. GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance compliant by design.
Step 3
Report builder structured for ESRS E1 and GHG Protocol inventory format.
The report builder outputs documents in the structure CSRD ESRS E1 and the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard actually require — not generic sustainability narratives that have to be manually reformatted before they reach your auditor.
- CSRD ESRS E1 section structure
- GHG Protocol inventory table format
- Exportable as structured PDF with data appendix
- Disclosure-ready supporting calculation tables
Audit trail
Change history your verifiers can access.
Every edit, source change, and emission factor update is logged with a timestamp and user attribution. Third-party verifiers get read-only access to the full record.
Version control
Full history of every change to input data, emission factors, and calculation parameters. Compare any two versions side by side.
Verifier access
Invite external auditors and third-party verifiers with read-only credentials. No data export required for review.
Calculation trace
Click any CO₂e figure to see the underlying activity data, emission factor, source citation, GWP100 value used, and the calculation method applied. The trail a verifier needs to issue a limited assurance opinion.
