Case study
"Shoes can consist of up to 1500 components. Before Carbonfact, we asked our developers to weigh every single piece but such a manual approach is not scalable. Carbonfact helped us in deriving rules to overcome data gaps by creating accurate assumptions."

Case study
"With Carbonfact we can do full product LCAs on all of our products. Thanks to measuring things early on, we can simulate how a new product is going to have a different impact compared to the current version. For example, one of our new products is expected to decrease its footprint by a fourth just by designing it differently."
Strategy & Sustainability at La Sportiva
Case study
"We needed a solution that could handle the complexities of the apparel supply chain, provide year-to-date insights, and support with detailed scenario analyses for our supply chain. For us Carbonfact is not just a Carbon Management Software, but an extension of our sustainability team."

"What's really special about Carbonfact is the way that it can work alongside the VF brands to help identify where there are gaps in our product impact data. But also helping us bridge towards improving that data. So it's much more of a partner to solve the challenges we have."
Senior Sustainability Manager, The Northface
Case study
"The Explorer is, for sure, my favorite feature. I love the ability to look at the breakdown of the carbon footprint per product line, for processes or on a material basis. That's so dynamic that we're able to leverage it in different ways depending on the projects that we're working on or the teams that we're engaging with."

"Carbonfact's offerings, particularly its product-level focus for footwear and apparel, ensures we can both measure our carbon footprint and actively find ways to reduce it. Carbonfact has been instrumental in helping us model different scenarios and make informed decisions that align with our sustainability goals."
Sustainability at Allbirds
Case study
"We have moved from spend-based carbon accounting into Carbonfact to prioritize primary data and get more accurate calculations. The main reason for us to choose Carbonfact is that we now not only get our company's total carbon footprint but also break it down for each of our products."

What Our Customers Say
"With our Carbonfact platform, our creation teams are better equipped to replace virgin fossil-based materials and energy-intensive processes with sustainable alternatives that still fulfill our high-performance requirements."
Philipp Engels
Product Sustainability Lead at On
“Carbonfact gives me precise carbon measurements that reflect my products - not generic industry averages. They provide bespoke emission factors that reflect the unique materials, suppliers, and processes we actually use.”
Lisa Schmidt
Sustainability Manager at Snocks
"Allbirds was founded to create better things in a better way, a mission that inspired our laser-focus on carbon reduction -- and eventually, labeling each of our products with its carbon footprint. As we continue to grow, Carbonfact's offerings, particularly its product-level focus for footwear and apparel, ensures we can both measure our carbon footprint and actively find ways to reduce it."
Aileen Lerch
Sustainability at Allbirds
“With Carbonfact we can go deeper and do full product LCAs on all of our products. Thanks to being able to measure things early on, it allows us to simulate how a new product is going to have a different impact compared to the current version.”

“Carbonfact guides us on what areas to focus on, what data points are important to deep-dive into, where we can guide our investments and internal project priorities.”
Emily Foster
Director of Planet & People Impact at Burton
“Carbonfact is a solution tailored to the needs of the apparel and footwear world. The interface is really smart, very intuitive. What is really special is that the team brings the experience it has of working with other brands, but is able to recognize the unique challenges a big group like VF has.”

How Carbonfact works
01
Retrieve and Clean Data
We’ll ingest all your existing product and supply chain data. Whether it lives in a PLM, ERP, Excel Sheet or a combination thereof, we’ll consolidate and clean it. We’ll do all the heavy lifting too – we can build a custom connector that integrates with your existing systems, automating future data import and creating a live connection to Carbonfact.
02
Enrich and Fill Data Gaps
Incomplete data? Not a problem – we’ll find and fill any data gaps. Our Data Management solution’s algorithm - trained on extensive primary data sets - automatically fills in missing details like component weights, dtex, and process-level steps.
03
Measure Product Emissions
Once your data is processed, our LCA engine automatically calculates the footprints for each of your products on an SKU level. Directly view the product footprint or break it down by any of the 16 PEFCR indicators. The numbers update whenever new purchase orders are synced via the live data connection.
04
Improve Data Quality
Carbonfact helps you identify emission hotspots and smartly prioritize your supplier data collection. By providing you with a concrete list of data points to gather from your suppliers, we save your team weeks of time and effort.
05
Analyze and Disclose Emissions
Explore your clean, accurate data with interactive dashboards, perform your yearly GHG Carbon Accounting, and automatically generate reports to stay compliant with CSRD and other regulatory requirements.
06
Set Targets and Decarbonize
Dive into your data with our analytics dashboards and simulate changes using our Eco Design solution. Model changes across components, materials, process steps, and transport on a product and catalog level.
How Carbonfact differs
Exclusive to apparel & footwear
The apparel & footwear industry is responsible for 5%-10% of all global emissions. The complex supply chain tiers create a unique challenge. That’s why say that we believe decarbonization is a data problem. We work with hundreds of brands, including industry leaders like Marc O'Polo, ARMEDANGELS and Columbia.
Scalable, precise and automated
We’ve turned the GHG Protocol into automated software. Data engineering features - trained on millions of LCA's - automatically fill in missing details like component weights, dtex, and process-level steps.
An extension of your sustainability team
While our platform handles the heavy lifting, our team of engineers, climate, compliance, and data experts is there to support you every step of the way 💪.
