How and When to Rebaseline Carbon Emissions: Guidance for Apparel and Footwear Brands

For fashion brands: Why should you re-baseline and how to approach it. See examples on how apparel brands are communicating a change in bas...

What is carbon accounting in the apparel and footwear industry?

Carbon accounting measures greenhouse gas emissions across every stage of a product's lifecycle — from raw material sourcing to production, transportation, and disposal. For fashion brands, it provides insights into which parts of the supply chain are most carbon-intensive, enabling targeted sustainability efforts.

Why is carbon accounting important for apparel and footwear brands?

Carbon accounting empowers brands to understand and reduce their environmental impact. It aids in meeting sustainability goals, enhances transparency for stakeholders, and ensures alignment with evolving fashion industry regulations around carbon emissions, such as CSRD.

Can the platform measure Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions separately?

Yes, Carbonfact’s platform supports detailed measurement of GHG Scopes 1, 2, and 3 emissions. For Scopes 1 and 2, the platform utilizes activity-based measurement, while for Scope 3, it can track specific categories such as Purchased Goods (often 80% of a brand's emissions), Upstream Transportation, Product Use, and End-of-Life Treatment. Where appropriate, Carbonfact can also apply spend-based measurements for other Scope 3 categories, ensuring that brands have a complete view of their emissions footprint.

What environmental indicators can the platform measure?

Carbonfact’s platform aligns with PEFCR methodology, tracking 16 environmental indicators, including CO2e, water use, land use, energy consumption, waste, and chemicals. The platform also supports all 24 indicators for the French EcoScore and is designed to integrate with major protocols like SBTi, including FLAG requirements. Built with the vision of translating GHG and PEFCR documents into actionable software, Carbonfact enables brands to track both carbon and broader environmental impacts.

How does Carbonfact ensure data transparency?

Transparency is integral to Carbonfact’s approach. All data sources, assumptions, and methodologies are fully accessible to users, allowing them to track the origins and updates of their carbon data. This transparency ensures credibility and prevents risks associated with greenwashing.

What emissions does Carbonfact's software measure?

Carbonfact measures Scope 1 (direct), Scope 2 (energy-related), and Scope 3 (supply chain-related) emissions. This comprehensive approach includes emissions from factory energy use, transportation, and upstream processes like fabric production, giving a complete view of a brand's carbon footprint.

How does Carbonfact handle missing data?

Carbonfact bridges data gaps through two key features:

Carbonfact Heuristics: A database with aggregated data from 150+ brands, providing insights on materials and manufacturing techniques.
Data Augmentation Rules: Custom rules that leverage clients' knowledge of products, enriching their data for accuracy.

Additionally, Carbonfact draws on databases like Ecoinvent, EF 3.1 and Base Empreinte®, and its Science team creates bespoke emission factors when needed, ensuring comprehensive and reliable data coverage.

Can Carbonfact help with regulatory compliance?

Yes, Carbonfact aligns with frameworks like the GHG Protocol and CSRD, which are becoming mandatory for apparel and footwear brands globally. It assists in compliance by providing standardized carbon accounting practices, making it easier for fashion brands to adhere to regulatory demands and disclose their emissions transparently.
