Official comparison report from research firm Verdantix , breaking down the features and differences between LCA Software vendors.
Customers consistently highlight Carbonfact’s deep understanding of the fashion industry as a core advantage. They value working with Carbonfact’s Science department, a team that “speaks the same language” and understands how garments and footwear are actually made. This expertise allows Carbonfact to provide tailored guidance on processes, materials, and regulations, rather than generic advice. Many customers mention that this “felt like working with a partner, not just a software provider,” especially when navigating PEF, Eco-Score, or SBTi requirements.
Users emphasize the benefit of managing both corporate and product-level emissions in a single system. They describe this integration as “a relief after juggling multiple tools and spreadsheets” for different reporting scopes. Having one consistent methodology and platform for products and operations gives teams a unified view of their footprint and simplifies audit preparation. Customers note that this combination helps them connect product changes directly to company-wide reduction targets ,“something we couldn’t do before.”
Customers frequently point to Carbonfact’s ability to fill missing data as a major differentiator. When supplier or material information is incomplete, the platform applies smart heuristics derived by running more than 50 million LCAs. Several teams said this allows them to move forward even when data quality varies across collections or regions. They describe it as “a practical way to stay accurate without waiting for perfect data.”

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."
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."
Case study
"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."
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."
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."
From first footprint to net zero - hear it from the teams doing the work.
"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."
"For our brand, accurate and scalable carbon accounting -especially for Scope 3.1 - is critical. We started with consultants but that approach became too limited. Partnering with Carbonfact allowed us to move faster and improve data accuracy, the platform automatically fills in missing values using insights from working with hundreds of fashion brands."
"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."
"We have moved from spend-based carbon accounting into Carbonfact to prioritise 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 — helping us reach our goal of reducing emissions by 50% before 2030."
Environmental intelligence platform - built for apparel and footwear brands, and their suppliers.
