Sustainability & Carbon Compliance

Scope 3 is 80% of your Footprint. Your Suppliers Have the Data. Go Get It.

CSRD, CBAM, CDP, SBTi—every carbon regulation demands supplier data you don't have. Spend-based estimates won't cut it anymore. Certivo automates supplier carbon collection, AI-validates every calculation, and generates audit-ready evidence for every framework—today's requirements and tomorrow's regulations.

The Problem

Scope 3 Reporting Is a Supplier Problem

Spend-Based Guesswork

Using industry averages makes your Scope 3 estimates unreliable. CBAM penalizes default values 3-5x. CDP scores primary data. You need actual supplier emissions data.

Supplier Carbon Black Hole

You email 400 suppliers for emissions data. 50 respond. 30 send unusable formats. 10 have actually calculated correctly. The rest don't know where to start.

Calculation Chaos

Suppliers use different methodologies. Different scopes. Different emission factors. Different units. You get 400 responses and 400 formats—none comparable.

Multi-Framework Madness

CSRD wants ESRS E1 format. CBAM wants embedded carbon. CDP wants engagement metrics. Same supplier data, four manual reporting exercises.
