Carbonfact

👙🌊 We’re excited to announce our partnership with MYMARINI GmbH! Christin Schwarzer, Head of Impact Management at MYMARINI, shares: “Carbonfact provided exactly the kind of feasible solution we needed as a small brand tackling PEF and carbon accounting. With so many automated processes and deep expertise that helped fill in our data gaps, it allowed us to overcome our limited internal capacities while still achieving highly transparent results. This has helped us share more meaningful impact data with our customers — and we’re excited to take the next step together with the upcoming DPP release!”

Burton Snowboards measures with Carbonfact 🏂🏔️ Emily Foster, Director of Planet & People Impact at Burton, shares: “We chose Carbonfact for automation, compliance, and impact modeling.

Questions to ask when selecting Carbon Accounting software ⬇️ Apparel and footwear brands are turning to carbon accounting for various reasons — from meeting Science-Based Targets to securing better loan rates as banks begin linking interest rates to climate performance. With over 90% of emissions coming from indirect sources like manufacturing and transport, it’s no easy task. That’s why picking the right carbon accounting tool matters. We break it down in our latest blog, but here are the key questions to ask when evaluating your options: ➡️ Is the Carbon Accounting approach compliant and certified? Does it adhere to the GHG Protocol? ➡️ Which GHG Protocol scopes does the platform cover? ➡️ Does the platform use spend- and/or activity-based Scope 1-3 measurements? ➡️ Which primary data sources do you typically use for Scope 3 emissions calculations (particularly Category 1)? ➡️ Which secondary/reference data sources does the platform typically use for Scope 3 emissions calculations? ➡️ Is the solution primarily aimed at the apparel and clothing sector or is it a cross-industry solution? ➡️ How does the solution address the most common data gaps that apparel and footwear customers encounter? ➡️ Does the solution support automated data collection? ➡️ Does the solution automatically generate reports for external ESG reporting frameworks? Which frameworks does it support? ➡️ How long is the average onboarding/implementation period? Curious to learn about Carbonfact’s approach?

La Sportiva measures with Carbonfact 🧗♀️🏔️ We are happy to announce that La Sportiva, known for its technical footwear, clothing, and accessories for Climbing, Mountaineering, Hiking, Mountain Running®, and Skimountaineering, is using Carbonfact to better understand and reduce the impact of its products. Jessica Genta, Strategy & Sustainability Director at La Sportiva, shares: "For us, as a product-centric brand, creating transparency on the impact of our products is crucial. That’s why we started years ago with our first LCAs. Now, Carbonfact allows us to go further - mapping our unique supply chain and simulating the impact of design or material changes early in development. One of our upcoming models, for example, could reduce its carbon footprint by a fourth through design improvements alone."
