CarbonChain, an AI-powered carbon-accounting platform revolutionising supply-chain emissions visibility, announced the release of CarbonChain Comply. This major update responds to the complex challenges faced by metals and energy businesses amid shifting carbon regulations and growing stakeholder demands. CarbonChain Comply empowers sustainability leaders, compliance managers and procurement directors to navigate diverse disclosure requirements effortlessly. Part of the Spring 2024 Product Release, CarbonChain Comply introduces three key updates: the Carbon Reporting Hub centralises carbon-footprint generation, offering Scope 1-3 corporate carbon footprints aligned with industry standards such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, validated by SGS.

CBAM Ccmpliance features cater to importers affected by the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), providing customs declaration validation and automated XML file generation for seamless compliance. The Supplier Engagement Module facilitates data exchange with suppliers, supporting product lifecycle and Scope 3 emissions calculations essential for CBAM compliance and broader sustainability reporting. CarbonChain’s tailored approach, driven by its robust carbon-accounting platform, ensures precise emissions tracking at the transaction level, setting a new standard for energy and metals supply-chain sustainability.
