What is the Official Carbon Digital Platform?
Designed by fashion experts for fashion experts, this official carbon digital platform is all about making sustainability in fashion straightforward and actionable. It helps trace production, measure environmental impact, reduce carbon footprints, and improve supply chain margins—all in seconds. The platform is tailored specifically for the fashion industry, offering tools that bring clarity and precision to carbon accounting, so businesses can make smarter, greener choices without the usual hassle.
Main Benefits of the Platform
Here’s what makes this platform stand out:
- Certified tools for Product Carbon Footprint measurement, aligned with GHG, ISO, and PAS standards.
- One-stop tracking for Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from electricity), and Scope 3 (entire value chain emissions).
- Instant suggestions on how to reduce CO2e emissions, making sustainability actionable.
- Integration with PLM, ERP, and repository systems for real-time environmental data collection.
- Precision at SKU and size level, reflecting every style and shape of a product.
- Dedicated software tailored to each product category, measuring energy consumption down to seconds and minutes.
- Unique carbon footprint optimizer that merges carbon reduction with supply chain cost optimization.
Understanding Scope 1, 2, and 3 Emissions
Carbon accounting can be complex, but this platform simplifies it by covering all emission scopes in one place. Scope 1 covers direct emissions from company facilities. Scope 2 tracks indirect emissions from purchased electricity. And Scope 3? That’s the big one—covering indirect emissions from the entire value chain, including suppliers and logistics. Having all this data in one user-friendly platform means businesses get a full picture of their environmental impact, making it easier to take meaningful action.
Traceability Beyond Direct Operations
Traceability here goes way beyond just a company’s own operations (Scopes 1 & 2). It extends deep into the supply chain (Scope 3), tracking a product’s journey from raw materials to the finished good. This level of transparency is crucial for businesses serious about sustainability. It shines a light on environmental and social impacts hidden within supplier networks, empowering companies to address issues and improve their overall footprint.
Measuring and Reducing Carbon Footprint
Measuring carbon emissions is just the start. The platform provides instant, actionable suggestions on how to reduce CO2e emissions effectively. It’s not just about cutting numbers—it’s about smart strategies that balance environmental goals with business realities. Whether it’s exploring innovative materials, optimizing production processes, or partnering with like-minded suppliers, the platform supports a sustainable approach that keeps profit margins healthy.

Compliance and Life Cycle Assessment Made Easy
Compliance is no joke, especially when it comes to greenhouse gas accounting. This platform streamlines adherence to top standards like the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, ISO 14064, PAS 50, and Defra Product Footprint. Data collection is automated, calculations are transparent, and reporting is simplified. Plus, the platform’s Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) complexity is translated into fashion terms—tracking every step from raw materials and embellishments to transportation and packaging. To top it off, TUV Rheinland audits the tools, giving users maximum confidence in compliance and accuracy.
