For Q1 2025, we've introduced two solutions that give procurement teams actionable carbon insights: CarbonChain Zero and the CBAM Impact Calculator. As carbon costs continue to rise and customer demand for lower-carbon products grows, procurement and sales teams need tools that bring carbon data into daily decision-making.

These tools integrate carbon metrics directly into procurement workflows, enabling teams to evaluate suppliers, negotiate contracts, and make purchasing decisions with both financial and environmental factors in mind.

The result is procurement that optimizes for both cost and carbon — a practical necessity in today's regulatory environment. Both solutions reduce time-to-value from months to minutes, enabling businesses to quickly integrate carbon metrics into their decision-making processes.

CarbonChain Zero: Procurement and Commercial Sustainability Intelligence

Informed Supplier Selection: Zero enables procurement teams to evaluate and select suppliers based on their carbon emissions.

Product Carbon Comparison: Compare embedded carbon in similar products from different suppliers.

Sourcing Scenario Analysis: Model the carbon impact of different sourcing decisions before finalizing contracts.

Bring Carbon Emissions into Commercial Discussions: Zero enables you to generate emissions "quotes" for your customers before making a sale, allowing you to differentiate on the basis of transparency and sustainability while responding quickly to customer requests for carbon data.

CBAM Impact Calculator: Financial Intelligence for Strategic Sourcing and Commercial Planning

Cost Forecasting: Calculate the expected cost of CBAM certificates for your historical imports, enabling accurate financial planning and budgeting.

Supplier Cost Comparison: Compare your suppliers on an expected CBAM cost per tonne basis to make informed procurement decisions, even without deep carbon expertise.

Data-Driven Negotiations: Equip procurement professionals with concrete data to incorporate carbon costs in supplier negotiations.

Category Risk Assessment: Identify product categories with highest CBAM exposure to prioritize supplier engagement efforts and minimize overall CBAM costs.

And more!

In Q1 we’ve shipped a new workflow for CBAM declarations:

Manage all of your supplier and CN code information directly in the CarbonChain platform — no spreadsheets required.
