01
EU importers
Can you give us verified embedded emissions for what you ship?
The EU CBAM definitive period has run since 1 January 2026. Importers without verified data must apply EU default values, and the first declaration, for 2026 imports, is due 30 September 2027. UK CBAM starts on 1 January 2027.

Can you answer our ESG questionnaire with evidence we can file?
Brand questionnaires and BRSR value-chain requests now arrive with deadlines. An assessment checks what they check: ISO 14001 and 45001, Consent to Operate conditions, waste rules, EPR obligations and the Factories Act.

European buyers
What is your carbon footprint, and will it survive scrutiny?
Scope 1 is the diesel in your generators and fuel in company vehicles; Scope 2 is grid power for machines; Scope 3 is the materials you buy and your vendors’ transport. Each is calculated to the GHG Protocol and documented.

Inside your business
We have hundreds of suppliers. How do they actually perform?
Suppliers answer a shorter, relevant set of questions through their own login, upload documents against each answer, and leave with a scorecard and a rating band from Platinum to Committed.
What an assessment checks on a plant
We review policies, bills, registers, certificates and permits before we arrive, then walk the facility, inspect systems, review waste and effluent, and interview team leaders, workers, the facility engineer and procurement.
