Do you believe companies should be required to report precise carbon footprints instead of industry averages?
Sweep and Climatiq have launched a new partnership that allows companies to request and track product carbon footprints from their suppliers. This integration uses AI and bill of materials data to help businesses move beyond industry averages for their environmental reporting.
Why it matters
Regulations such as the European Union's CSRD and California's SB253 are forcing companies to report more accurate Scope 3 emissions data. This tool helps businesses transition from broad estimates to specific carbon footprint calculations for their supply chains.
The platform utilizes a guided flow where suppliers upload a bill of materials to generate carbon footprints. These calculations are designed to be PACT-aligned, replacing the common practice of using generic industry averages.
The players
Sweep
A software company focused on providing supply chain and carbon management tools for corporate sustainability reporting.
Climatiq
A technology provider specializing in calculation engines that match activity data to emission factors for carbon footprinting.
The details
The system operates by integrating Climatiq's emission factor matching engine directly into Sweep's supply chain management platform. When a company requests a footprint, the supplier provides a bill of materials, which the software then processes using AI to calculate accurate carbon impacts. This enables buyers to compare the environmental footprints of different suppliers side-by-side.

The takeaway
Companies are now adopting more precise methods for calculating the carbon emissions embedded in their products. As these reporting tools become common, expect to see more specific environmental impact metrics listed alongside product specifications.
