Carbonfact vs CarbonTool

Carbonfact is an environmental data platform for apparel and footwear companies, covering carbon accounting, product life-cycle assessments, regulatory reporting, and decarbonization. Its Product LCA offering runs cradle-to-grave assessments across a full catalogue and 16 PEFCR impact indicators. Carbon Accounting provides a GHG Protocol Scope 1, 2, and 3 inventory, including activity-based Scope 3.1. The platform uses more than 150,000 fashion-specific emission factors and fills data gaps with automated heuristics and verified supplier data. Its integrations directory lists more than 58 connections, including Centric, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, Snowflake, Tableau, and Power BI. Reporting options include Digital Product Passports, CSRD ESRS E1, CDP, Textile Exchange Materials Benchmark, and Better Cotton Initiative reports. A separate decarbonization add-on models product and company-wide reduction scenarios. Carbonfact says its methodology aligns with the GHG Protocol, ISO 14040/14044, and EU PEFCR, with annual peer review by PwC. It lists web and API access. Pricing is on request, while a free supplier plan covers environmental-data exchange and LCA verification. The company says a first audit-ready GHG Protocol report takes six weeks, and a full Product LCA data-granularity implementation takes about four months.

CarbonTool is a carbon accounting platform for measuring, reporting and reducing Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. Its website describes one data backbone for CSRD, VSME, GRI, CDP and ISSB reporting. Organizations can enter data manually or use Excel/CSV, AI uploads, API connections or SAF-T imports. More than 200 templates provide emission-source methodologies, units and factors; listed factor databases include DEFRA, EPA, ecoinvent and ADEME. CarbonTool can track subsidiaries, sites or business units separately, then consolidate them into a group inventory. It supports reduction targets and scenario planning that compares impact, cost and return. Each data point can carry its source, unit, factor, quality level and audit trail. Free Starter access covers Scope 1 and 2; paid plans add Scope 3 across all 15 GHG Protocol categories. Starter access lasts 30 days without a credit card or auto-charge, and trial data remains for 90 days after access lapses. The service is built and hosted in the EU.
