AboutCarbonChain

Want to work on the most pressing challenge of our generation If you want to build exceptional products execute at scale and want to help build a company for the long termwedlove to hear from you.

CarbonChainhelps the worlds biggest supply chains measure and reduce their carbon emissions using verified primary data where possible and robust defaults where itisnt. We build software that turns messy real-world operational and supplier information into decision-grade carbon and compliance insights so teams canact:improve sourcing meet regulations like CBAM and deliver credible reporting to customers investors and regulators.

Werea product-led companyoperatingin a high-stakes domain. Data quality auditability reliability and trust matter as much as speed. If you enjoy building systems that customers rely on and shipping improvements that measurably changebehaviouracross a networkyoullfeel at home here.

Our Product

Our platform combines real-world emissions data with our customers supply chain information to create actionable insights. We help sustainability teams answer critical questions: Where are the emissions hotspots in our supply chain Which suppliers should we prioritizeWhatsthe carbon impact of switching vendors or routes

A major focus of whatwerebuilding right now is supplier engagement and CBAM data management:

• enabling installations (goods producers) to prepare manage and share CBAM datasets through guided product carbon accounting workflows;

• improving our supplier database and connection management to support sharing across supply chains;

• and building ingestion pipelines that turn messy customer files into structured provenance-tracked insights-ready data.

Beyond CBAM our platform supports product and corporate carbonfootprintingused by some of the worlds largest commodities producers and traders helping teams move from data collection to credible reporting and decision-making.

Decarbonizing the economy requires a granular real-time view of where emissions come from and how they might be reduced. Weve built software to automate the carbon footprinting of supply chains. Banks traders and manufacturers use our product to tame the complexity of international supply networks identify the most carbon-intensive parts and find lower-carbon alternatives.
