Six hundred years later, we’re still using the same fundamental accounting principles. Businesses report financials to a narrow set of shareholders, prioritizing monetary returns under the guise of fiduciary duty. But the world has changed, and the way we measure business success must change with it. Today, we have the data and technology to go beyond financial statements. We can measure and report a company’s true impact, from carbon emissions and resource consumption to supply chain effects and social responsibility. The definition of value must evolve to include all stakeholders and the well-being of our planet. At CarbonSuite, we’re bridging the gap between accounting and sustainability. We’re transforming impact measurement into an integrated, decision-driving framework. Through carbon accounting and sustainability reporting, we empower businesses to see the full picture and redefine their role in shaping a more sustainable future. Because we believe accountants will save the earth. Learn More Our Mission At CarbonSuite, we harness the power of technology to empower companies to Record, Report, and Reduce their environmental impact. This is a crucial step on their journey towards Net Zero. Carbon Accounting and Sustainability Reporting have traditionally been reserved for large corporations with dedicated sustainability teams.

This means that you can automatically collect Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas (GHG emissions) data directly from your financial transactions like Vendor Bills and Expense Reports. CarbonSuite creates a “carbon ledger” entry for each relevant financial ledger entry in NetSuite and automatically joins the records together to ensure maximum traceability. Other platforms require you to export financial data out of your accounting system and import it into the carbon accounting platform. This is risky, time consuming, and often creates data silos within departments. With CarbonSuite, you can keep your financial data secure, enable collaboration within your team, and avoid the manual export / import tasks.

This is also referred to as the “Product Carbon Footprint. ” While Corporate Carbon Accounting uses the methodology of the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, Product Carbon Accounting uses the methodology of the GHG Protocol Product Standard. Product Carbon Accounting may be relevant to organizations that produce physical goods and are interested in understanding the lifecycle emissions of the products they produce, from raw material extraction, manufacturing & processing, transportation & distribution, usage, and end of life. Add-On Module CarbonSuite offers a Product Carbon Accounting feature as an add-on module to the Corporate Carbon Accounting Product.

The products and services your purchase and sell have a life before you receive them, and they have a life after you are finished with them. Thus, within scope 3, you are responsible for reporting the extended value chain emissions of your company. There are 15 categories within scope 3, which can be found in detail in our Scope 3 Spotlight. Some of these categories require you to collect data from your value chain in order to accurately report your emissions. For example: Category 1: Purchased Goods and Services. Data needs to be collected at for each product / service that is purchased, based on the emissions intensity of each purchase. Category 7: Employee Commuting. Data needs to be collected directly from employees, based on their commuting habits and work from home hours. Category 15: Investments. Data needs to be collected from portfolio companies in which you are invested, based on their corporate carbon footprint. Add-On Module CarbonSuite offers a Value Chain Module as an add-on feature. This feature enables you to automate collection of data within your value chain through surveys, website scraping, and document scanning.

Learn why utility data is essential to accurate carbon accounting and how to automate it. - Published: 2025-06-12 - Modified: 2025-06-19 - URL: https://carbon-suite.com/why-carbon-accounting-needs-utility-data-and-how-to-use-it-right/ - Categories: Partnerships Accurate Data = Better Carbon Accounting When it comes to carbon accounting, your data is only as good as the systems you use to collect it. If your reporting still relies on monthly utility bills, spreadsheets, or emailed PDFs, you're leaving too much room for error and not enough for efficiency and sustainability improvements. That’s why CarbonSuite has partnered with QMC, a leading utility and sub-metering provider, to simplify data collection and supercharge your emissions reporting. The integration helps organizations of all sizes automate utility data, eliminate manual input, and build audit-ready reports effortlessly while saving on energy costs and reducing emissions. Let’s break down how utility data drives effective carbon accounting, and how QMC + CarbonSuite work together to help you track, report, and act. Why Utility Data Matters in Carbon Accounting CarbonSuite helps organizations report on Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. This includes the emissions you control directly, or that result from your energy use. For these, utility data is critical. Here’s why it matters: Direct emissions (Scope 1): e. g. , gas or fuel burned onsite Indirect emissions (Scope 2): e. g. , purchased electricity or heating or Cooling If your data is delayed, estimated, or inaccurate, your sustainability reports can be less trusted. That’s a problem when you’re filing ESG disclosures, working toward net-zero goals, or trying to meet frameworks like CSRD, CDP, ASRS, etc. Real carbon impact starts with real data. With accurate utility metering, you get full transparency and confidence that your numbers... --- > Building brand value through transparent, auditable sustainability data.

OBJECTIVES Pai Skincare is a London-based organic skincare brand known for its commitment to transparency, ethical sourcing, and clean ingredients. As a certified B Corporation, Pai is held to rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. The company needed a solution to efficiently track emissions across its operations and supply chain to validate sustainability claims for products. In addition to internal goals, Pai faces increasing pressure from large retail partners like Sephora to provide auditable ESG data as part of their procurement requirements. Meeting these expectations required a scalable, verifiable, and integrated approach to emissions reporting and supplier engagement. SOLUTION CarbonSuite worked with Pai Skincare to fully automate Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions reporting across the company’s operations and value chain. The platform ingested activity data from Pai’s NetSuite ERP system to create a centralized, accurate emissions baseline. With CarbonSuite’s Value Chain Module, Pai also launched a Supplier Sustainability Program to collect and assess key emissions data from its upstream suppliers. This created a structured and repeatable way for Pai to meet retailer and regulatory demands while driving meaningful action across its supply network. BENEFITS Audit-Ready B Corp & Customer Reporting CarbonSuite delivers emissions reports aligned with global standards, enabling Pai to meet B Corp impact assessment criteria with confidence. The platform also helps fulfill environmental reporting requests from Sephora and other large retailers that require verifiable emissions data. This level of auditability reduces internal reporting burden and... --- > "Explore the 2025 B-Corp certification changes and what businesses need to know about the new mandatory impact standards from B Lab." - Published: 2025-05-22 - Modified: 2025-06-19 - URL: https://carbon-suite.com/b-corp-certification-carbonsuites-essential-guide/ - Categories: Knowledgebase In today’s business landscape, success is increasingly measured not just by profit margins but by the positive impact companies have on society and the environment. Certified B Corporations, or B Corps, are at the forefront of this movement. These are for-profit companies verified by the nonprofit B Lab to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. By committing to consider the impact of their decisions on all stakeholders—not just shareholders—B Corps redefine what it means to be a successful business. So, What is a B Corp? A Certified B Corporation is a business that meets high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency across a range of social and environmental factors. To become certified, a company must: Demonstrate verified positive impact on workers, customers, community, and the environment Amend its legal governance structure to be stakeholder-oriented, not just shareholder-driven Undergo a rigorous, independent assessment every three years through B Lab Today, over 8,000 businesses across 95 countries—including Patagonia, Allbirds, and Ben & Jerry’s—proudly hold this designation. How Did B Corp Certification Work Until Now? Historically, certification relied on the B Impact Assessment (BIA)—a 200-point questionnaire measuring performance across five key areas: Governance Workers Community Environment Customers To certify, companies had to: Score at least 80 points on the BIA Pass a review by B Lab analysts Make legal commitments to stakeholder governance This approach allowed flexibility. For instance, a company could offset a weaker environmental score with stronger community engagement. While practical, this model opened the... --- > Discover how integrating sustainability into NetSuite drives compliance, cuts costs, and unlocks new business value with CarbonSuite. - Published: 2025-05-12 - Modified: 2025-05-12 - URL: https://carbon-suite.com/sustainability-reporting-netsuite/ - Categories: Knowledgebase Why Sustainability Is More Than Reporting for NetSuite Users Sustainability NetSuite integration is becoming essential for businesses that want to thrive in today’s market.

At CarbonSuite, we hear from sustainability managers all the time: "How do I audit my emissions data? " This post will walk you through the basics of emissions assurance, explain the key principles involved, and clear up some common misunderstandings - especially when it comes to software claims about "certifying" emissions data. What Is an Audit of Emissions Data? An audit, whether of financial statements or emissions data, is an independent review conducted by a qualified third party. The purpose is to give confidence that the reported information is complete, accurate, and free from material misstatement. If you're new to assurance work, here are the key principles that guide the audit process: Key Principles of Audit Independence:Auditors must be completely independent of the company they are auditing. Independence ensures that there is no bias in the review of the data. Materiality:Auditors focus on issues that could significantly affect a user's decision based on the emissions report. Not every small mistake matters, but big ones do. Evidence-Based:Audits are built around collecting and evaluating sufficient appropriate evidence. Auditors don’t take your word for it; they verify based on documentation and data. Professional Skepticism:Auditors are trained to question and critically assess information rather than accepting it at face value. Clear Reporting:The outcome of an audit is a formal opinion that is communicated clearly, so stakeholders understand the reliability of the data.... --- > Wondering whether you should invest in sustainability in your promo products?

In collaboration with Sustainable Promo Pro, Brianna LePiane, we'll be unpacking these questions (and more) as we dive into one of the hottest trends in the promo industry: Sustainability. This is the second post in our sustainable promo series (see the first post here). Does sustainability matter in the promo industry? Promo companies are no strangers to change. Over the course of its multi-century history, the promotional products industry has needed to adapt to the changing times. It has always met the moment, and this moment is no different. Sustainability has become an imperative in the promo industry, driven by one thing: market demand. Let's break down this market demand into two main categories: Customer Demand Regulatory Pressure Customer Demand Consumers today are more conscious than ever about the environmental impact of their purchases. Both individual buyers and corporate clients are actively seeking sustainable alternatives, prioritizing products made from recycled, biodegradable, or ethically sourced materials. Brands that can demonstrate a commitment to sustainability gain a competitive edge, attracting customers who are willing to pay a premium for eco-friendly products. Most disrupters in the Promo space are focusing on verifiably sustainable products as one of their core differentiators (Ex: Fairware, Rupt, Ethical Swag). Furthermore, major corporations have established sustainability goals that extend to their supply chains, including the promotional products they purchase.

While some countries have stepped back from stringent reporting requirements, Australia has held firm, setting itself apart as a global leader. Central to this effort is the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS), which are raising the bar for ESG disclosures and driving progress across industries. A Global Shift in ESG Reporting Globally, sustainability reporting is at a crossroads. Economic pressures and political debates have led some countries to relax their ESG disclosure mandates. For instance, in the United States, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) climate disclosure rules have faced delays and revisions. Similarly, parts of Europe, despite the EU’s ambitious Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), are struggling with implementation challenges. For Australia, its the opposite. Rather than easing requirements, Australia has strengthened its commitment to sustainability reporting. This approach ensures that businesses remain transparent and accountable, even as global regulatory landscapes shift. The Role of ASRS in Shaping the Future The ASRS provide a clear roadmap for companies to disclose their environmental and social impacts. These standards align with global frameworks like the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), making it easier for Australian businesses to engage with international investors. A key feature of the ASRS is its phased implementation approach. Recognizing the varying levels of readiness across industries, the standards are being rolled out gradually,... --- > As the world continues to prioritize sustainability, 2025 promises a lineup of impactful events bringing together leaders, innovators, and activists. - Published: 2025-01-30 - Modified: 2025-02-06 - URL: https://carbon-suite.com/key-sustainability-events-2025/ - Categories: Events As the world continues to prioritize sustainability, 2025 promises a lineup of impactful events bringing together leaders, innovators, and activists.

Starting in 2025, new standards will be in place, aiming to enhance transparency and accountability regarding corporate sustainability. If you are a NetSuite user, CarbonSuite is your go-to SuiteApp for preparing your business' AASB reports. Here's our breakdown of the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS). The Framework The Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) has drafted three Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS) to guide these disclosures: AASB 1: General requirements for climate-related financial disclosure. AASB 2: Detailed climate-related financial disclosures. These standards align with the global IFRS S1 and IFRS S2, focusing on climate-related risks. Key Requirements Climate Resilience Assessments Scenario Analysis Organizations must evaluate their resilience under at least two climate scenarios, including a low-emission pathway consistent with limiting warming to 1. 5°C and a ‘high’ emission (2. 5C or higher) scenario. For example: A manufacturing company may analyze the impact of a 1. 5°C scenario involving stricter global carbon regulations (e. g. , carbon pricing) and a 3°C scenario predicting more frequent extreme weather events like floods. This would involve modeling impacts on production, supply chains, and costs . Adaptation and Mitigation Entities need to outline how they will adapt to identified risks and mitigate them, including planned adoption of technologies, reliance on offsets, or process changes. For example: A renewable energy company might describe plans to invest in more efficient solar panel technologies and highlight its strategy to offset emissions... --- > With CSRD deadlines coming soon, here's CarbonSuite's breakdown of Governance Reporting Standards ESRS G1. - Published: 2024-11-25 - Modified: 2024-11-25 - URL: https://carbon-suite.com/csrd-spotlight-esrs-g1/ - Categories: Knowledgebase As part of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), reporting requirements are broken down into 3 main categories: Environmental, Social, and Governance (for an overview of the CSRD and who is affected, see corresponding blog post: CSRD NetSuite Reporting Best Practices).

Beginning Jan 1st, 2025, many companies will be mandated to submit reports to the CSRD. If unprepared, data collection and reporting can be tricky, which is why CarbonSuite was designed to easily automate CSRD Reporting within NetSuite. In CarbonSuite’s Guide to CSRD Reporting, we will go through the following points so that you leave feeling well-prepared for upcoming reports. Who is Subject and When? What Information is Required? CSRD NetSuite Best Practices Who is Subject to CSRD Reporting? The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is a piece of EU Legislation, replacing the Non-financial Reporting Directive (NFRD), designed to enhance the scope and quality of sustainability reporting by corporations. It mandates disclosure of sustainability-related information, requiring that sustainability information is reported with the same rigor as financial data, setting the stage for audit requirements. As it is a piece of EU Legislation, the CSRD is designed for companies operating with the EU. But who exactly needs to submit these reports and when depends on a variety of factors. Reporting is rolled out in a phased approach: It began in 2024 and is rolled out through 2029. Let’s take a look at who needs to report and when. NFRD Companies Reporting Begins: Jan 1, 2024 Report Due: Jan 1, 2025 (Meaning companies must report on data from 1st of January 2024) NFRD Companies are companies that are already subject to NFRD Reporting.

Basically, the scope 3 emissions for one organization are the scope 1 and 2 emissions of another organization. Scope 3 emissions can seem daunting as they include a wide variety of emission sources. They are also not as straightforward as Scope 1 and 2 emissions. They can even represent up to 90% of an organization’s total emissions. Just have a look at the image below (GHG Protocol) - Scope 3 emissions encompass far more emissions than Scopes 1 and 2 combined. The full list of Scope 3 Categories is below: Purchased Goods and Services Capital Goods Fuel and Energy Related Activities Upstream Transportation and Distribution Waste Generated in Operations Business Travel Employee Commuting Upstream Leased Assets Downstream Transportation and Distribution Processing of Sold Products Use of Sold Products End of Life Treatment of Sold Products Downstream Leased Assets Franchises Investments (For an in-depth description of carbon accounting and Scopes 1, 2, and 3, check out our Carbon Accounting 101. ) As you can imagine, these emissions can be tricky to report on. Supply chains can be complex systems - supplier engagement, data inconsistencies, and lack of standardization all contribute to the complexity of reporting on Scope 3 emissions.

This process involves recording and reporting your company’s carbon emissions, with the goal of reducing its environmental impact. But why should businesses invest in carbon accounting? Let’s break it down and explore the benefits carbon accounting can bring to your business. 1. Staying Ahead of Regulations ' Government mandates on climate reporting are happening quickly all over the world. Australia, Brazil, Hong Kong, the European Union, and the State of California have all passed mandates requiring climate disclosure for businesses. Further, regulations in the UK, Canada, and the Security Exchange Commision (SEC) in the United States are in progress. While reporting may not yet be required within your country, it is best to get prepared now as these regulations will certainly continue to come. Many countries have committed to becoming Net Zero by 2050, and climate reporting mandates have become a crucial tool in meeting these ambitious targets. Carbon accounting is the best and easiest way to comply with these upcoming reporting requirements, and CarbonSuite’s Built-For-Netsuite SuiteApp makes carbon accounting simple, effective, and hassle-free.

This reporting can be done voluntarily, however many government bodies and regulatory organizations are now enforcing mandatory reporting. Sustainability Reporting has been around since 1997, beginning with the launch of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). The GRI is an independent organization that provides a framework for measuring and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, energy use, and climate change strategies. The GRI is considered to have established the first global framework for sustainability reporting. Their first guidelines were released in 2000, known as the G1 Guidelines. Shortly following, the Climate Disclosure Project (CDP) launched, providing a global environmental disclosure platform for companies to measure and manage their environmental risks. Since the birth of the GRI and the CDP, sustainability reporting has expanded widely across the world, and has gained momentum in recent years. 2015: Launch of Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) & Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) is created by the Financial Stability Board (FSB). Their primary focus is to create a voluntary framework to disclose financial related risks of climate change to investors, leaders, insurers, and other stakeholders. The SBTi is created as a collaboration between the Climate Disclosure Project (CDP), the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the World Resources Institute (WRI), and the World Wide Fund for Nature WWF).

Upgrade Your Lighting Step 1: Upgrade to LEDs One of the easiest and most effective ways you can reduce electricity consumption is by upgrading your lighting to LEDs. Traditional incandescent bulbs are highly inefficient, emitting large amounts of heat and consuming excessive energy. They also have much shorter life spans, lasting 1,000 hours compared to the 25,000-hour lifespan of a LED. But what about CFL bulbs? CFL bulbs are also an option for energy efficient upgrades as they are more efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs. However,... --- > Just getting started with carbon accounting? CarbonSuite takes you through the basics of how to get started with carbon accounting. - Published: 2023-05-28 - Modified: 2025-04-21 - URL: https://carbon-suite.com/carbon-accounting-101/ - Categories: Knowledgebase Let’s have a look at what carbon accounting, or climate reporting, really means. To understand carbon accounting, first we need to understand greenhouse gases and how they relate to emissions. Once we understand what these emissions are, we will discuss how to calculate them. After, we will learn how to calculate those emissions into a reportable format. Let’s begin. What are Greenhouse Gasses? Simply put, Greenhouse Gasses (GHGs) are gasses that warm the earth. Here’s how it works: Sunlight (solar radiation) reaches the earth. The earth’s surface and atmosphere absorb some of the sunlight, while they reflect the rest back into space. The Greenhouse Gasses in the atmosphere absorb this light and re-radiate it as heat in all directions. This has a warming effect on the earth. The main Greenhouse Gasses are Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), Nitrous Oxide (N2O), Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), Perfluorocarbons (PFCs), Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6), and Nitrogen Trifluoride (NF3). We need Greenhouse Gasses to keep the earth warm and at the desired temperature equilibrium to harbor life. Some amount of Greenhouse Gasses are good, and they are crucial for keeping the earth at a livable temperature. If we have too many Greenhouse Gasses, however, they will warm the earth above the temperature equilibrium. This threatens the earth systems, which are designed for milder temperatures. Many human activities put additional Greenhouse Gasses into the earth’s atmosphere. Some examples include: burning fossil fuels, mixing cement, manufacturing steel, using fertilizer, and leaking refrigerants. Greenhouse Gas “Emissions” emerge when we perform GHG-creating... --- ---
