 Move from guesswork to verifiable data

### High Fidelity Analysis

Real-time analysis is displayed to clients through CarbonTrail's clear and concise Impact Dashboard. Easily navigated, reports detail common queries such as top emitting suppliers and categories, historical emissions data and a monthly breakdown by category.

Using the model of spend + activity based emissions calculation, CarbonTrail's science-based algorithm considers over **200 emissions factors** including those generated by a business' value-chain. Value chain emissions (Scope 3) make up the bulk of a company’s carbon footprint but are very hard to measure manually.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What certifications does CarbonTrail have?

**As a Company**: CarbonTrail are a member of FinTech, impact investor in the Sustainable Business Network and a supporter of Chapter Zero New Zealand. We have a number of advisors including a dedicated sustainability expert, [read more about the CarbonTrail team here](https://sales.carbontrail.co/about?hsLang=co).

**As a platform**: We are actively working on achieving certification ISO27001. We are aligned to the best practices set out by ISO27001.

Their ISO 27001 certification [can be downloaded here.](https://d0.awsstatic.com/certifications/iso_27001_global_certification.pdf)

### How much access would I have to my client's CarbonTrail data?

CarbonTrail Hub, provides a birds-eye view of your clients' emissions and allows you to pull reports for inclusion in existing  
financial updates. You may also access the client's CarbonTrail account as an advisor, to provide additional support.

### How much support does CarbonTrail provide?

Every business that signs on with CarbonTrail has direct access to our team via chat and email. There is also help documentation within the tool itself. 

As a partner, you can provide support and guidance to your clients. We will provide materials to assist you in this.

### How accurate is CarbonTrail?

Every exported report from CarbonTrail shows the factors used to reach the number, which can then be independently verified. The hybrid spend-based + activity-based model of calculation is an accepted method of generating an inventory.

Although some may claim otherwise, it is not possible to work out an “exact” carbon footprint for anything. Even the most accurate emissions calculations suffer from truncation errors – since the number of factors potentially influencing the carbon footprint of something is (literally) infinite, you always have to draw a line somewhere and sacrifice some amount of ‘accuracy’.

This means that, carbon footprinting exercises are therefore better or worse, as opposed to accurate or inaccurate.

### Is my data secure?

Yes, we use industry-standard encryption and data protection methodologies to ensure that your sensitive financial data is looked after.

We use Amazon Web Services for hosting and data management, often using their managed services which are guaranteed by Amazon themselves.

Finally, only your organisation’s expenditure data is imported to CarbonTrail. We access your accounting data as read-only, and our staff do not have access to your data without your explicit consent.

[Find out more about Security at CarbonTrail here.](https://sales.carbontrail.co/security?hsLang=co)

### How does the AI in CarbonTrail work?

CarbonTrail uses a number of data sources to produce as precise of an estimation of your organisation’s carbon footprint as possible. The types of industries where your organisation spends its money – and the amount of money you spend in them – will therefore influence the calculated emissions.
