For years, companies have relied on spreadsheets to track and calculate carbon emissions. But as carbon disclosure requirements grow more complex across global value chains and ESG frameworks, manual Excel workflows are becoming unsustainable. Spreadsheets may work for basic Scope 1 and 2 calculations, but they quickly break down when companies try to track Scope 3 emissions across multiple facilities, suppliers, and logistics chains.
Inconsistent formats, version control issues, and data entry errors are common. Worse, Excel doesn’t scale. As reporting standards evolve, businesses find themselves buried in outdated sheets, struggling to meet audit demands and regulatory timelines.
