In supply chains exporting to the EU, carbon data is now a condition of shipment. Buyer CSRD readiness, supply-chain due-diligence directives — once the demand lands “from the next shipment,” answers filled with average factors will not pass.
The problem is verifiability. EU due diligence asks “where did this number come from.” Average factors have no basis to answer. Without measured activity data for the export logistics leg, you have data but it still won’t pass.
Calculate the carbon of export logistics from measured activity data. LCS Cloud takes the carrier’s measurement, computes it under ISO 14083, and seals the basis so it can be traced back on a verification request.
The result is verifiable data that drops straight into CSRD and ISSB reporting. Because the basis is sealed to measurement, you present the same number before an EU buyer’s supply-chain due diligence and an audit.
Frequently asked
Both frameworks require Scope 3 supply-chain disclosure, and for manufacturers and exporters logistics is a large part of it. Average-factor estimates struggle to meet the verifiability requirement.
The demand arrives at the pace of “from the next shipment.” A measurement system does not stand up overnight, so it is safer to build the activity-data collection structure before the demand lands.
