Step Up To the Net Zero Challenge

Manufacturers are in a unique position to help with Net Zero because they can decide what to design (low carbon (Co2e) products), where to source raw materials, what method of manufacturing to use, how to distribute, and even how to influence reuse or recycling. But the key to this is accurate carbon (Co2e) data.

  • Simplify the complex calculations associated with carbon accounting
  • Automate upstream (supply chain) carbon data collection
  • Establish Carbon Cost Rollup methods in the manufacturing process
  • Transform carbon tracking by treating Co2 emissions as a currency Integrate with Climatiq’s carbon footprint calculation API
  • Use Grow BI to create carbon footprint dashboards and bespoke reports
  • Post carbon emissions into Statistical GL accounts
  • Improve efficiency—reduce raw materials, energy use, and waste
  • Support for RoHS/WEEE standards
  • Promote competitiveness by publishing product-level carbon emissions

Enhance Supplier Collaboration and Accountability

By automating carbon data collection and integrating with tools like Climatiq, Kinetic fosters stronger collaboration with suppliers.

  • Encourage suppliers to provide more accurate and timely emissions data

  • Reduce manual follow-ups and data gaps in Scope 3 reporting
  • Build a more transparent and accountable supply chain

Accelerate Compliance with Evolving Sustainability Regulations

With built-in templates and customisable reporting tools, Kinetic helps businesses stay ahead of regulatory requirements.

  • Quickly adapt to new regional or industry-specific carbon reporting mandates
  • Generate audit-ready reports with traceable data sources
  • Reduce the risk of non-compliance penalties or reputational damage

Empower Data-Driven Sustainability Strategy

Kinetic dashboards and statistical tools turn carbon data into actionable insights.

  • Identify high-emission processes or suppliers and prioritise improvements
  • Track progress towards Net Zero goals with real-time metrics
  • Align sustainability efforts with broader business KPIs

Differentiate Through Transparent, Product-Level Carbon Labelling

With product-level emissions tracking, companies can lead with transparency in competitive bids.

  • Provide carbon labelling on packaging and shipping documents
  • Support eco-conscious customers in making informed purchasing decisions
  • Strengthen brand reputation and customer loyalty through verified sustainability claims

Mitigate climate change and help yourself on the road to Net Zero

Our simplified approach to environmental accountability and reporting at the product level helps you to mitigate climate change by establishing a prioritization of emissions reductions in your production activities, as well as giving you leverage with upstream suppliers, and to create new ways to compete based on carbon transparency.

Automated Carbon Data Capture from Procurement and Logistics

Capture carbon-related data directly from vendor invoices, purchase orders, and goods receipts—including transportation method and distance—using built-in Kinetic fields.

Embedded Carbon Intelligence via Climatiq Integration

Leverage Climatiq’s carbon footprint API to estimate emissions from components, materials, and energy use—even when supplier data is incomplete.
End-to-End Carbon Tracking Across Manufacturing

Track and calculate carbon emissions throughout the production lifecycle using the Bill of Materials (BOM) and Bill of Operations (BOO), including raw materials, energy, and labour inputs.

Carbon-Aware Costing and Variance Reporting

Treat carbon like a cost by integrating emissions into standard BOM/BOO processes and reporting carbon variations alongside financial metrics

Financial-Grade Carbon Accounting

Post emissions into Statistical GL accounts to enable rigorous, period-over-period sustainability reporting—mirroring financial accounting practices.

Advanced Sustainability Reporting with Grow

Use Grow to generate:

  • GHG reports (Scope 1, 2, 3 + 15 subcategories)
  • Carbon intensity reports (e.g., per turnover, employee, or factory area)
  • Bespoke sustainability dashboards tailored to business needs
Product-Level Carbon Emissions for Competitive Advantage

Calculate and display carbon emissions at the product level, supporting transparency in quotes, RFIs/RFPs, and customer communications.

Compliance Support for Environmental Standards

Support compliance with environmental directives such as RoHS and WEEE, and carry carbon data through to shipping labels using Quick Ship.
