How to integrate carbon management into corporate sustainability goals?
Getting Started
Integration starts with calculating your carbon footprint across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. From there, companies can define reduction targets (e.g. SBTi), align actions with broader ESG and net zero commitments, and embed tracking into regular reporting cycles. Carbondeck simplifies this process by centralizing data, automating calculations, and ensuring outputs are audit ready and aligned with global standards.
What are carbon credits and carbon offsets?
Emission Reduction
Carbon credits are certified units that represent the reduction or removal of one metric ton of CO2e through climate projects such as reforestation, renewable energy, or methane capture.
Carbon offsets refer to the use of those credits to compensate for emissions you cannot yet eliminate — typically as part of a carbon neutrality or net zero strategy.
Put simply:
• A carbon credit is a verified unit of past climate impact you can purchase or trade.
• A carbon offset is the action of neutralizing your emissions through reductions or removals.
Carbondeck helps you track and report both — ensuring your mitigation efforts are traceable, aligned with global standards, and ready for audits.

Why is carbon accounting important for companies?
GHG Accounting
Carbon accounting enables companies to understand, manage, and reduce their environmental impact. It supports compliance with emerging regulations (like CBAM and CSRD), meets investor and stakeholder expectations, and strengthens climate-related disclosures (e.g. CDP, IFRS, SBTi). It also helps identify emission hotspots, cut costs, and build credibility in sustainability communications.
What payment methods do you accept?
Pricing and Plans
Carbondeck accepts major credit cards for all paid plans.
For Enterprise Plan users, bank wire transfer is also available as a payment option, offering greater flexibility for organizations with custom billing or procurement processes.

How to measure and report an organization’s carbon footprint?
GHG Accounting
Measuring a carbon footprint involves three key steps:
To report your footprint:
With Carbondeck, measuring and reporting your footprint becomes a guided, automated process. Emission sources and activity data are uploaded or auto-extracted, then matched to the right scopes and emission factors by AI Agents. The Reporting Officer ensures all outputs are structured under recognized standards like the GHG Protocol or ISO 14064, and generates audit-ready reports or exports with a single prompt. Instead of chasing data and formatting disclosures, your team moves directly from raw files to credible, regulator-ready results.
1.
Identify emission sources across your operations and value chain — including direct fuel use (Scope 1), purchased electricity (Scope 2), and upstream/downstream activities (Scope 3).
2.
Collect activity data, such as utility bills, fuel records, procurement spend, or logistics volumes.
3.
Apply emission factors from recognized databases (e.g. DEFRA, IPCC, Türkiye Ulusal Sera Gazı Emisyon Envanteri) to calculate total emissions in CO2 equivalents.
To report your footprint:
●
Organize emissions data by scope and category using frameworks like the GHG Protocol or ISO 14064.
●
Report through voluntary platforms such as CDP questionnaires or include disclosures in mandatory reports under regulations like CSRD (or IFRS S2 where adopted).

What’s the difference between carbon offsets and carbon removal?
Emission Reduction
●
Carbon offsets generally prevent new emissions (e.g. funding clean energy or avoiding deforestation).
●
Carbon removal actively extracts CO2 from the atmosphere (e.g. reforestation, direct air capture).
Both can be used to balance emissions, but removals are essential for achieving true net zero.
How does Carbondeck use AI to simplify carbon management?
Getting Started
AI is at the core of Carbondeck’s most advanced plan — turning complex carbon management tasks into fully automated workflows.
In Carbondeck AI Agents, AI doesn’t just assist — it acts like a built-in sustainability team:
Each Agent is built for a distinct sustainability task — together, they transform carbon management from fragmented and manual to fast, connected, and actionable.
With Carbondeck AI Agents, you move faster, reduce errors, and turn sustainability goals into a fully operational workflow.
In Carbondeck AI Agents, AI doesn’t just assist — it acts like a built-in sustainability team:
●
The Data Coordinator Agent extracts data from invoices, spreadsheets, and PDFs — no formatting, no manual input
●
The Climate Analyst Agent maps emissions to the correct scopes and categories, applying the right emission factors automatically
●
The Reporting Officer Agent generates audit ready reports aligned with standards like GHG Protocol, ISO 14064, CDP, and IFRS S2
●
The Impact Strategist Agent analyzes your footprint and provides actionable reduction recommendations, tailored to your sector and emission sources
With Carbondeck AI Agents, you move faster, reduce errors, and turn sustainability goals into a fully operational workflow.
Can I switch between plans at any time?
Pricing and Plans
Yes, you can switch between plans at any time. There is no commitment.
Are renewable energy certificates (RECs) the same as carbon offsets?
Emission Reduction
No. RECs prove that electricity came from renewable sources and is used to reduce Scope 2 emissions under market-based accounting. Offsets compensate for emissions elsewhere and are applied to any scope. Both support climate goals, but they serve different functions.
