Carbon Accounting Without the Locked Inherited Spreadsheet

## The problemMany CPG sustainability teams still calculate emissions in an inherited Excel workbook with locked formulas no one fully owns. It does not scale to multiple facilities, customer disclosure requests turn into manual assembly drills, and any data error is invisible until it embarrasses a leader.## What this app doesA governed carbon accounting workspace. Senior leaders open it to the company-wide footprint for the current period and drill by location, scope, or time to investigate trends. Inputs flow through a structured form (no more locked cells), totals recalculate automatically against embedded emissions factors, and a disclosure-ready report assembles on demand. A freshness indicator shows when each location was last updated.## Key takeaways- Replaces an unowned, locked spreadsheet with a governed system- Multi-location scaling without rebuilding formulas- Auto-assembled customer disclosure reports- Period-over-period progress against reduction targets## Who it's forSustainability, operations, and executive teams at consumer goods and food manufacturers facing customer-driven carbon disclosure requests across multiple production sites.
