SMEs are increasingly asked to provide CO₂e information — without having the means to respond.
Buyers, banks and insurers routinely request CO₂e figures during onboarding, procurement and risk screening processes. Producing a full carbon inventory requires detailed activity data, consultants and audits — resources most SMEs cannot mobilize on demand.
Certif-Scope provides an instant, indicative spend-based CO₂e attestation generated directly from annual expenses. A standardized format reviewers can interpret immediately — verifiable independently and usable across institutional workflows.
Aligned with institutional workflows
Designed for procurement, banking and insurance screening processes that require fast, indicative CO₂e values.
Transparent spend-based method
Uses annual spending (€) and stable emission factor sources. No audits, surveys or operational data required.
Consistent across suppliers
Identical structure enables fast comparison between vendors, reducing ambiguity and review time.
Why SMEs Choose Certif-Scope
Certif-Scope provides a unified way for SMEs to deliver CO₂e information when requested by procurement teams, banks or insurers. One standardized document, produced instantly from transparent financial inputs — without surveys, auditors or technical reporting.
Uniform structure
Every supplier presents CO₂e information in the same standardized format, eliminating layout discrepancies and simplifying review for institutions.
Minimal workload
Only one annual spending input is required. No operational data (kWh, km, litres) and no repeated clarifications — reducing administrative friction for SMEs.
Optimised for review
Structured for procurement, banking and ESG screening, ensuring reviewers receive clear, comparable and immediately actionable information.
Certif-Scope standardises CO₂e information exchange across suppliers, improving clarity for reviewers and reducing friction for SMEs.

Methodology overview
High-level description of the spend-based approach applied, including scope, assumptions and references. Detailed calculation logic and technical definitions are documented separately.
Emission factor sources
Referenced emission factor sources with dataset versioning and publication year (ADEME, DEFRA, IPCC), enabling transparency, reproducibility and institutional acceptance.
Verification & integrity block
Built-in verification elements allow independent third-party validation of authenticity and integrity without platform dependency or data retention. No financial input data is stored or transmitted.
Indicative spend-based estimate. Not CSRD/ESRS compliant and not a substitute for a verified or audited greenhouse gas inventory. Results depend entirely on user-provided financial inputs.
