Carbon challenges in the Retail.

Dominant Scope 3 (purchases & distribution)

For a retailer, 85-95% of emissions are in Scope 3: production of goods, supplier transport, customer use. Kabaun automatically maps your purchases to GHG Protocol categories.

Multi-brand & multi-site

Dozens or hundreds of points of sale, multiple brands, regional warehouses: Kabaun consolidates the report of each entity and produces a unified group report.

Packaging & end-of-life products

Plastic packaging, distribution waste, product returns: Kabaun integrates the emissions linked to the product life cycle under GHG Protocol Scope 3 category 12.

As a distributor with hundreds of suppliers, we thought our Scope 3 was impossible to measure. Kabaun mapped it in a few weeks, without a dedicated CSR team.

Your questions about Kabaun for your sector.

Our Scope 3 is very extensive, hundreds of suppliers. How does Kabaun handle that?

Kabaun maps your purchases to GHG Protocol categories by importing your accounting data (FEC, ERP export). The Klem AI automatically identifies the most significant line items and the suppliers to prioritise.

We have 80 points of sale across 3 regions. Is the consolidation really automatic?

Yes. Each point of sale is an entity in Kabaun. The consolidated group report is generated automatically with the ability to filter by brand, region or store format.

We fall under the CSRD scope next year. How much time do we have to be ready?

With Kabaun, the first report is operational in 6 weeks. That is more than enough to cover the current financial year and be ready for your first CSRD report, whatever your starting point.
