The problem

Regulatory compliance makes carbon footprinting complex

GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, BEGES, ISO 14064, CSRD: each framework has its own scope boundaries, emission factors and documentation requirements. The first CSRD deadlines are already live for large companies, with mid-sized businesses coming into scope from 2026. Without a dedicated tool, producing a footprint that is simultaneously compliant across frameworks is a full-time project.

The Kabaun solution

A structured, documented and compliant footprint

  • Full Scope 1 coverage (direct emissions)
  • Scope 2: energy consumption (market-based and location-based)
  • Scope 3 upstream and downstream: 15 GHG Protocol categories
  • ADEME
  • DEFRA and EPA emission factors built in
  • Exportable PDF report compliant with BEGES
Regulatory compliance

Ready for legal obligations

Kabaun structures your footprint under the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and ADEME methodology, generates a BEGES-compliant PDF export, and produces the structured data required for your CSRD sustainability report. Reduction trajectories are compatible with an SBTi-aligned approach.

How it works

A complete footprint in 3 structured steps

Step 1
Import your data by scope
Activity data is imported and categorised by scope (1, 2, 3) and by entity. Kabaun handles multi-subsidiary consolidation.
Step 2
Kabaun applies emission factors
ADEME, DEFRA and EPA factors are applied automatically. You can use your own factors for specific processes or suppliers.
Step 3
Export your compliant report
BEGES-compliant PDF, structured CSRD export and auditor file are generated in one click from your dashboard.
Frequently asked questions

What our customers ask

Are emission factors kept up to date?
Yes. Kabaun integrates ADEME Base Carbone, DEFRA and EPA databases, updated annually. You can also configure factors specific to your suppliers or industrial processes.
Can we produce a footprint across multiple subsidiaries?
Yes. Kabaun handles multi-entity consolidation: individual entity footprints and a consolidated group footprint, with full control over included and excluded scopes.
Is the footprint auditable by a CSRD statutory auditor?
Every calculation is documented with its source, factor and assumptions. The report includes a methodological annex. Read-only auditor access is available on request.
