How it works

Carbon Footprint Inventory

Carbon reporting, at most companies, is an annual fire drill. Spreadsheets rebuilt from scratch. Emission factors hunted down by email. One person holding the whole thing together. Until they leave.

Bardo turns that into a continuous process. One methodology, kept current, owned by the system. Year after year, the numbers stay comparable.

The difference

Others estimate.
We reconstruct.

From financial data and documents, Bardo rebuilds every underlying activity, by finding out what emission each purchase caused. Producing a Carbon Footprint Inventory, managed entirely for you. Enabled by reasoning AI agents, and quality assured by human specialists. So you can report with confidence, act with precision, and move faster toward real reductions.

Built for:

GHG Protocol aligned

CSRD-ready reporting

SOC 2 Type II

End-to-end encryption

Hosted in the EU

Two things change

Carbon accounting becomes
infrastructure.

A standardised way of working.

Comparable, every year.

Same method, same factors, every cycle. So trends actually mean something.

The methodology stays.

Even when people leave. It lives in Bardo, not in a consultant's head.

Compliance, by default.

CSRD, ESRS, GHG Protocol. Reporting is part of the workflow, not a separate project.

An AI researcher, not manual work.

Every source, accounted for.

Bardo maps every emission. Anything missing gets flagged.

No more chasing documents.

Bardo reads your invoices, finds supplier LCAs, and assigns the best available emission factors. The hunting is done for you.

Factors update themselves.

Emission factors stay current automatically. No more manual lookups.

What you get every cycle.

01/ACTIVITY

Every line, every factor.

Every purchase, shipment, and service as a real emission driver. Each line carries its own factor and explicit scope decisions, with a link back to the source document.

How an invoice becomes an emission line

02/SNAPSHOT

The locked snapshot.

Reports and breakdowns frozen at filing time. Compare cycle to cycle. Roll back to any prior period. The numbers don't shift after you've signed.

03/AUDIT

Ready for the auditor.

Evidence packs ready for external review. Auditors sample directly to the source documents through the audit trail.

How calculations are graded and audited

04/EXPORT

Take the data anywhere.

Full activity list as CSV for your reporting tool, BI dashboard, or finance system. Before-and-after snapshots of every adjustment: who changed what, when, and why.

How Bardo works with your data in detail

What it's not.

Not spend-based estimates.

We don't multiply your spend by an average and call it carbon. Product-level calculations, with real factors per line.

Not a tool to operate.

No console to manage. No software to learn. Bardo runs as a managed service and delivers the inventory to you.

Not a spreadsheet.

Spreadsheets fail audits the moment someone copies, edits, or merges them. Bardo's record is locked, traceable, and reproducible.

Multiple teams, one truth

What changes for the people who use it.

Sustainability

Stop managing data pipelines and start reducing emissions. Bardo handles collection, mapping and factor updates so you can focus on the work that actually moves the needle.

Finance

Get audit-ready numbers without chasing down the sustainability team. Bardo produces consistent, comparable figures each cycle, with a clear methodology you can explain to any stakeholder.

Procurement

Evaluate suppliers on verified carbon data, not estimates. Bardo surfaces emission factors per supplier so you can make sourcing decisions with real numbers behind them.

FAQ

Common questions.

Data and integrations

What data do we need to get started?

We work with the financial data your company already keeps. No restructuring or formatting work required on your side. We handle the extraction and structuring of what's relevant for carbon calculation.

Do we need a full integration from day one?

No. Most teams start with a small sample of your existing data to validate the output, then expand to recurring data flows over time. You can be up and running quickly without technical integration work.

Methodology, accuracy, and auditability

How do you ensure calculation quality?

Bardo calculates emissions at the product or service level, not from spend-based averages. Every emission factor is graded on a clear 5-level scale based on data specificity, so you always know how confident a number is. Specialists review uncertain cases, and every step is logged.

Can the results be audited and explained?

Yes. Every emission number traces back to its source: the activity, the supplier, the emission factor, and the calculation behind it. Teams and auditors can inspect any step end to end.

Product workflow and usability

Can we drill down to specific lines and suppliers?

Yes. The inventory can be sliced by cost centre, business unit, supplier, product, or category. Finance, sustainability, and procurement each get the view they need without a data analyst.

How does the workflow work in practice?

You share your existing data through our secure dataroom. Our AI extracts, structures, and calculates emissions at high granularity. Specialists review uncertain cases. You get a complete inventory with simple analytics your team can use directly for reporting, reductions, and procurement decisions.

Security and compliance

How is our data protected?

SOC 2 Type II certified, hosted in Sweden on Azure. Nothing leaves the EU. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Role-based access, multi-factor authentication, and immutable audit logs are standard. Customer data is never used for AI model training. Full status and policy details at trust.bardo.se.

Try for yourself

See it on your own data first.

We don't ask you to commit. We start with a capability demo on a sample of 500 to 1,000 of your invoices and show you exactly what your full Carbon Footprint Inventory will look like. Real numbers from your real data. Not a slide deck.
