Carbon controlling for industrial manufacturers.

EU ETS, CBAM, CSRD, and customer PCF requirements are converging on the same question: what are your emissions, and can you prove it? Cozero gives manufacturers the carbon controlling system to answer that question and manage the financial exposure behind it.

Carbon is becoming a financial variable for manufacturers. Most are not ready.

For industrial manufacturers, carbon is no longer just a reporting obligation. EU ETS requires direct emission allowances for Scope 1, and free allowances are phasing to zero by 2034. CBAM is creating direct cost pressure on companies importing covered goods into the EU, and on the suppliers they buy from, who are increasingly asked to provide cradle-to-gate carbon data.

Large customers, OEMs, retailers, procurement teams, require product carbon footprints from their suppliers. CSRD makes emissions disclosure mandatory for companies above threshold. Each of these carries a direct financial consequence. The question is no longer whether to manage carbon, it is whether you have the system to do it with the rigor that regulators, customers, and investors now require.

The tools manufacturers need to control carbon, not just report it.

We empower sustainability, supply chain, and operations professionals in the industrial manufacturing sector to enhance carbon reporting, decarbonize their operations and supply chains, and meet regulatory requirements.

Build the data foundation, across operations, products, and supply chain.

Centralize Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions across all production sites, business units, and legal entities.

Map activity data from energy consumption, production volumes, and material inputs to an emission factor database built from industry-specific references.

Improve data quality continuously, from spend-based estimates to primary data as your program matures.

Manage Scope 3 and supplier carbon risk.

Map your supply chain structure and identify which suppliers drive the majority of your Scope 3 exposure.

Improve Scope 3 supplier data quality through structured supplier data sharing in the Cozero PCF module, combined with customer success engineering for program design and rollout.

Replace spend-based estimates with supplier-specific factors, improving data quality and auditability under CSRD and LkSG.

Calculate and communicate product carbon footprints, at the level customers and regulators require.

Automate PCF calculation across the product lifecycle, from raw material inputs to manufacturing and end-of-life.

Produce cradle-to-gate product carbon footprints with the methodology rigor your customers and regulators increasingly require, including the data your CBAM workflows depend on.

Share verified PCF data with customers who require it as a procurement condition, with a methodology they can audit.

Prioritize decarbonization investments, with the financial metrics to justify them.

Identify the emission hotspots that carry the highest regulatory and financial exposure, EU ETS allowance costs, carbon pricing risk, customer pressure.

Build a decarbonization roadmap with phased investment scenarios.

Evaluate each action by carbon impact, ROI, and payback period, so capital allocation decisions are grounded in business logic, not sustainability ambition alone.

Sector-specific depth across industrial manufacturing.

Machinery and equipment

We enable insights into emissions across production processes, use of sold products, energy and resource optimization, aligning sustainability with financial goals, and saving time and resources.

Electrical and electronic products

We support manufacturers' efforts in carbon reporting throughout the supply chain and additionally provide methods for calculating emissions from the use of sold products.

Chemicals manufacturers

We help chemical companies simplify data collection, ensure compliance with regulations, and aid in risk assessment and mitigation to reduce operational risks while driving sustainability efforts.

Automotive components

We help automobile manufacturers and component suppliers accurately measure and reduce their carbon emissions, meet compliance requirements, and optimize sustainability efforts.

Jane Müller

Sustainability Manager

At Vogelsang we are aware of our responsibility to present and future generations. A significant part of sustainable management is the company's internal greenhouse gas emissions. This makes it all the more important not only to be aware of the company's CO2e footprint, but also to reduce it in a targeted and continuous manner.

Isa Kohn

Manager Climate Strategy & Disclosure

The Cozero software is an essential tool for us to efficiently measure our emissions and target progress. It makes the data collection process much easier, as we can access the latest calculation methods and emission factors at any time. In view of increasing regulations, the decision to use a software solution was crucial in order to bundle resources and focus on the most important tasks.

Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitspreis

Jury of the German Sustainability Award

What is remarkable is the high quality and transparency of the emission data, which can be managed in a simple and comprehensible way, thus facilitating decisions for the future. Alongside digitization, climate protection is one of the major transformation challenges of our time that all companies will have to face sooner or later. There is no question that this can only work in tune with economic success.

Dominique Breuer

Sustainability Manager at OMR

We don't just want to understand what OMR's carbon footprint is. We want to work specifically on reducing our emissions significantly. This year we laid the foundation by creating as much transparency as possible.

Lutz Fricke

Head of Sustainability at MOSOLF SE & Co. KG

At MOSOLF, we are transforming our business model by “measuring, improving and talking”. The basis of every improvement is reliable measurement. With Cozero we work very closely on the constant development of our carbon footprint. Long-term and trusting cooperation is important to me personally. Because this is the only way we can improve sustainably. In this sense, Cozero is exactly the partner for us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can your software help us prepare for regulations like the Supply Chain Act and CSRD?

Absolutely. Our software is designed to keep you compliant with evolving environmental regulations. We provide timely updates and automate data collection and reporting processes to ensure your submissions meet the emissions disclosure requirements related to the SCA and CSRD.

Where should we start with our decarbonization efforts using your software?

The Cozero software offers a comprehensive suite of tools to begin your decarbonization journey. Start by collecting accurate emissions data, then identify areas for improvement using our reporting and analytics features. You can create tailored decarbonization strategies based on your specific reduction goals and priorities.

Can your software provide detailed Scope 3 emissions data for our manufacturing company?

Yes, the Cozero platform offers detailed Scope 3 emissions data, allowing you to analyze emissions across your entire value chain. You can identify hotspots, collaborate with suppliers, and make informed decisions to reduce your carbon footprint effectively.

Can your software assist us in complying with the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)?

Absolutely. Our software simplifies the process of calculating and reporting carbon emissions associated with your manufacturing operations, helping you accurately measure emissions at a cradle-to-gate level. This is a crucial prerequisite for CBAM compliance and ensuring transparency in your carbon footprint reporting. With our supplier engagement module, you can invite suppliers to share CBAM relevant data points and calculate a PCF for the CBAM goods they produce.
