ctrl+s GmbH

At ctrl+s, our mission is to provide scalable sustainability management solutions for global supply chains. Our international partners and clients, including industry leaders like Siemens, Siemens Energy, Bosch, and Bayer, rely on our data and methodologies for their annual reporting. Decarbonization is a major challenge that businesses face today: they must accomplish a great deal in a short period of time.

The biggest share of carbon emissions arises somewhere along the supply chain, forcing companies to invest a lot of time and resources into tedious data hunts. ctrl+s provides a short cut: cutting-edge solutions to help achieve transparency of global supply chain emissions. Our database item+s provides a unique set of over 150,000 consistent emission factors covering all imaginable products and services, while considering the distinct performance of all 250 countries in the world.

All emission factors are updated every quarter. item+s offers in-depth insights into the root causes rather than only providing overall impact or risk figures. In contrast to alternative approaches, item+s stands out for its high efficiency and pragmatic utilization of readily available procurement data.

Its hybrid approach effectively bridges the gap between spend-based and LCA-based methodologies, simplifying scope 3 accounting. With its strong alignment with standards like the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, CDP, Science Based Targets initiative, item+s gains trust and reliability, ensuring its credibility as a solution for sustainable supply chain management. To accurately calculate emissions, simply integrate our dataset with your readily available spend data and multiply our precise emission factor with the spend volume of each corresponding spend item.

It’s a straightforward process that ensures accurate measurement of your environmental impacts. AVAILABLE DATABASE TABLES: Delivering unparalleled insights into complex supply chains requires extensive data. Our model consists of several billion data rows, enabling a granular view of supply chains.

However, we understand that not all use cases require such a level of detail. Therefore, we offer database tables with varying levels of supply chain information to cater to different needs. CARBON_AGGR: aggregated emission factors (EF) (cradle-to-gate) CARBON_AGGR_MIN_BOUNDARY: aggregated EFs (minimum boundary of GHG Protocol) CARBON_SCOPE: emission breakdown by scope of supplier, following GHG Protocol CARBON_COUNTRY: emission breakdown by carbon emitting country CARBON_SECTOR: emission breakdown by carbon emitting sectors within the supply chain CARBON_EXTENDED: all emission details combined, by far the biggest table AVAILABLE DATABASE FIELDS: Please see our documentation for the full list of data attributes.

The most relevant database fields are the greenhouse gas emissions (expressed in CO2 equivalents) available for each emission factor: Total greenhouse gas emissions CO2 emissions only CH4 emissions only N2O emissions only HFCs emissions only CFCs emissions only CF4 emissions only SF6 emissions only Other various GHG emissions only LIMITATIONS OF SAMPLE DATASET: The trial covers only one year / quarter as a time reference. Emission factors are limited to a random sample (few dozens) to showcase the breadth of our solution. The larger data tables have been restricted to a single emission factor, introducing you to the drilldown capabilities (depth of solution).
