The pressure is real

Climate reporting is becoming mandatory — and most small businesses have no idea where to start.

You don't have a sustainability team. You have a business to run. But the requests are arriving — from regulators, from big customers, from your own supply chain — and a spreadsheet of spend estimates won't survive an audit.

Mandatory
AASB S2 reporting is phasing down to smaller Australian companies — it's a question of when, not if.
Penalties
Misleading or unsubstantiated climate claims carry real legal and financial consequences.
No team
SMEs are expected to report like enterprises — without the consultants, software, or expertise they have.
How it works

From a messy bill to a defensible report.
In three steps.

No integrations to wire up. No clean data required. It works with the documents you already have.

01

Upload any bill

Electricity, gas, fuel, water — a photo, a scan, or a PDF. Even crumpled, real-world documents. Drop it in and you're done.

02

We read the real numbers

OCR extracts the actual consumption. An AI classifier identifies what it is. Then we multiply by the correct official emission factor for your region.

2,847 kWh × 0.68 = 1.94 tCO₂e
03

Get a defensible report

A clear Scope 1, 2 & 3 report you can hand to an auditor, a customer, or a regulator — with every figure traceable back to its source document.

Why CarbonBooks is different

Most carbon tools guess. We measure.

The market is crowded with software that says the same thing. Here is the part that actually matters.

01

Document-first, not spend-based

Most tools estimate emissions from how much money you spent. We read the real consumption — kWh, litres, MJ — off the actual bill. That's the difference between a guess and a measurement, and only a real measurement drops when you switch to a greener supplier.

02

Audit-grade and defensible

Every number traces back to its source document and the official emission factor that produced it. When an auditor, regulator, or customer asks "where did this figure come from?" — you have the answer, line by line.

03

Genuinely affordable, self-serve

SME-focused competitors often start above $10,000/year and require a consultant. CarbonBooks starts free, paid plans are $59–$349/month, and there's no sales call to get going. Sign up and start uploading today.

04

Built for the mandate that's coming

Australian businesses face mandatory climate reporting under AASB S2 / ASRS, phasing down to smaller companies. We're built Australia-first with the right local factors — then extend to the EU and beyond. Country-aware by design.

ROADMAP
Trust & accuracy

"Audit-grade" isn't a slogan. It's how the numbers are built.

Official emission factors

We use authoritative, jurisdiction-specific factors — DCCEEW NGA for Australia, AIB & EEA for Europe — never made-up averages.

Every figure traceable

Click any number in your report and follow it straight back to the source document and the factor that produced it.

Immutable records

Documents and line items are stored as a tamper-evident ledger, so your history stands up to review.

CarbonBooks produces defensible data to support professional and auditor review — it does not replace it, and it does not guarantee compliance. You stay in control of what you report.

Pricing

Starts free. Scales with you. No sales call.
