The Intelligence Layer for Carbon Data, Combined with Reliable, High-Quality CO₂e Data: sustamize × ecodex

‍

As carbon accounting becomes more sophisticated, organizations face two key challenges: finding the right emission factors and ensuring those factors are reliable enough for Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs), Scope 3 reporting, and sustainability decision-making.

This is where ecodex and sustamize complement each other.

Ecodex brings together emission factors from a wide range of databases in one searchable platform, making it easy to discover, compare, and integrate carbon data into existing workflows. As one of the available data providers, sustamize contributes CO₂e datasets designed specifically for accurate Product Carbon Footprint calculations.

Together, organizations benefit from a streamlined workflow, from efficient emission factor discovery to high-quality carbon data that supports reliable sustainability reporting and product-leve decision-making.

Ecodex: the One-Stop-Shop to Master Carbon Data

‍

One of the biggest challenges in carbon accounting is navigating the growing number of emission factor databases. Different methodologies, regional datasets, and data formats make it difficult to identify the most appropriate emission factor for a specific use case.

Ecodex brings together more than 1.1 million emission factors from 44 public sources in a single searchable database. By providing broad coverage across different methodologies and geographies, users can efficiently identify and compare the most suitable emission factors for their specific use case, without being tied to a single data source.

Instead of manually searching through individual spreadsheets, PDFs, or separate databases, users can:

• search across multiple emission factor databases simultaneously
• compare emission factors from different methodologies side by side
• benchmark suppliers and alternatives with one click to identify lower-carbon solutions
• export emission factors directly into downstream workflows

For organizations managing large procurement datasets or Bills of Materials, ecodex also offers AI-assisted workflows. Through its AI matching capabilities and MCP server, procurement data, BOM lines, or activity data can be matched to emission factors at scale, complete with confidence scores and uncertainty ranges. In addition, structured ETL integrations enable carbon management software providers to consume emission factor data directly within their own applications.

Trusted CO₂e Data from sustamize, Available Through ecodex

‍

While ecodex simplifies the discovery and comparison of emission factors, the quality of the underlying data remains critical for reliable carbon accounting. As one of the data providers available through ecodex, sustamize delivers industrial-grade CO₂e data specifically designed for Product Carbon Footprint and Scope 3 calculations.

The sustamize database includes more than 10 million validated emission factors covering materials, components, manufacturing processes, logistics, electronics, packaging, and energy.

Unlike many static datasets, the database is updated twice a year, ensuring customers always work with current emission factors that reflect the latest developments in energy mixes, production processes, manufacturing technologies, mechanical equipment, and calculation methodologies.

Why sustamize Data Stands Out

‍

Reliable Product Carbon Footprints require more than generic emission factors. They depend on high-quality, transparent, and continuously maintained CO₂e data that accurately reflects real-world materials, production processes, and supply chains.

Within the ecodex ecosystem, sustamize stands out by providing high-quality, industrial-grade CO₂e data designed for reliable Product Carbon Footprints and Scope 3 calculations. Its comprehensive, regionalized, and continuously updated datasets help organizations build transparent carbon footprints while meeting increasing reporting and customer requirements. Key capabilities include:

• regionalized emission factors covering 240+ countries and sub-regions
• multiple CO₂e values for the same material or process (average, regional, minimum, maximum)
• enhanced electricity consumption mix datasets for more accurate regional calculations
• primary and recycled material scenarios to model circular economy strategies and compare sourcing options
• continuously updated datasets, refreshed twice a year to reflect the latest available data and methodological improvements

This allows organizations to model realistic sourcing and manufacturing scenarios instead of relying on simplified assumptions. Whether evaluating alternative suppliers, comparing primary and recycled materials, or analyzing regional production locations, companies gain a much clearer understanding of the drivers behind their Product Carbon Footprints.

As a result, sustainability, procurement, engineering,and product design teams can generate more accurate Product Carbon Footprints(PCFs) and improve the quality of their Scope 3 emissions calculations. The detailed CO₂e data helps identify emission hotspots, benchmark materials and suppliers, evaluate lower-carbon alternatives, and make informed decisions across the entire product lifecycle.

The demand for this level of transparency continues to grow. Regulatory requirements such as the CSRD, CBAM, and upcoming Digital Product Passports (DPP) are driving the need for consistent, traceable carbon data. At the same time, OEMs, manufacturers, and customers are increasingly requesting product-level emissions data from their suppliers, making robust CO₂e data a key enabler for compliance, customer requirements, and decarbonization efforts alike.

Complementary Strengths for Smarter Carbon Data Management

‍

Reliable carbon accounting requires both efficient access to emission factors and high-quality data that can be trusted for calculations and reporting. This is where ecodex and sustamize complement each other.

Ecodex simplifies the discovery, comparison, and integration of emission factors from a wide range of sources, while sustamize provides validated, continuously updated CO₂e data designed for Product Carbon Footprints, Scope 3 calculations, and sustainability reporting.

Together, they create a seamless workflow, from identifying the right emission factor to building reliable, audit-ready carbon calculations.

From Emission Factor Discovery to Actionable Carbon Insights

‍

Finding emission factors is only the first step. Thereal value lies in turning high-quality emissions data into meaningful sustainability insights and informed business decisions.

By combining ecodex's intelligent emission factor discovery with sustamize's validated CO₂e datasets, organizations can streamline the entire carbon data workflow. Instead of spending valuable time searching across multiple databases or validating data quality, teams can quickly identify suitable emission factors and confidently use them as the foundation for Product Carbon Footprints, Scope 3 calculations, and sustainability reporting.

This not only accelerates carbon accounting processes but also improves consistency across departments. Sustainability, procurement, cost engineering, and product development teams can work from the same trusted data foundation to benchmark suppliers, compare materials and production scenarios, identify emission hotspots, and evaluate lower-carbon alternatives.

Together, sustamize and ecodex enable companies to move beyond manual data collection and build a scalable, transparent foundation for carbon accounting, supporting regulatory compliance, customer requirements, and informed product and sourcing decisions.
