Cloud, devices,
content delivery.
The largest share of emissions in IT, media and telecoms sits in Scope 3, defined by cloud infrastructure, device manufacturing, content delivery networks, employee devices. CarbonTool structures digital supply chain emissions so your data is traceable, methodology-backed and ready for disclosure.

Understand the Process
Cloud and data centre emissions
Purchased cloud services, co-location facilities and on-premise data centres all generate Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions. CarbonTool maps energy consumption to emissions by provider, region and workload, using actual PUE and grid intensity data where available.
Device lifecycle and hardware
Manufactured devices, such as laptops, servers, network equipment, smartphones, carry significant embodied emissions before they are switched on. CarbonTool calculates Scope 3 Category 2 and 11 across your device fleet, from procurement through end-of-life.
Content delivery and networks
Data transmission, CDN infrastructure and telecom network operations consume measurable energy at scale. CarbonTool quantifies network-based emissions per traffic volume, service type and geography, giving operational decisions an emissions dimension.
Regulatory and investor reporting
CSRD, SBTi sector pathways and major enterprise procurement requirements are converging on verified Scope 3 data from digital suppliers. CarbonTool produces audit-ready disclosures structured for each framework, not assembled manually under deadline pressure.
Built for digital infrastructure complexity
IT, media and telecoms emissions data sits across cloud billing exports, hardware procurement records, energy invoices and network operations reports. CarbonTool centralises it into one structured inventory, calculated by recognised methodology and continuously maintained, not rebuilt each reporting cycle.
Map your digital emissions inventory
Connect cloud provider data, energy bills, device procurement records and network operations data into a single Scope 1, 2 and 3 inventory. CarbonTool applies the correct emission factors by provider, grid region and equipment type. Automatically.
Quantify Scope 3 across your supply chain
Hardware manufacturers, software vendors, cloud providers and content partners all contribute to your Scope 3 footprint. CarbonTool structures supplier-level data requests and spend-based proxies to build a complete inventory and tracks accuracy as primary data replaces estimates.

CarbonTool ingests cloud billing exports and maps consumption data to emissions using provider-specific emission factors, regional grid intensity values and PUE data where disclosed. For providers without granular data, recognised proxies maintain inventory completeness. As providers improve their own reporting, your inventory accuracy improves automatically without rebuilding the calculation from scratch.
Yes. CarbonTool calculates Scope 3 Category 2 (capital goods) and Category 11 (use of sold products, where applicable) using manufacturer lifecycle assessment data or recognised proxy factors by device type and specification. This covers laptops, servers, network equipment and mobile devices, applied at fleet level or per procurement event.
SBTi requires companies to set emissions reduction targets covering Scope 1, 2 and material Scope 3 categories. For IT, media and telecoms, the material categories typically include purchased goods and services, use of sold products and upstream energy. CarbonTool structures your baseline inventory to the standard required for SBTi submission and tracks progress against targets as data is updated.
CarbonTool quantifies content delivery and network emissions using data traffic volume, CDN provider energy data and regional grid intensity factors. Emissions can be allocated per service, per geography or per business unit, making it possible to identify where infrastructure changes would have the greatest impact on your overall footprint.
Digital growth and emissions reduction are not a trade-off.
Measure both.
IT, media and telecoms companies facing CSRD obligations, SBTi commitments or enterprise buyer requirements need Scope 3 data that is traceable, methodology-backed and continuously maintained. CarbonTool gives you the structure to build it without rebuilding it every year.
