Carbon Maps is an environmental accounting platform purpose-built for the food value chain. It aggregates fragmented product and supplier data to generate rapid, auditable assessments across thousands of SKUs, turning results into supplier engagement and recipe or packaging improvements. Primary users include sustainability, procurement and R&D teams at brands, retailers, manufacturers and food-service operators that need comparable product carbon footprints and LCA-based insights at portfolio scale. By covering multiple indicators (carbon, land, water, biodiversity) and aligning to standards such as ISO and PEF, the platform helps teams pinpoint hotspots and model reductions across ingredients and processes.

Core Features

Carbon Maps’ approach centers on science-based, audit-ready calculations that are fast to deploy at product-portfolio scale, with clear links from data inputs to decisions in procurement, R&D and merchandising; some of its main features are:

  • PCF/LCA at Scale: Automated, granular assessments for hundreds to thousands of SKUs; ingredient-, process- and end-of-life-level detail.

  • Standards Alignment: Methods aligned with ISO 14040/44/14067 and EU Product Environmental Footprint; exportable for CSRD-style reporting.

  • Data Ingestion & AI Matching: API/SFTP sync plus automatic matching to a large emissions-factor library when supplier data is incomplete.

  • Supplier Assessment: Evaluate supplier sustainability and integrate findings into Scope 3 programs and SBTi FLAG workflows.

  • Eco-Design & Scenario Modeling: Simulate recipe, packaging and material alternatives to compare environmental outcomes before launch.

  • Use-Case Coverage: Modules for corporate carbon footprinting, product-level labeling/claims and food-service menu analysis.

Closing Insights

Founded in late 2022, Carbon Maps positions itself as “the first environmental accounting platform dedicated to the food industry,” led by CEO and serial food-tech founder Patrick Asdaghi. The mission is to unify data from farm to fork and deliver auditable, science-based calculations companies can act on. Early traction was supported by a €4 million pre-seed round led by Breega and Samaipata in February 2023; additional funding followed in December 2023, bringing total capital above $7 million.

Notable users illustrate different needs. E.Leclerc’s private-label arm (SCAMARK) uses Carbon Maps to power “Carbon’Info” for 6,000+ products and to strengthen Scope 3 calculations. Foodles, a workplace-canteen specialist, co-developed the “Carbo Score” to label menu impacts and guide recipe changes. The company also reports performing complete corporate carbon assessments for groups like Solinest.

For organizations looking to understand the environmental impact of their food-value-chain operations, Carbon Maps is designed with a deep understanding of agri-food systems. According to the company, its food-specific models and database of more than 34,000 emission factors enable it to address the complexity of large-scale food supply chains—selecting appropriate factors, filling data gaps, and producing consistent, auditable assessments aligned with ISO and PEF standards.
