Prewave is an AI-driven supplier risk and sustainability platform used by procurement, sustainability, and ESG reporting teams across industries. For carbon accounting, it tackles the hardest part—gathering primary, audit-ready Scope 3 data from suppliers—then automates disclosures under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) while guiding reduction programs across tiers. By combining risk monitoring with structured supplier engagement, Prewave helps manufacturers, automotive and energy companies replace spreadsheet-based estimates with verified product and corporate carbon footprints. Its open integrations and tier-N mapping make decarbonisation actionable, not just reportable, at the scale complex supply chains demand, and withstands independent audit and assurance requirements.

Core Features

The Prewave platform brings supplier risk intelligence and sustainability workflows into one environment so carbon data collection, compliance, and decarbonization actions can run in lockstep with real-time supply-chain signals. Its main features include:

  • Scope 3 & PCF/CCF data capture – Collect supplier primary data for product and corporate carbon footprints, complemented by verified datasets to improve accuracy across tiers.

  • Automated reporting – Generate audit-ready ESG and carbon reports and customs-ready CBAM declarations with minimal manual effort.

  • Supplier engagement workflows – Orchestrate structured requests for emissions data, activity metrics and supporting evidence, reducing follow-ups and data gaps.

  • Risk-linked carbon actions – Move beyond reporting with target-setting and joint reduction actions tied to live supplier risk insights.

  • Assurance-ready outputs – Standardize calculations, trace documentation and surface gaps early to meet audit and enforcement deadlines.

  • Integrations & data partners – Connect to ERP/procurement stacks (e.g., SAP) and data providers (e.g., Coface, Dun & Bradstreet) via open APIs to enrich analysis and streamline controls.

Closing Insights

Prewave's user base includes major players in the automotive sector like Audi, Porsche and Volkswagen use Prewave to identify sustainability risks across their vast supplier networks located across the world. In the past two years, Prewave's profile has been boosted by key developments: a €63m Series B in June 2024 to expand product and go-to-market; recognition as a Leader in Gartner’s 2025 Magic Quadrant for Supplier Risk Management; and strategic partnerships with industry leaders like o9 (planning), Capgemini (delivery) and Coface (insolvency risk).

For ESG and carbon teams, these moves matter: tighter integrations and partner delivery expand coverage, while AI-driven supplier engagement addresses the primary-data gap central to CSRD and CBAM. Annual peer-score updates and an active knowledge base further support governance, enabling organizations to move from reporting to credible, supplier-validated decarbonization, with clearer baselines and measurable progress.
