Carbon Maps

Carbon Maps is a French climate technology company founded in 2022 that builds a decarbonization platform specifically for the food industry. It was created to give food retailers, brands and food-service operators a way to measure emissions at both the corporate and individual product level, replacing generic spend-based estimates with activity-based, ingredient-level data.

The platform combines a corporate carbon footprint module covering Scope 1-3, a product carbon footprint and life-cycle-assessment engine that models emissions from farm to shelf, and a supplier engagement portal for collecting primary data across the food value chain. Calculations follow ISO 14040/14044/14067 and PACT methodologies and are validated by TUV Rheinland; customers include retailers, food brands and food-service groups such as Carrefour, Intermarche and Sodexo.

1. Corporate carbon footprint: Tracks Scope 1-3 emissions with visibility at corporate, business-unit and site level.

2. Product carbon footprint: Calculates emissions per product using activity-based, ingredient-to-emissions mapping instead of spend-based estimates.

3. Supplier engagement portal: Collects primary data and ESG assessments directly from suppliers across the food value chain.

4. Scenario simulation: Models the emissions impact of recipe, sourcing or process changes before they are implemented.

5. Audit-ready reporting: Produces disclosures aligned with ISO 14040/14044/14067 and PACT, validated by TUV Rheinland.

6. EU-hosted infrastructure: Stores and processes customer data on EU-based servers.
