Carbon accounting moved from PDF to API

Carbon accounting moved from PDF to API

Sustainability reporting used to culminate in a glossy annual PDF nobody could act on. Regulatory pressure and supply-chain requirements are turning it into live, queryable data piped directly into procurement and finance systems.

When emissions become an API, they become a filter on purchasing decisions — and a number leadership manages monthly.

Signal: carbon data is becoming operational, not ceremonial. Build for the integration, not the report.
