The fashion industry is responsible for ~10% of global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and more than 90% of its emissions stem from the supply chain. Most fashion brands and retailers lack actual supply chain data and therefore, struggle to meet environmental impact disclosure regulations. The existing software solutions are generic and lack industry-specific insights like the impacts of recycled and organic materials, manufacturing technologies used across different fabrics & products, and the ability to collect and integrate energy resource consumption data from suppliers. This is why we created Carbon Trail, a software platform tailored to the fashion industry. Leveraging data and AI/ML, our product provides instantaneous product environment footprint (PEF) reports and critical analytics that cover the lifecycle of any fashion product. This helps fashion retailers and brands accurately measure the environmental footprints of their products which can then be used to create digital product passports, get a deeper understanding of their Scope 3 emissions, and identify emission reduction initiatives to meet their net-zero goals. Among our founders, we have experience leading the development of groundbreaking data, IoT, and AI/ML products at Microsoft and other startups. We also have hands-on experience building climate strategies for global clients and implementing clean-energy solutions like solar. We believe climate change is the greatest challenge facing humanity and want to dedicate our careers to fighting against it.
