What CarbonSmart does

CarbonSmart (legal entity CarbonSmart Teknoloji ve Danışmanlık A.Ş.) is a private software company founded in 2023 at the İTÜ Çekirdek incubation center in Türkiye and headquartered at Teknopark İstanbul, with an additional regional office in London. It operates an AI-powered carbon management SaaS platform that measures, reports, and reduces corporate and product-level emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3, structured around four software modules — Corporate Carbon Footprint Platform (ISO 14064 / GHG Protocol), CBAM Reporting Platform (EU Regulation 2023/956), Product Carbon Footprint Platform (ISO 14067), and LCA & EPD Platform (ISO 14040/14044 with Ecoinvent integration) — plus two consulting services in sustainability reporting (TSRS, CSRD, GRI, Integrated Reporting) and ISO 14046 water footprint.

The underlying technology combines a global emission factor database with AI features for automated process mapping from invoices and ERP records, anomaly detection, predictive analytics for missing Scope 3 data, and real-time emissions monitoring via ERP and IoT integrations, supported by an API and a public-facing CBAM Scope Check tool. The platform is delivered as a cloud SaaS subscription (annual or monthly billing, with optional VPC or On-Premise deployment for enterprise data residency), with custom pricing tied to plan, users, modules, and usage parameters.

CarbonSmart's commercial motion is primarily B2B sales-led with a product-led growth overlay: enterprise field sales for larger manufacturers, inside sales for mid-market, and a self-service onboarding flow advertised at 15+ minutes with no credit card required. It targets manufacturing, automotive, energy, food & retail, logistics, construction, and hospitality customers across Türkiye, the United States, Italy, the Balkans, and MENA, and holds or targets alignment with ISO 14064, ISO 14067, ISO 27001, GDPR/UK GDPR, CSRD/ESRS, and TSRS standards. The company is founder-led, has 1–10 employees, and has no disclosed external funding round to date.
