The challenge
A carbon total cannot reduce itself.
Decarbonization depends on the suppliers, facilities, materials, processes, and purchases behind the number. CommonShare connects calculation inputs to their owners and turns hotspots into shared cases, actions, approvals, and progress records.
Product workflow in practice
Move from baseline to verified progress with suppliers.
Keep every result connected to its boundary, activity data, factor, contributor, and reduction action.

Define boundary and method
Set the product, facility, transaction, period, methodology, allocation, factors, and data-quality expectations for the calculation.
- Input
- Mapping, Calculations
- Decision or control
- Runs within the configured workflow boundary.
- Handoff
- Collect primary activity data · Suppliers and facilities
- Define boundary and methodClimate and sustainability
The decarbonization decision remains connected to its source data, calculation method, approvals, reduction actions, and intended downstream use.
Connected evidence model
Keep every impact result tied to its source.
Every object remains connected to the people, evidence, versions, and decisions that give it meaning.

Connected capabilities
Configure one platform around the work.
Bring the right capabilities into one accountable flow.
Multi-tier network mapping
Connect products, facilities, materials, transactions, activities, and calculation inputs across tiers.
Supplier collaboration
Request primary energy, material, process, transport, and production data with supporting evidence from accountable contributors.
Evidence governance
Extract, version, approve, and preserve activity data, factors, calculations, and supporting documents with a reviewable audit trail.
Cases and decision workflows
Route data gaps, hotspot actions, corrective work, approvals, and escalation to accountable teams.
Impact calculations
Keep goals, boundaries, activity data, factors, allocation, results, and quality assessment connected by version.
Reported progress outputs
Reuse governed calculations, actions, evidence, and approvals in controlled reporting and supplier-progress views.
Commons Architecture
The shared foundation beneath the workflow.
Architecture keeps identity, data exchange, claims, permissions, automation, and human accountability coherent across organizations.
Where it applies
See the workflow in industry context.
Iron, Steel & Aluminium
Connect installations, processes, inputs, purchases, and embedded-emissions evidence.
Food & Agriculture
Engage producer networks around origin, activity, land, process, and transport data.
Requirements and methods
Connect evidence to the right pathway.
CBAM
Connect covered imports to installation data, methodology, verification, and reporting records.
Product Environmental Footprint
Preserve PEF goal, scope, inventory, impact assessment, assumptions, and review evidence.
Results depend on boundary, data quality, assumptions, factors, allocation, methodology, and review. CommonShare keeps those choices visible while accountable teams approve how results are used.
Frequently asked
