Rooted in Switzerland

100% developed, maintained and hosted in Switzerland

A company’s data has no reason to travel. CarbonLab is designed and maintained in Switzerland, and both the platform and your data are hosted on an Infomaniak server in Switzerland.

    No advertising, no audience measurement and nothing loaded from third parties: fonts, icons and scripts are served by our own server.

Modules

All of your organisation’s climate work in one place

The modules share the same data: a line entered in the inventory feeds the report, the strategy and the progress tracking.

  • Several sites in a single inventory
  • More than 25,000 public emission factors, plus your suppliers’ and your own
  • Ratios per FTE, per bed, per inpatient day and per m²

Report and export

The inventory becomes a complete Word report with your logo, which you review and edit before publication.

  • Contents page, charts, tables and appendices
  • Sections of your choice
  • Excel export of every line, with factors and totals as formulas

Reduction strategy

Targets aligned with SBTi criteria, calculated from your base year.

  • Pathway to 2050
  • Action plan by emission source, phased over time
  • Annual tracking: target, plan and actual inventories

Regulatory watch

The sustainability texts that affect your business, summarised and sorted.

Carbon footprint

A readable inventory, from the total down to each line

The dashboard shows the total and its breakdown by scope, emission source and site, with scope 3 split into its 15 categories. Every line keeps its emission factor and source, so any figure in the report can be traced back to the data behind it.

  • Line-by-line entry, with factor search by theme
  • Your own factors, for example a supplier’s, with their source
  • Organisation settings: staff, beds, inpatient days, floor area

Reduction strategy

From targets to a 2050 pathway

Choose the base year and the level of ambition: CarbonLab calculates near-term and 2050 targets aligned with SBTi criteria. The action plan, by emission source and phased over time, is read against this pathway, so being ahead or behind shows up year after year.

  • 1.5 °C, well below 2 °C or net zero 2040 ambition
  • A checklist of the criteria, with their references
  • Tracked actions: planned, under way, completed or behind schedule

  • Reference pathway
  • Action plan

Report and export

A report ready for review

In one click, the inventory becomes a Word document: cover page with your logo, key figures, charts, tables, strategy and regulatory watch. The file remains fully editable, and the Excel export includes every line with its formulas.

  • Summary, method, results, strategy and regulatory watch
  • Editable Word text and tables, headings in Word styles
  • Appendices: factors used, detail by emission source and site, glossary
