The tool

From activity data to a reportable number

CS3 compares a business-as-usual baseline against a circular scenario across the Scope 3 categories. Furthermore, it now puts the economic cost of each strategy right next to its carbon result. The screens below are from the live tool, shown with sample data.

Measure the delta

Results screen: a business-as-usual baseline of 3.67 t against a circular scenario of 2.81 t — a 23.6% reduction — with buttons to download a PDF and export ESRS E1 data. Add figures/tool-results.jpg
the results overview screen
The headline result: baseline versus circular across the whole assessment. One-click export to PDF and to ESRS E1. Sample data shown.

See how every category performs

Emissions by Scope 3 category, baseline versus circular, with a table giving the accounting method and the change for each category — some rise, some fall. Add figures/tool-categories.jpg
the per-category breakdown screen
Every Scope 3 category, baseline against circular: reductions and increases shown in green and grey respectively. Sample data shown.

Rank the circular strategies

Strategy prioritisation: the top-ranked circular strategies by a composite impact score, each flagged where it may increase emissions, with implementation notes. Add figures/tool-prioritisation.jpg
the strategy-prioritisation screen
From measurement to decision: the top-ranked strategies, scored on net impact, effectiveness and uniqueness, and flagged where one raises emissions elsewhere. Sample data shown.

Does it pay back?

Economics screen: total CapEx, net annual benefit, portfolio NPV and abatement cost, with strategies ranked cheapest-abatement-first and a euro-per-tonne-CO2e column. Add figures/tool-economics.jpg
the economics screen (new)
Payback, NPV and marginal abatement cost in €/tCO₂e: “does it pay back?” sits beside “how much carbon does it save?” Sample data shown.

See it run on one of your product lines

Send me one of your product lines and I will run it through CS3 before we talk. Twenty minutes, and you keep the result. That is usually where the key questions come up: which strategies have the strongest carbon performance, which of them pay back, and what a disclosure-ready export looks like.
