Commodity Transport Intelligence

Traceability from
mine to European port.

CargoTrace builds the auditable data layer for industrial commodity movements — origin verification, transport emissions, and ESRS-compliant reporting for every shipment.

The compliance gap
European importers are
on the hook for Scope 3
emissions they cannot prove.

CSRD and ESRS E1 require European companies to report Scope 3 emissions from their supply chains — including industrial commodity imports. The data doesn't exist.

Commodities move from African mines, South American ports, and Indian railheads through dozens of intermediaries before reaching Europe. No single system tracks the full movement. No audit trail exists.

Companies resort to estimates. Auditors hate estimates. Regulators are tightening requirements.

How it works

One corridor. Complete visibility.

01
Capture origin
Suppliers and logistics partners feed origin data into the CargoTrace protocol — mine, date, commodity grade, quantity.
02
Track transport
Every leg of the journey — truck, rail, port, ocean — is recorded. Mode, distance, fuel type, emissions factors applied automatically.
03
Deliver ESRS evidence
European importers receive audit-ready Scope 3 emissions data per shipment, aligned to ESRS E1 disclosure requirements.
ESRS Compliance Ready

Built for ESRS E1 from day one.

CargoTrace is designed around the specific data requirements of European Sustainability Reporting Standards — not retrofitted from a general-purpose logistics tool.

Scope 3 Category 4 — Upstream Transportation
Emissions data per transport mode, distance, and load factor
Origin Verification
Documented provenance for commodity origin certificates
Audit Trail
Immutably logged transport events — ready for external assurance
Category 1 Extension
Extraction-phase emissions tracking — mining energy data on the roadmap

The data exists.
We just connect it.

Commodity transport generates data at every leg — shipping manifests, port logs, customs declarations, vessel tracking. It already exists. It just isn't linked. CargoTrace bridges that gap, giving European importers the evidence they need to report with confidence.
