Challenges & Solutions
Challenges
- Scope 3 data lives in thousands of supplier spreadsheets
- Emission factors change and restatements must be reproducible
- Auditors demand lineage from disclosure back to source document
- Utility bills, meters, and ERP extracts arrive in every format
- Double materiality assessments need finance + impact data joined
CloudFormation Solves
- Supplier portal with templated intake and validation on upload
- Versioned factor libraries; every calculation pinned to factor set
- Immutable lineage graph from source file to reported figure
- Ingestion connectors + OCR for bills, meters, ERP, and travel data
- Lakehouse joining financial and impact data for materiality views
Architecture Patterns
1
Data Collection
Supplier portal and API connectors land raw files in the lake. Validation flags gaps and anomalies. OCR extracts figures from utility bills and invoices.
2
Carbon Engine
Activity data × versioned emission factors in a deterministic pipeline. Scope allocation rules as code. Restatements re-run against pinned factor sets.
3
Disclosure Reporting
CSRD/SEC report templates fed straight from the lakehouse. Every figure links to its lineage. Draft → review → sign-off workflow with locked snapshots.
4
Assurance Trail
Object-lock storage for evidence. Access logs and approvals bundled per reporting period. Auditor workspace with read-only scoped views.
