Five sealed carbon disclosure records from large U.S. companies, exactly as they appear in the Carbonbench universe: drawn from the company's own report, with its Accuracy Estimate, Transparency Score, Target Quality and sector position, and the Scope 1 + 2 emissions it discloses.
of records do not disclose the emission-factor value — these disclosures cannot be independently recalculated.
of Borsa İstanbul companies have no report we could find — every scored universe consists only of those who chose to publish a report.
The measured effect of independent assurance — when compared within the same market, assured disclosures come out a median of ~10 points more defensible (method and stratum table).
Our own processing cost is about 3.5 US cents per report (only the second-reading step uses a paid model) — which is why the data can stay free to read.
* The margin of error is the contradiction rate among records resolved in the independent second-reading pass — since it is a machine-to-machine agreement, this is a lower bound. The upper bound will be published once the human-labeled 200-report golden set is complete. Details: Press Room.
A steel producer landed in the "bottom 14%" on absolute emissions. Per tonne of steel, it emits 0.63 tCO₂e — half the global average. In heavy industry, the physical-intensity gauge outranks the absolute percentile.
An energy company's report says its targets are science-based, but its measured pace is −2.1%/yr — the sector pathway requires −7.4%/yr, and the company is not on the official SBTi list. We look at the official list and the measured pace, not the wording.
A cross-check against an official registry showed one of our records to be 300,000 times too low — the error was ours (a misread unit), not the company's. The record was corrected, the company was not penalized, and the case was logged in our error matrix. The company never pays for our reading error.
