Sustainable retail starts with data
From product carbon footprints and supply chain visibility to store-level energy tracking, Noissime helps retail teams meet transparency demands and avoid greenwashing risk.
An industry under consumer scrutiny
Retail and consumer goods account for a quarter of global emissions. Consumers, regulators, and investors are demanding proof behind sustainability claims.
Why carbon accounting is hard for retailers
Thousands of SKUs with different footprints
Each product has a unique supply chain and embodied carbon footprint. Calculating product-level emissions at scale requires automation and category-level proxies.
Franchise and store emissions
Energy consumption varies wildly across locations, franchise partners, and leased spaces. Collecting and consolidating this data manually is unsustainable.
Greenwashing and green claims risk
Unsubstantiated sustainability claims can trigger regulatory action and consumer backlash. You need auditable data to back up every statement on packaging and marketing.
Consumer demand for transparency
Customers want to know the carbon footprint of their purchases. Providing this information at point-of-sale requires product-level data infrastructure.
How Noissime solves it
Category-level emission mapping
Map products to emission categories using spend data and supplier inputs. Noissime applies industry-standard factors and scales up to thousands of SKUs automatically.
Store-level energy tracking
Collect utility data from owned, leased, and franchise locations. Noissime consolidates Scope 1 and 2 emissions across all sites and applies the correct grid factors per region.
Green claims validator
AI scans marketing copy and packaging for unsubstantiated claims. Compare claims against your actual emission data to ensure compliance with CMA and FTC guidance.
Product carbon footprint estimation
Generate product-level carbon footprints using spend, weight, and category data. Export results for use in e-commerce platforms and point-of-sale displays.
Purpose-built for retail and consumer goods
Product-level emission factors
Access factors for textiles, packaging, electronics, and food categories. Map each SKU to its specific emission intensity at scale.
Supplier data collection at scale
Send automated data requests to hundreds of suppliers via magic-link portals. AI validates and extracts emissions data from whatever format they provide.
CSRD and TCFD disclosure
Generate disclosure-ready reports mapped to ESRS E1 and TCFD. Full audit trails, data quality scoring, and scope coverage dashboards built in.
Tackling retail sustainability across complex supply chains
With up to ninety per cent of retail emissions embedded in the supply chain, carbon accounting for retail demands visibility far beyond store walls. Noissime gives retail sustainability teams the tools to measure, collect, and improve supply chain data at scale.
From category estimates to product-level precision
Most retailers begin their carbon accounting for retail journey with spend-based estimates mapped to broad product categories. While this provides a useful baseline, it lacks the granularity needed for credible retail sustainability claims and EU Green Claims Directive compliance. Noissime progressively refines your data from category-level proxies to product-specific emission factors as supplier data and lifecycle assessments become available.
For retailers managing thousands of SKUs, automation is essential. Noissime maps each product line to the most specific emission factor available, whether that is a spend-based EEIO proxy, a category-average factor, or a supplier-specific Environmental Product Declaration. As your carbon accounting for retail matures, the platform highlights which product categories have the highest uncertainty and where investing in primary data will deliver the biggest improvements to your retail sustainability reporting accuracy.

Engage hundreds of retail suppliers without the spreadsheet nightmare
Retailers often work with hundreds or even thousands of suppliers across multiple tiers. Manual data collection via email and spreadsheets simply does not scale. Noissime's automated supplier outreach funnel makes carbon accounting for retail supply chains practical and efficient.
Every supplier gets a free account with only the relevant fields
Upload your supplier list and Noissime launches an automated outreach sequence. Each supplier receives a free account via magic link, pre-configured with only the data fields relevant to their product category. A textile supplier sees questions about fibre sourcing and dyeing processes. A food ingredient supplier sees questions about agricultural practices and cold-chain logistics. No supplier faces a daunting fifty-page form, which dramatically increases response rates and data quality for your retail sustainability programme.
As suppliers submit their data, it flows directly into your Scope 3 calculations. Noissime's AI validates every response for unit consistency, completeness, and plausibility. Automated reminders chase non-respondents, and cooperation scores help you identify which suppliers need additional support. Over time, your carbon accounting for retail transitions from spend-based estimates to primary data, strengthening green claims compliance and making your retail sustainability reports genuinely credible under the EU Green Claims Directive.
Free supplier accounts
Every supplier gets a free Noissime account showing only the fields relevant to their product category.
Direct Scope 3 integration
Validated supplier data feeds straight into your retail Scope 3 emissions calculations automatically.
Free carbon reduction plans tailored to retail operations
Every paid Noissime account includes AI-generated carbon reduction plans that tell you exactly what to reduce, prioritised by impact and cost-effectiveness. For retailers, these plans cover both operational footprint and supply chain engagement strategies essential to retail sustainability.
Store energy optimisation
Your free carbon reduction plan identifies the highest-impact operational improvements across your store estate. From HVAC scheduling and refrigeration upgrades to LED retrofits and renewable energy procurement, each recommendation is ranked by tonnes saved and cost-effectiveness for your retail sustainability programme.
Supply chain reduction priorities
Carbon accounting for retail reveals which product categories drive the most Scope 3 emissions. Your plan ranks supplier engagement actions by impact, helping you focus decarbonisation efforts on the suppliers and materials that move the needle most for your retail emissions.
Logistics and distribution
Delivery fleet emissions, warehouse energy, and last-mile logistics all feature in your carbon reduction plan. Noissime models the impact of route optimisation, fleet electrification, and warehouse efficiency upgrades on your overall retail sustainability targets.
Automatically refreshed
Your carbon reduction plan updates as your carbon accounting for retail data improves. When new supplier data arrives, store energy patterns change, or new emission factors are released, Noissime recalculates and reprioritises your retail sustainability action items automatically.
