Environmental data refers to the measurement of variables that impact the environment and resources used in production processes. This includes material flows like raw materials, recyclables, waste, water, and gases, as well as energy flows such as electricity and heat. When gathering environmental data for products, we focus on understanding the energy and material inputs required. The goal is to identify points in the value chain where we can reduce resource consumption, eliminate toxic materials, and use energy efficiently with minimal emissions.

Circonomit starts earlier in the value chain, focusing on efficient, traceable environmental data gathering with over 200 reusable data modules. Unlike manual questionnaires, our scalable approach captures depth and complexity across the entire product portfolio. We structure data like financial accounting, enabling the integration of financial metrics into sustainability calculations. This makes Circonomit the first solution that bridges sustainability and finance.

In the future, environmental data will be central to managing the increasing complexity of environmental constraints. Legally, environmental data sheets for products and processes will become a regulated part of business accounting. In fact, many companies are already required to verify, audit, and publish this data. From a liability and risk standpoint, building transparent and traceable environmental balance sheets is essential. Additionally, environmental crises—such as supply chain disruptions, rising energy prices, and resource shortages—threaten business stability, making proactive environmental data collection critical.
