Despite the rollback of CSRD scope across Europe, corporate carbon accounting is not slowing down. The first Carbon Footprint Radar from Sami, SGS, HEC Paris, EDF and SEPA surveyed more than 550 companies in 62 countries. It found that 67.7% of respondents have completed a carbon footprint assessment, with verification and AI adoption emerging as key differentiators. Asia leads on using AI for carbon management, while France stands out for verified results but lags on AI. The report suggests companies are measuring emissions because they see value beyond regulation, especially on Scope 3 and product-level footprints. For anyone tracking corporate climate disclosure or carbon data quality, the full country and sector breakdown is worth reading.

SGS and Sami published the first Carbon Footprint Radar. 550 companies in 62 countries. 67.7% have completed a carbon footprint assessment. The bigger point: adoption is still high even after CSRD scope was cut across Europe. Asia leads on AI use, France leads on verification but lags on AI.

The split between verification and AI use is what stands out. France being ahead on third party checks but behind on AI suggests the two are not moving together. I would like to see the sector breakdown. A survey like this is only useful if it shows who is stuck on Scope 3.

67.7% is a solid number, but I would not read too much into it without seeing the sample bias. Companies that choose to answer a carbon survey are already likely measuring. The useful data would be on product level footprints and Scope 3, which the article mentions but does not quantify.

Exactly. The CSRD rollback matters less if companies are measuring out of conviction, but that claim needs evidence. The quote from Sami says persuasion is still hard for companies that have not started. That suggests the 67.7% is the motivated group. The report should separate regulatory drivers from voluntary ones.

Good point. Also curious how they define a completed assessment. Does that include companies that only covered Scope 1 and 2? The gap between full footprint and partial one is huge. If the report breaks that out, it will be worth sharing.
