What carbon data do EU buyers ask Bhadohi carpet exporters for?

Carpets are not CBAM goods, but EU retailers need supplier figures for their own Scope 3 and reporting. Expect requests for your Scope 1 and 2 totals and a figure per square metre, built from yarn, dyeing, backing and finishing. Send figures with their records, not a certificate alone.

Typical requests

• Scope 1 and 2 totals with factors and year.
• Footprint per square metre for main qualities.
• Share of recycled or natural fibres.

Weaving done outside

Much hand weaving happens in village looms you do not run. Count their yarn and transport in your product figure even if their energy is small.

How to answer

One dataset per year, with the method stated and estimates labelled.

What Senseible does here

Senseible reads fuel, electricity and freight invoices into a dated, fingerprinted record per site, so each figure you send a buyer traces back to the documents behind it.

• Hand knotted carpet footprint
• Bhadohi wool dyeing
• Tufted carpet backing
