Your buyer wants your carbon figure. Your bills have it.
Textile exporters: Tiruppur, Ludhiana, Surat, Panipat, Karur, Bhilwara
Textiles are outside the EU border carbon charge (CBAM), but brands ask anyway. Bills answer most of it.
What do CO2, Scope 1 and Scope 2 mean?
CO2: carbon dioxide
The gas burning fuel makes. The weight of your factory's smoke in a year.
Scope 1: your own chimney
Smoke from what you burn on site: boiler fuel and generator diesel. Like gas on a kitchen stove.
Scope 2: the power station behind your meter
Smoke from the electricity you buy. It is the neighbour's chimney on your bill.

How we worked this out
Forms may use their own factors, so totals can differ a little. Enter bill quantities in original units. The 2.42 factor suits imported or bituminous coal. Indian coal usually has a lower factor, so use your supplier’s test report if you have one.
What buyers check first
- Boiler fuel
- Twelve months, not one
- One set of numbers
Why these three
In dyeing, boiler fuel is most of the smoke. Show wood and husk on their own line, and give lignite its own factor, not the coal one. A single month passed off as a year, or a round number with no bill, gets answers marked down. Use the same records for the brand form, the Higg module and any bank.
Upload your last 12 months of bills.
Start with electricity. Phone photos work.
What happens next
Senseible reads the bills into a monthly record. Each line keeps its bill and factor. You share it with your exporter or brand buyer and copy the totals into their form.
Senseible is not part of Higg, and its records are not checked by Higg. Textiles are outside CBAM.
