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

Canonical: https://senseible.earth/answers/bhadohi-carpet-exporter-eu-buyer-data

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.
