ContactManufacturing organizations face the most concentrated and interconnected set of sustainability obligations of any sector. CBAM places a direct carbon cost on EU exports. CSRD extends disclosure requirements across European operations and supply chains. EcoVadis scores determine qualification for EU procurement. And every one of these frameworks draws on the same underlying data — emissions, energy, materials — that most manufacturers currently manage in disconnected systems.
Semtrio works with manufacturers across Iron & Steel, Cement, Aluminium, Chemicals, Automotive, and industrial goods to connect these obligations into a single, manageable framework. One data set. One advisory partner. One accountable system.
Trusted by Manufacturing Leaders
CBAM is the most immediately financial of the manufacturing sector’s sustainability obligations. From 2026, every tonne of Iron & Steel, Cement, Aluminium, Fertilizer, Electricity, or Hydrogen exported to the EU carries a direct carbon cost tied to the EU ETS price. Getting the embedded carbon calculation right is a margin decision — not just a compliance one.
CSRD brings parallel reporting obligations for manufacturers with EU operations or EU-linked parent companies, requiring double materiality assessments, ESRS-aligned reporting, and supply chain data that goes well beyond what most manufacturers currently collect. EcoVadis assessment has become a de facto requirement for EU supply chain qualification — buyers, procurement teams, and infrastructure tenders increasingly use EcoVadis as a supplier screening mechanism.
The manufacturers who manage these obligations most effectively are those who treat them as a connected system — the same emissions data that supports CBAM calculations feeds the GHG inventory that underpins CSRD disclosure and EcoVadis scoring. Semtrio designs that integrated data architecture from the start.
Sustainability obligations for manufacturers arrive simultaneously from EU regulation, buyer qualification requirements, and investor disclosure expectations. Each service below addresses a specific pressure point.
We have delivered CBAM, GHG, and ESG advisory for manufacturers across six sectors and more than twenty countries.

Average EcoVadis score for manufacturing clients advised by Semtrio vs. 48.4 global first-year average
Manufacturing is Semtrio’s highest-volume sector by project count. We have delivered over 300 CBAM embedded carbon calculations across Iron & Steel, Cement, Aluminium, Fertilizers, Electricity, and Hydrogen operations — with 100% of quarterly submission deadlines met. Our GHG accounting work for manufacturing clients spans Scope 1, 2, and 3 inventories across single-site and multi-entity group structures. Our EcoVadis advisory has lifted manufacturing clients consistently above the 70-point threshold that opens procurement qualification in the most demanding EU supply chains.
The difference in a manufacturing engagement is integration. A CBAM calculation that does not feed the corporate GHG inventory wastes effort and creates inconsistency. We design the data architecture so that every framework draws from the same source.
Whether you’re managing CBAM exposure, preparing for CSRD, or building the GHG inventory that connects both — we’re here to design the system around your operations.
