26% of global GHG emissions come from food. For restaurant groups, purchased food is the largest emissions source — and the hardest to measure.
70% of a restaurant group's total emissions sit in Scope 3 Category 1 (food procurement) — the category most tools still calculate in spreadsheets.
6 mo. Average time for enterprise carbon reporting. ForkTrace gets you to audit-ready in days — because the agent works while you sleep.
What the agent does

Everything a carbon consultant does,
without the hourly rate.

Supplier Invoice Monitoring

Connects to your procurement data and watches for changes automatically. When a new supplier is added or a product swapped, the agent recalculates your emissions footprint without prompting.

Real-Time Scope 3 Calculation

Emissions recalculated every time your procurement changes — not just at quarterly reporting. Know exactly where your carbon stands at any moment, not just when someone gets around to it.

A–E Carbon Label Generation

Every dish on your menu gets an A through E carbon rating, generated from your actual procurement data. Not generic estimates — real numbers from real supply chain activity.

Automated ESG Report Filing

CSRD, SBTi, and CDP-aligned reports generated automatically and delivered when your reporting deadlines hit. The agent handles the boring part — you handle the decisions.

Supplier Switch Modelling

Ask the agent: "What happens to our footprint if we switch to this beef supplier?" It models the scenario across your entire menu and shows you the numbers before you commit.

Regulatory Compliance Layer

Monitors SECR, EPR, and CSRD requirements and flags gaps in your reporting before regulators do. Keeps you compliant by staying ahead of the regulatory calendar, not catching up after it passes.

The process

From invoice to audit-ready report — autonomously.

01

Connect once

Link your procurement platform, supplier data feeds, and ERP. The agent handles the rest — no manual CSV uploads, no consultant onboarding.

02

Agent monitors daily

Every invoice, every supplier change, every menu update gets processed by the agent. Emissions data refreshes automatically — not when someone remembers to update it.

03

Reports land in your inbox

Quarterly emissions reports, annual ESG filings, menu carbon labels — delivered automatically. Audit-ready. GHG Protocol aligned. No chasing.

vs. the alternatives

This is what AI-native
means in practice.

Enterprise carbon tools require months of setup, manual data uploads, and dedicated consultants. Spreadsheets require someone to remember to update them. ForkTrace requires nothing from you after the initial connect — because the agent does it all.

Spreadsheets Enterprise SaaS ForkTrace
Setup time 1 day 3–6 months 1 week
Updates Manual Quarterly audit Real-time
Scope 3 Category 1 Estimated CSV upload Automated
Carbon labels No Extra cost Included
ESG report filing Manual Analyst required Autonomous

"Scope 3 is the most challenging to measure. We needed a tool that facilitates regular data collection while minimizing workload on operational teams."
