CarbonFootprintGhost: Supply Chain Emissions Tracker
Automatically tracks and alerts small e-commerce businesses when their supplier emissions exceed sustainability targets they've publicly committed to.
The Problem
Small e-commerce brands publicly commit to carbon-neutral shipping or ESG goals but have no easy way to monitor if their actual suppliers are hitting those targets. They manually request emissions data (often getting no response), overpromise to customers, then fail quietly or pay surprise carbon offset fees. There's no real-time visibility into supply chain emissions drift.
Target Audience
Solo founders and small teams running DTC e-commerce brands (under $5M revenue) who've made public sustainability commitments but lack procurement infrastructure to track them.
Why Now?
FTC's Green Guides enforcement is ramping up; small brands face legal liability for misleading sustainability claims. AI tools can now auto-parse supplier sustainability reports and certifications at scale cheaply.
What's Missing
Enterprise supply chain tools are bloated and expensive. Excel tracking doesn't catch real-time drift. Suppliers rarely respond to manual requests. No tool exists that auto-aggregates public certification data and sends alerts when commitments are at risk.
