Most emissions data lives in complicated spreadsheets nobody can verify. Good.Lab pairs an AI-enabled software platform with carbon accounting experts, so your emissions numbers are centralized, accurate, and audit ready — verified by people who know what auditors look for.
Regulations keep changing, and the guidance rarely keeps up. Good.Lab tracks what's new — from California SB 253/261 to Extended Producer Responsibility and the state laws coming after it — so deadlines never catch you off guard.
Reporting requirements are complex, and your business contracts are at stake. Whether your customers are asking for CDP or EcoVadis reporting, Good.Lab makes sure your data and documentation are accurate, your methodology is sound, and your report holds up when it matters.
Meeting a requirement is one thing. Building something durable is another. Good.Lab partners with you on materiality assessments, science-based target setting, and a decarbonization roadmap you can actually execute.

Success rate on GHG verification
EcoVadis assessments are valid for 12 months. We help you build a documentation foundation that makes each renewal faster and each score higher.
SB 253 requires Scope 3 in 2027. The supplier engagement and data collection groundwork needs to start now. We help you build that foundation so you're not starting from scratch when the deadline hits.
SB 253 applies to US companies with over $1 billion in revenue doing business in California. SB 261 catches companies at $500 million. But entity boundaries, subsidiary structures, and partial California operations can make the answer less obvious than the revenue thresholds suggest. We confirm scope before any work begins.
That's the majority of our clients. We start with what exists: whatever data, policies, or prior submissions you have, and build from there: interviewing your team, running assessments, and pulling it all together into a working baseline. No perfect starting point required.
Marten Transport did not have a formalized GHG reporting program when they started with us. We built their full Scope 1, 2, and 3 inventory from their operational data, and are now working together for a second year, adding EcoVadis support and benchmarking on top of that foundation.
Depends on your starting point. For companies with some existing policies and practices, 6–10 weeks is typical though it can move faster when your team is able to respond quickly as well. We'll give you a realistic timeline after the initial assessment.
EcoVadis typically takes 6 to 8 weeks to return a scorecard. We use that window to start planning your next round of improvements instead of waiting on it idle.
We're an EcoVadis Approved Training Partner, not just a third party consultant. That means our process is built around what EcoVadis itself expects from a submission, not our own interpretation of it.
Yes. No perfect data required. We work with what exists — utility records, procurement data, estimates — and document the basis for every figure.
No. Most first-time reporters assume they need supplier-specific emissions data for every purchase before they can start. In practice, you can build a credible baseline from what you already have, spend data, utility bills, fuel records, business travel, which the GHG Protocol itself permits.
We've run this process on hundreds of corporate carbon footprints, and data quality is something you improve cycle over cycle, not a bar you have to clear before you begin.
Yes — but data collection needs to start now. Building a defensible inventory takes longer than most companies expect, and the methodology decisions you make in 2026 have to hold up under limited assurance in 2027. The earlier you start, the cleaner the trail.
They're still two distinct submissions with different formats and requirements, so yes, two processes. However, EcoVadis and CDP ask for a lot of the same underlying environmental data (GHG emissions). We build that part of the dataset once so you're not collecting the same information twice. (source)
No. Our team owns the process end to end — data collection, calculations, methodology, filing. You don't need a sustainability hire to get this done.
No. Most of our EcoVadis clients don't have one either. Someone in operations, HR, or finance usually ends up as the point of contact, and we work directly with whoever that is, filling in the expertise gap rather than requiring you to have it in house first.
No. It's actually why most of our clients come to us! You don't need internal expertise to get this done – you need ours. We own the work end to end so you don't have to hire for it: we collect your data, build the methodology, file, and prepare you for assurance. We handle the full scope an in house hire would normally cover.
For example, for ezCater, a technology platform, we built a complete emissions footprint and set of initial targets with no previous ESG program in place.
Don't submit before you're ready. A low score is harder to recover from than a delayed one. Start with a gap assessment. We'll tell you where you stand and what's worth fixing before you submit.
It's one of the most common scope questions we work through. Entity boundaries, variable revenue, and partial-state operations can all affect your filing obligations. We resolve it before we build anything.
The core assessment is the same across industries, but manufacturers tend to get extra scrutiny on supply chain and labor practices given more complex, multi-tier supplier networks. We tailor the gap assessment to where that scrutiny lands hardest for your sector. (source)
Yes. We start by understanding where you lost points and why. Most low scores come from documentation gaps, not actual performance gaps, which means there's usually more to work with than companies expect.
SB 253 requires Scope 3 reporting in 2027. The supplier engagement and data collection groundwork needs to start this year. We help you build that foundation now so you're not starting from scratch when the deadline hits.
It means a third-party reviewer will check that your methodology is sound and your figures are supportable. We build your inventory with that review in mind from day one — so you're not scrambling to reconstruct documentation when assurance arrives.
Four pillars: environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Most companies underestimate how much weight labor and ethics carry relative to the environmental piece. (source)
Your requirements don't stay static. EcoVadis scores expire after 12 months, CDP reporting runs on an annual cycle, and California's SB 253 Scope 3 requirement phases in over the next few years, with more state laws likely to follow.
A baseline is really only useful if you track it year over year. Ninety percent of our clients stick with us for exactly that reason: RDI-USA, a global hospitality products supplier, spent year one building their first Scope 1, 2, and 3 inventory and a new CSR policy, then came back the next cycle and raised their EcoVadis score from 44 to 60 by building on that governance work.
The work doesn't stop, and neither do we.
We calculate to GHG Protocol standards and document every decision — so your numbers hold up whether you're filing with a regulator, responding to a customer, or preparing for limited assurance.
Tell us what's in front of you: a customer request, a regulatory deadline, a score you need to improve for a major customer. We'll map out what needs to happen and in what order, then put together a proposal right sized to your needs. No assessment fee. Start by booking a 20 minute intro meeting.
