# Climes

> Climes builds carbon compliance infrastructure for enterprises. Its core product, Carbon-OS, turns scattered activity data (ERPs, invoices, meters, bills of materials, supplier submissions) into emissions numbers an auditor, an EU buyer or a regulator can trace back to the source document. Climes also runs Carbon X-Ray, a free diagnostic that scores a company's public carbon disclosures against the frameworks that apply to it.

Climes helps companies produce carbon numbers that are not just honest but defensible: every reported figure keeps a full evidence trail back to the transaction and document it came from. The focus is Scope 1, 2 and 3 corporate inventories, financed emissions (PCAF), product carbon footprints, and framework-ready reporting.
