How it works
How does Carbon Mandate check supplier XMLs?
Three moves on every reporting period: from inviting a non-EU supplier onto your secure supplier portal to handing a checked evidence pack to your filing team. The importer of record stays the filer.
Step 01 · Supplier portal
Connect your suppliers
Each non-EU supplier is invited onto a secure supplier portal. You track who has supplied evidence, who is overdue, and who still blocks the declaration: one dashboard, every supplier.
Step 02 · Schema check
Check every supplier XML on receipt
Each file is checked against Carbon Mandate’s provisional annual-report schema and data-completeness expectations; faults are returned to the supplier with reasons before anything enters your declaration set.
Step 03 · Handover
Hand a checked evidence pack to your filing team
Checked XMLs are bundled with the audit trail and routed to the importer of record. The importer files with the EU Registry as the declarant of record under Regulation (EU) 2023/956; Carbon Mandate stays a preparer.
Other CBAM solutions collect your supplier data and produce a report. We produce a machine-readable XML declaration with the full precursor chain intact, not a PDF report or a spreadsheet template. It is checked before it reaches you and rejected with structured error codes if it fails.
Certificate purchasing
CBAM certificate purchases open 1 February 2027. The EU Registry handles all transactions — Carbon Mandate does not purchase, hold, or surrender certificates on your behalf. Your obligation as declarant is to hold sufficient certificates by 30 September each year to cover the verified embedded emissions declared for the prior calendar year.
One dashboard. Every supplier. Your declaration ready.
Start with incoming XML checks. Add supplier orchestration when you are ready. Your filing team receives a complete audit-ready evidence pack every reporting period.
