A carbon score buyers can actually verify.

Every product on Cleantech Mart carries a CM Carbon Rating — a structured, lifecycle-based sustainability report generated against published research and Indian market standards. No vague claims. No self-graded scores.

The engine

Four steps, every time a product is listed

No manual LCA study required. The rating is generated automatically the moment a product is added to the catalog — then it can be upgraded with real certification as a vendor provides it.

01 — INGEST

Catalog data is pulled

Name, category, tags, description, HSN code, GST rate and weight are read directly from the product listing — no extra forms.

02 — ANALYZE

AI applies LCA research

The model scores the product against published lifecycle assessment research and industry benchmarks for its category.

03 — STRUCTURE

Output is standardized

A 1–10 score, a carbon footprint badge and a six-stage lifecycle impact table are generated in a fixed, comparable format.

04 — PUBLISH

Report goes live

Buyers see highlights, honest trade-offs and the certifications worth pursuing — right on the product page.

Verification tiers

A score is a starting point. Verification is the trust layer.

Every product gets an AI-generated rating on day one. Sellers can then move up the tiers by submitting documentation — and buyers can filter by tier.

Tier 1
Self-declared

AI-rated

  • Generated automatically at listing
  • Based on category benchmarks, not vendor-specific data
  • Visible to buyers as a baseline estimate
Tier 3
LCA certified

Third-party verified

  • Independent lifecycle assessment on file
  • Full Verified Green badge on every listing
  • Priority placement for BRSR Core-liable buyers

Methodology

How the score is actually calculated

The scoring guide is fixed and published — it doesn't shift product to product, and it's the same rubric whether the item is a solar inverter or a bar of soap.

9–10
Carbon negative or net-zero, fully circular, multiple top-tier certifications
7–8
50%+ emission reduction vs. conventional equivalent, recyclable, strong certifications
5–6
25–50% reduction vs. conventional, some genuinely sustainable features
3–4
10–25% reduction, minimal sustainable features beyond category norm
1–2
Little to no measurable improvement over the conventional alternative

Every report draws on

  • Published lifecycle assessment (LCA) research
  • Industry emission & material benchmarks
  • Indian market & grid-intensity standards (CEA factors)
  • BIS, BEE, MNRE, ISO 14001, FSC certification frameworks

What the rating is — and isn't

The CM Carbon Rating is an AI-generated estimate grounded in published research and category benchmarks. It is not a substitute for an independent LCA. Actual figures vary by manufacturer, and we encourage every seller to submit third-party documentation — that's exactly what moves a listing from Tier 1 to Tier 3.

Put a verifiable number behind "sustainable."

Whether you're listing a product or sourcing one, the CM Carbon Rating gives you a common, defensible reference point.
