01
Scope 3 is a black box
Purchased goods, upstream transport, and supply-chain emissions live in supplier invoices, MTCs, and LIMS data nobody touches. You report Scope 1 & 2 and stop there.
Carbon data infrastructure · Ontario
We turn your operational data
into audit-ready Scope 1, 2 and 3.
We run the pipeline between your mill test certs, fuel slips, and LIMS assays — and the carbon report your verifier, OEM, or auditor will actually accept. No spreadsheets. No spreadsheets. No spreadsheets.

The problem
You can't report what you can't measure.
We analyzed five of Ontario's largest steel, concrete, and auto-parts manufacturers. Every one had a Scope 3 problem. Every one used spreadsheets. None mentioned Bill C-59. The data infrastructure doesn't exist — so we're building it.
02
Bill C-59 is now enforceable
The Competition Act's private right of action has been live since June 2025. Any competitor, NGO, or individual can sue for greenwashing if your environmental claims aren't backed by verified methodology. Fines: up to $10M or 3% of worldwide revenue.
03
Consultants don't scale
Traditional carbon accounting costs $50K–$100K per facility per year and leaves you with an annual snapshot. Your data is still a mess the day they walk out.
The product
Three layers of carbon intelligence.
Start with the data pipeline. Add Scope 3 calculation. Layer on risk and compliance. Each tier compounds the value of the last.
Layer 1
Data infrastructure
The headless pipeline that ingests your raw operational data and normalizes it to a single carbon ledger. OCR for paper, APIs for ERP, read-only views for LIMS.
- AI extraction from MTCs, fuel slips, utility bills
- Moisture stripping & unit normalization
- Direct ERP integration (SAP, Epicor, SYSPRO)
- Immutable audit ledger with data lineage
Layer 2
Scope 3 calculation
The mass balance engine that turns your raw inputs into Scope 3 numbers — calculated from your own data, not estimated from industry averages.
- ECCC emission factors, applied automatically
- EEIO factors for purchased goods (Cat. 1)
- 15 GHG Protocol categories covered
- Bill C-59 compliant methodology statement
Layer 3
Risk & compliance
Continuous monitoring of your carbon exposure — what the market will see when disclosure becomes mandatory, and what to do about it.
- CBAM optimization (EU border carbon tax)
- Peer benchmarking (NPRI-facility level)
- Private verifier-ready reports
- Competitor & supply-chain intelligence
Why now
Three regulatory tailwinds at once.
The market didn't exist in 2020. It exists now because three independent forces created a compliance crisis for Ontario's largest emitters — and most of them aren't ready.
Bill C-59
The Competition Act makes greenwashing a violation: the Competition Bureau can investigate and seek fines for unsubstantiated environmental claims. Fines of up to $10M or 3% of worldwide revenueapply to corporations.
For Ontario manufacturers:every carbon claim on your website, in your ESG report, or on a shipment now needs a defensible methodology. A snapshot from last year's consultant won't cut it.
CBAM
The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism has applied since October 2023; full Phase 2 requirements are in force as of January 2026 for steel, cement, aluminium, fertilizers, electricity, and hydrogen exported to Europe.
For Ontario exporters: EU customs needs embedded-carbon numbers tied to your production data — not estimated — or your shipment carries the CBAM charge.
CSDS 1 & 2
The Canadian Sustainability Standards Board issued CSDS 1 and CSDS 2 as mandatory climate-related disclosure standards for public companies and large private entities.
For manufacturers: lenders and large OEM buyers will start asking their Canadian suppliers for Scope 1, 2, and 3 data. The disclosure requirement cascades through the supply chain.
Industries we serve
Built for the facilities that actually emit.
VantageHSG is opinionated software. We don't do every sector — we do the five where Ontario's largest emitters live, with the data inputs and emission factors specific to each.
01
Steel & foundries
Integrated mills, EAF operators, and foundries in Hamilton, Sault Ste. Marie, and the GTA. Blast furnace mass balance, scrap ratios, and Scope 3 purchased goods from iron ore and coal suppliers.
- Blast furnace & EAF emission factors
- Scrap ratio & yield calculations
- Iron ore & coking coal Scope 3 Cat. 1
02
Concrete & cement
Cement plants, ready-mix producers, and aggregate operations. Clinker ratio calculations, moisture-corrected emissions, and embodied carbon per cubic metre.
- Clinker-to-cement ratio mass balance
- Moisture-corrected fuel emissions
- Embodied carbon per m³ (EPD-ready)
03
Automotive parts
Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers responding to OEM carbon questionnaires from GM, Ford, and Stellantis. Per-part carbon footprints from actual production data.
- Per-part Scope 1, 2, 3 footprints
- OEM questionnaire response automation
- Steel & aluminum purchased goods
04
Plastics & chemicals
Process emissions, feedstock accounting, and Scope 3 Cat. 1 for resin and chemical inputs. MECP EPS compliance built in.
- Process vs. combustion emission split
- Feedstock carbon tracking
- Resin & additive Scope 3
05
Electroplating & finishing
Bath chemistry emissions, acid and metal waste streams, and Scope 3 from nickel, chrome, and zinc inputs.
- Bath chemistry mass balance
- NPRI substance reporting (Cr⁶⁺, Ni)
- Metal input Scope 3
Don't see your sector?
We're adding new NAICS codes every quarter. If you're a Canadian manufacturer with real emissions data and a real compliance deadline, we want to talk.
