Question 1

What does CarbonWise support for SB-253?

Accepted Answer

CarbonWise provides guided SB-253 filing preparation, package readiness review, readiness task tracking, Scope 1 and Scope 2 evidence support tracking, a CARB-shaped draft workbook export, and Evidence Pack + Assurance Bundle workflows with decision-trail support for final completion and review.

Question 2

Does CarbonWise submit filings directly to CARB?

Accepted Answer

No. CarbonWise helps organize records and prepare draft outputs, but final filing decisions, completion, submission, verification, and assurance remain the responsibility of the reporting company and its advisors.

Question 3

Can CarbonWise help with CSRD preparation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CarbonWise supports a CSRD / ESRS E1 package workflow, structured carbon handoff exports, manual datapoint prompts, methodology visibility, evidence links, target-readiness context, and Scope 3 supplier data-quality warnings. It does not create native iXBRL filings or determine CSRD applicability.

Question 4

Does CarbonWise provide assurance opinions?

Accepted Answer

No. Evidence packs organize records, evidence, calculation trace, and review prompts for assurance preparation, but CarbonWise does not provide verification, audit, assurance, legal, certification, or regulatory opinions.
