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 spreadsheet wall. No annual snapshot. No consultant-only workflow.

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 lets the Competition Bureau investigate and seek administrative monetary penalties for misleading environmental claims. 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.
