A multi-framework ESG dashboard your team logs into.

Best for

Larger corps with an ESG team already managing GHG, BRSR, CSRD.

The deciding row

CBAM-only, every shipment. Not one tab in an ESG suite.

Sentra.world is a multi-framework sustainability platform — great for an ESG team tracking GHG, BRSR, CSRD and CBAM together. But Indian export houses don't have that team. They have a plant manager and an export ops lead. CarbonSettle is built for them: one named expert, CBAM only, every consignment.

“A platform without a person isn't a service. It's homework with a login.”

Sentra ships software. CarbonSettle ships finished reports, pre-verified by a top-3 EU auditor, with your buyer's declarant copied in.

01

A named CBAM expert

One person owns your file end-to-end. They visit your plant, collect from handwritten logs, chase suppliers in their language, and reply to your buyer's declarant in English. Sentra ships software; we ship a person.

02

India's best CBAM engine

AI fills the report from chat, ERP, voice notes, or photos of bills. Same platform, three modes. 24×7 tracking ranks every cost-reduction lever in ₹/tCO₂ — beyond CBAM, into pricing intelligence.

03

Pre-verified, declarant-ready

A top-3 EU auditor pre-verifies every report before it leaves us. Your buyer's declarant uses your actuals from day one. The documented India HRC scenario saves about Rs 96 L per 1,000 t.
