How do you help with Scope 3 FLAG emissions measurement?
We measure land use change emissions and carbon stock changes across your sourcing regions using satellite data. For each supplier location, we quantify emissions from deforestation, land conversion, and ecosystem degradation, as well as removals from reforestation and agroforestry. You get site-specific data for accurate FLAG reporting and can identify high-risk suppliers for targeted action.
Can I prove the impact of my sustainability programs?
Yes. We establish dynamic baselines using historical satellite data, then track changes over time. This lets you measure the actual carbon gains from your interventions (not just what was already there), quantify avoided deforestation, and document biodiversity improvements. You get the evidence needed to demonstrate ROI to your board and external stakeholders.
Which environmental reporting frameworks does Kanop support?
Kanop supports major environmental reporting frameworks including TNFD (Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures), GHG Protocol for Scope 3 emissions, EUDR (EU Deforestation Regulation), GRI standards, SBTN (Science-Based Targets for Nature), and CDP disclosures. Our platform provides the precise, site-specific environmental data required for these frameworks, with automated reporting templates and audit-ready documentation that simplifies compliance across multiple regulatory requirements.
What are the different data products available?
Kanop offers two complementary data products designed to support your entire project development lifecycle.
Our Screening product provides a high-level assessment with 25-meter resolution data on canopy cover, forest cover, above and belowground biomass, canopy height, and carbon stocks. It's ideal for initial project evaluation and opportunity assessment.
Our Monitoring product delivers enhanced precision with either 10 or 25-meter resolution, including everything in Screening plus field measurement recalibration capabilities and uncertainty quantification with 95% confidence intervals. This comprehensive solution supports project certification, ongoing verification, and regulatory compliance reporting.
Can your solution differentiate between primary forests and planted forests?
Yes, our platform harnesses satellite imagery and AI to discern various types of forests, be it primary forests or plantations.
What indicators does your platform provide?
Our platform delivers a comprehensive suite of environmental indicators accessible through intuitive maps and interactive dashboards. These include vegetation structure metrics (canopy cover, forest cover, canopy height, tree height), carbon metrics (aboveground biomass, belowground biomass, carbon stock, CO2 equivalent), and biodiversity assessment through the Rao's Q diversity index. All indicators are available as both current states and change over time.
How accurate is the estimation of the aboveground biomass?
Our aboveground biomass measurements have been rigorously validated against independent reference data, including global LiDAR GEDI datasets and region-specific research from tropical forests in Brazil. These validation studies confirm our models achieve a Mean Absolute Error of approximately 15 tonnes of dry matter per hectare across diverse ecosystems.
