Structured ESG and climate data, licensed straight into your models.
SYNE is a licensed data provider - not just a ratings agency. From emission factors and product carbon footprints to carbon markets, trade, country-level and risk intelligence data, we license the structured datasets that sit underneath every SYNE Rating for direct integration into your own systems.
Six categories of licensed data, one delivery layer.
SYNE's data business licenses the structured datasets that power our own ratings - and that plug directly into your reporting, trading, procurement and risk systems.
Emission Factor & Activity Data
Activity-based emission factors spanning purchased goods and services, capital goods, freight and shipping, packaging, and energy.
Product & Asset Carbon Data
LCA-based product carbon footprints and asset-level emissions management data for facilities, fleets and equipment.
Carbon Markets Data
Carbon pricing data, carbon offset data, and carbon trading data across compliance and voluntary markets.
Trade & Regulatory Data
Trade emissions data and CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) data for cross-border compliance reporting.
Macro & Energy Data
Country emissions data and energy intelligence data covering national and sub-national inventories, generation mix and demand.
Risk & Intelligence Data
ESG risk data, market and industry intelligence data, Supplier Ratings data, and carbon intensity data for portfolio-level analysis.
Factors. Assets. Carbon. Trade.
Every dataset SYNE licenses is organised under the FACT model - Factors, Assets, Carbon & Climate, and Trade. The same four families run from the activity-level factor that goes into a single calculation, up to the market- and country-level intelligence used to contextualise a whole portfolio - all built to the same sourcing and disclosure standard.
Factors
Activity-based emission factors for calculating Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions at source.
- Purchased Goods & Services Factors
- Capital Goods Factors
- Freight & Shipping Factors
- Packaging Factors
- Energy & Fuel Factors
- Spend-based & Activity-based Variants
Assets
Footprint and asset-level data at the product, facility and equipment level.
- Asset Emissions Management Data
- Product Carbon Footprints
- LCA-Based Data (Cradle-to-Gate & Cradle-to-Grave)
- Facility- & Fleet-Level Emissions Data
Carbon & Climate
Pricing, transaction and macro-level data across carbon markets and national climate profiles.
- Carbon Pricing Data
- Carbon Offset Data
- Carbon Trading Data
- Carbon Intensity Data
- Country Emissions Data
- Energy Intelligence Data
Trade
Cross-border, counterparty and market-level data for trading desks, procurement and compliance teams.
- Trade & CBAM Data
- ESG Risk Data
- Market & Industry Intelligence Data
- Supplier Ratings Data
From licensed dataset to production system.
Every dataset is delivered on a defined, disclosed refresh cycle - daily for market data, quarterly or annually for factor and country-level data.
Select Your Modules
Choose from the 12 licensed data modules, scoped to the categories, geographies and refresh cadence you need.
API, Bulk File or Platform
Pull data via REST API, scheduled bulk file delivery (CSV/Parquet), or direct access through the SYNE platform.
Scheduled Updates
Datasets update on a defined, disclosed cycle - from daily carbon pricing feeds to annual factor releases.
Reporting, Risk & Trading
Feed directly into GHG inventories, CBAM filings, trading desks, risk models, or your own internal ratings.
Built for teams that need the number behind the score.
A rating tells you a judgement. Licensed data gives your own team the underlying inputs to run that judgement - or a different one - yourselves.
Corporates & Sustainability Teams
Calculate Scope 1, 2 and 3 inventories using licensed emission factors mapped directly to the GHG Protocol.
Financial Institutions & Asset Managers
Feed carbon intensity, ESG risk and market intelligence data directly into portfolio and financed-emissions models.
Carbon Market Participants
License daily carbon pricing, offset and trading data across voluntary and compliance markets for desk-level use.
Trade & Customs Compliance Teams
Use trade and CBAM data to calculate embedded emissions and prepare cross-border compliance filings.
Consultancies & LCA Practitioners
Build product carbon footprints on licensed, cradle-to-gate and cradle-to-grave LCA-based datasets.
Governments & Regulators
Benchmark country-level emissions and energy intelligence data against comparable jurisdictions.
A rating is only as good as the numbers underneath it.
Most ESG and climate figures still rely on generic default factors or self-reported estimates with no disclosed source. That's workable for a rough estimate - but it falls apart the moment a number needs to survive an audit, a regulatory filing, or a counterparty's due diligence. SYNE licenses the same primary, source-disclosed datasets our own analysts use to build every rating.
Why source matters as much as the number
A figure with no disclosed source or methodology can't survive scrutiny from an auditor, regulator, or counterparty - regardless of how precise it looks.
What it means for reporting & trade
CSRD, CBAM and GHG Protocol-aligned disclosures all require traceable factors and activity data - not a black-box estimate with no audit trail.
What it means for internal teams
Licensing a maintained dataset is materially cheaper than building and maintaining an internal factor library - and removes the risk of using stale defaults.
What the data actually gives you
The same primary, source-disclosed inputs that sit underneath every SYNE Rating - so your own calculations and our published ratings never disagree on the underlying facts.
What separates SYNE Data from a generic factor library.
Four principles run through every dataset we license, from a single emission factor to a full market intelligence feed.
Primary, source-disclosed data
Built from primary activity and disclosure data wherever possible, with sourcing and assumptions disclosed for every factor.
Mapped to global frameworks
Every dataset is mapped to the GHG Protocol, ISO 14064, and recognised product carbon footprint (PCF) standards.
Regulatory-grade independence
Operating under the EU ESG Ratings Regulation (ESMA 2023/2631) and the FCA Code of Conduct - methodology and sourcing published.
The same data across every product
The factors and datasets you license are the same ones feeding ESG, Sustainability, Carbon and Supplier Ratings, and the SYNE Index.
Licensed data is an input. A rating is a judgement.
You don't have to choose one or the other - most SYNE clients license the underlying data alongside a rating, using the same numbers for both.
Inputs, not opinions
A dataset is a structured, sourced number - an emission factor, a price, a country total. A rating is SYNE's independent judgement built from many such numbers.
Refreshed on a disclosed cycle
Market data (pricing, trading) updates daily; factor and country-level datasets refresh quarterly or annually, each on a published schedule.
API, bulk file, or platform
No PDF reports - data is delivered as structured, machine-readable feeds built for direct integration into existing systems.
The same inputs behind every rating
Emission factors and carbon intensity data feed Carbon Ratings; ESG risk data feeds ESG Ratings; Supplier data feeds Supplier Ratings - and all of it feeds the SYNE Index.
Mapped to your taxonomy
Datasets can be mapped to your internal chart of accounts, product taxonomy, or supplier master data on request.
Growing catalogue
New modules and geographies are added on an ongoing basis as disclosure and regulatory requirements expand.
Sourced and licensed across 71 countries.
SYNE's data catalogue draws on primary activity, disclosure, market and government data across 71 licensed jurisdictions - spanning developed and emerging markets alike.
