In the EU—nowhere more so than in Germany—banks and leasing companies that finance equipment must prove their portfolios’ climate impact under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the EU Taxonomy, and the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) standard. That means disclosing Scope 1-3 CO₂ emissions, tagging each asset’s economic activity, and passing far stricter audits than ever before.
LECTURA turns this regulatory maze into a single, automated workflow.
Turn Raw Fleet/Portfolio Tables into Regulator-Ready Metrics
With four decades of machinery data science, LECTURA cleans, standardises, and enriches entire portfolios at asset level—model by model, adding the technical and macro-details auditors demand:
-
engine type & emission stage
-
power source, fuel curve & usage hours & more
-
NACE code, EU Taxonomy “Do-No-Significant-Harm” status & validation
-
location-based grid mix for electric or hybrid units
The result: fast, precise calculations of Scope 1-3 CO₂, energy consumption, and VOCs that slot straight into CSRD Annex E tables and PCAF Category 7/8 templates (or as individually required).
