# 🚀 What you can do with Ditch Carbon
First question - What data do you have to begin with ? We can calculate the carbon impact of almost anything using a combination of GHG protocol approved calculations and our unparalleled database of company and product disclosures.
🏢 Company data

🚚 Material data
So whatever tool, app or platform you are building we'd love you to integrate emissions data into it, the more information users have the more informed their decision making can be.

🏢 Company level data
We hold 2 types of records on companies which we serve using our supplier api
Direct - This means they have disclosed their carbon footprint, we have captured it and will return all the relevant data, including the scope breakdown as well as source materials
Indirect - This means we they have not yet disclosed their carbon footprint so we calculate emissions based on their industrial classification.
Both calculation methods are in line with the GHG protocol guidance though as you'd expect the direct method is more accurate.
💻 Product
IT equipment uses a lot of carbon, both in its manufacture and its use - especially servers. our IT API covers this, just pass the make, model, use and location and we'll return the emissions. We flex the results based on the location, this is important due to the vast differences in the carbon intensity of the local energy grids.
We now also support construction materials and will soon be adding a lot more data - get in touch if you need data in a particular segment !
