Verified data.
Not modelled estimates.
Audit-grade. Always.
Regulatory bodies overseeing CBAM declarations, CSRD disclosures, EUDR due diligence, trade finance compliance, and ESG reporting face a fundamental problem - the data they receive is largely self-reported and unverified. SYNE One provides regulators, policy teams, and supervisory authorities with real-time access to independently verified trade and sustainability data sourced directly from 12,000+ businesses across 85 countries, grounded in actual transaction records.
Most regulatory filings are still self-reported estimates.
Whether it is CBAM carbon declarations, CSRD climate disclosures, EUDR deforestation due diligence, or trade finance sanctions screening - the data regulators receive from businesses is predominantly self-reported, methodologically inconsistent, and not independently verifiable in real time. SYNE One changes this by grounding regulatory data in independently verified transaction records, blockchain traceability, and live counterparty screening.
CBAM: sector estimates, not measurements
Most CBAM declarants use default IPCC sector intensity factors, not measured production data - making verification of declared embedded carbon nearly impossible.
EUDR: paper-based due diligence
EUDR due diligence submissions rely on paper declarations and GPS coordinates - which cannot be verified against actual land-use change without satellite cross-referencing.
CSRD: annual disclosures, not live data
CSRD disclosures arrive annually - 12–18 months after the reporting period - making real-time supervisory oversight of climate risk impossible.
Sanctions: point-in-time screening only
Most trade finance sanctions screening happens once - at onboarding - with no continuous monitoring of counterparty status changes across the transaction lifecycle.
Every carbon figure, supplier record, and trade event traceable to a specific verified transaction - not an annual consolidated estimate.
Supply chain events are anchored to an immutable distributed ledger - preventing retrospective alteration of declared origin, carbon, or compliance data.
Regulatory data updated in real time as transactions flow through the platform - enabling supervisory oversight on a continuous rather than annual basis.
SYNE's statistical models flag declarations that deviate significantly from verified sector benchmarks - surfacing potential misreporting before it reaches the regulatory register.
Why SYNE data is regulatory-grade.
The value of SYNE One for regulatory purposes is rooted in the data collection methodology - specifically, that 94% of all sustainability and trade compliance data is sourced from independently verified activity records, not self-reported questionnaires or sector models.
Three-Stage Independent Verification
Every supplier and importer on SYNE undergoes three-stage verification: document verification against issuing body registries, independent on-site audit by accredited third parties, and continuous transaction monitoring. Certified status cannot be self-asserted - it is independently confirmed before any data is classified as verified.
Blockchain Supply Chain Traceability
Every supply chain event - origin certification, processing stage, logistics handoff, customs entry - is anchored to an immutable distributed ledger. Records cannot be altered retrospectively. The full chain of custody from raw origin to end delivery is verifiable at any point in time, by any authorised party, including regulatory inspectors.
GHG Protocol Primary Data Hierarchy
Emissions data follows GHGP Primary Data Guidance - tier 1 (measured) data preferred over tier 2 (supplier-disclosed) over tier 3 (industry average). 94% of SYNE emissions data is tier 1 or tier 2. Every data point carries a provenance tag - source type, measurement methodology, uncertainty range, and verification status - visible to regulatory auditors.
Anomaly Detection & Consistency Scoring
Every CBAM declaration, CSRD disclosure, and EUDR submission generated through SYNE is automatically screened against sector benchmarks and the business's own historical data - flagging declarations where claimed carbon intensity deviates more than 25% from verified comparators, before submission to the regulatory registry.
Real-Time vs. Annual Data
Unlike most ESG reporting platforms which aggregate annual estimates, SYNE data is updated transaction-by-transaction in real time. Regulatory authorities with API access can query current emissions positions, active trade relationships, and compliance status at any point during the reporting year - not just at annual disclosure.
Certification Registry Cross-Referencing
All certifications claimed on SYNE (GOTS, FSC, ISO 14001, VERRA VCS, Gold Standard carbon credits, EUDR due diligence) are cross-referenced against the issuing body's own registry - automatically and continuously - so expired, revoked, or fraudulent certifications are flagged in real time without manual inspection.
Embedded carbon from verified production data.
For EU regulatory authorities overseeing the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, SYNE One provides a mechanism to verify CBAM declarations against independently audited production and logistics data - making it possible to distinguish legitimate low-carbon declarations from those relying on default factors or inaccurate self-reported production figures.
Measured embedded carbon per production batch
CBAM declarations generated through SYNE use energy consumption, production output, and logistics data from the actual production batch - not sector-average intensity factors. Every figure is traceable to a specific meter reading or verified invoice from the producing facility.
Supplier facility audit trail
SYNE's independent audit records for producing facilities - energy mix, production process, waste outputs - are linked to each CBAM batch declaration, enabling regulators to verify the claimed carbon intensity against the audited facility baseline.
Automated benchmark comparison
Every CBAM declaration is automatically compared against SYNE's verified sector carbon intensity benchmarks - flagging declarations where claimed embedded carbon deviates significantly from the verified distribution for that commodity and country of origin.
Pre-populated registry submissions
SYNE generates CBAM declarations in EU CBAM registry XML format - pre-populated from verified transaction data, with all required fields (declarant ID, batch quantity, commodity CN code, embedded emissions, country of origin, and production facility details) completed from platform records.
Live climate disclosures. Not annual estimates.
SYNE One provides supervisory authorities overseeing CSRD with access to real-time, verified emissions data underlying company disclosures - enabling ongoing supervisory monitoring rather than annual retrospective review of self-reported figures.
Continuous Scope 3 Monitoring
For companies using SYNE, Scope 3 emissions are calculated transaction-by-transaction from verified supply chain data - enabling supervisory authorities with API access to monitor a company's emissions trajectory in real time, flagging significant deviations from disclosed targets without waiting for annual report publication.
Supplier Data Chain Verification
Every Scope 3 figure in a CSRD disclosure can be traced through SYNE to the underlying supplier transaction - with the supplier's independently verified ESG score, certification status, and audit records available for regulatory inspection without a separate data request to the company.
XBRL Data Extraction
CSRD disclosures generated through SYNE export in ISSB XBRL taxonomy format - enabling supervisory authorities using XBRL validation tools to parse, validate, and cross-reference disclosed values against verified source data without manual document review.
Continuous counterparty screening. Not point-in-time.
SYNE One screens every counterparty - suppliers, buyers, logistics providers, and financial intermediaries - against current OFAC, EU Consolidated List, UN Security Council, and UK HM Treasury sanctions lists at onboarding and before every transaction or payment. Status changes are monitored daily and alerts raised immediately - enabling regulatory authorities to verify that businesses are applying continuous rather than point-in-time sanctions compliance.
Four-list continuous screening
OFAC, EU, UN, and UK sanctions lists cross-referenced against all counterparties at onboarding and on every list update - typically daily or more frequently following geopolitical events. All screening events logged with timestamps for regulatory inspection.
Export control screening
Dual-use goods identified at the transaction level using EU CCL, US EAR, and ITAR classification lookup - with export licence requirement flags raised before POs are confirmed, reducing inadvertent export control violations in complex supply chains.
Immutable compliance audit trail
Every sanctions screening event - the list version queried, the result, and the action taken - is logged to an immutable record available for regulatory inspection or financial crime investigation, with full timestamp and IP provenance data.
Regulatory API access to screening logs
Financial intelligence units and trade compliance authorities can query SYNE's screening log API to verify that a specific business screened a specific counterparty at a specific point in time - without requiring the business to produce its own compliance records.
Real-time data access for supervisory authorities.
SYNE One provides a dedicated Regulatory Data API - available to authorised supervisory authorities, national competent authorities, and financial intelligence units - enabling programmatic access to verified trade, emissions, and compliance data without requiring businesses to submit separate data requests.
CBAM Verification API

CSRD Verification API
Access verified Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions data for any SYNE-registered company - including data provenance metadata (source type, methodology, uncertainty range) per data point. XBRL output format for integration with ESEF validation tools.
EUDR Traceability API
Query the complete blockchain-anchored supply chain traceability record for any SYNE-registered commodity lot - returning GPS-tagged origin coordinates, land-use certification status, JRC deforestation risk cross-reference, and custody chain events from origin to EU import point.
Sanctions Screening Log API
Query the immutable sanctions screening log for any SYNE-registered business - returning every screening event, the sanctions list version used, the result, and any actions taken. Enables FIUs and financial crime investigators to verify compliance without requesting records from the subject business.
Market Aggregate Data
Anonymised and aggregated emissions intensity by sector, geography, and commodity - providing regulators with verified benchmark data for CBAM reference values, CSRD materiality thresholds, and EUDR sector risk assessments, derived from actual measured activity data rather than modelled estimates.
Access Control & Authentication
Regulatory API access is provided under a data-sharing agreement with authorised national competent authorities and supervisory bodies. OAuth 2.0 authentication, IP allowlisting, rate limiting per authority, and a full API access audit log are standard. Data subject consent and GDPR data minimisation principles are applied to all regulatory queries.
How supervisory bodies use SYNE data.
CBAM Authority - Embedded Carbon Verification
EU CBAM competent authorities use SYNE's CBAM Verification API to cross-check declarant-submitted embedded carbon figures against independently verified production data from the same facilities - flagging declarations that deviate significantly from the verified sector distribution before they are accepted to the CBAM registry.
ESMA - CSRD Supervisory Monitoring
National competent authorities designated under CSRD use SYNE's CSRD Verification API to monitor Scope 3 trajectories of in-scope companies on a quarterly basis - enabling supervisory intervention on material deviations from disclosed net-zero targets before annual report publication, rather than after.
EU EUDR Competent Authority - Deforestation Audit
EUDR competent authorities use SYNE's EUDR Traceability API to verify origin declarations for covered commodities - accessing blockchain-anchored GPS origin records cross-referenced against the JRC forest cover change dataset for rapid risk-based audit targeting.
Financial Intelligence Unit - Trade Finance Screening
FIUs investigating potential sanctions evasion in trade finance use SYNE's Sanctions Screening Log API to verify that specific counterparties were screened at specific points in time - providing an independent, immutable record that does not depend on the subject business's own compliance records.
National Statistics - Verified Benchmark Data
Statistical authorities and national competent authorities use SYNE's anonymised aggregate API to access verified sector-level carbon intensity benchmarks - derived from measured production data - for use as CBAM default values, CSRD materiality reference points, and national GHG inventory cross-checks.
Central Banks - Climate Risk Supervision
Central banks and prudential supervisors use SYNE's portfolio emissions API to assess physical and transition climate risk exposures of regulated financial institutions - cross-referencing bank loan portfolios with verified supply chain emissions data to identify concentration risks that self-reported corporate figures do not capture.
