You lead on disclosure. The value is the category you skip.
Rank #3 of 1,247 BRSR filers, #1 manufacturer. One move now turns a blind spot into compliance cover and a sales asset: measuring use of sold products, Category 11.
Where you stand Disclosed · SR FY26
Why you're here
Use of sold products (Category 11) is in neither your inventory nor your SBTi boundary. Estimate from peer intensity. Method under How this was built. Illustrative
The number you don't report is around 4 times everything you do.
Pick where we go deeper
Four outcomes from your X-Ray. One is live end to end. The rest are one-layer previews, built out in a pilot.
Use-phase intelligence
Category 11 modelled by tyre segment. The number CSRD, IFRS S2 and your OEMs will ask for.
EUDR rubber traceability
Deforestation-free, geolocated natural rubber for every EU-bound tyre.
OEM carbon data packs
Your automakers' Scope 3 includes your tyres. Hand them the use-phase data first.
CSRD assurance-ready
Vredestein's first ESRS E1 cycle. Cat 8, 11 and 12 into assurance scope.

EUDR traceability · OEM packs
The operating rhythm · monthly, quarterly, yearly
Monthly · unit sales and rolling-resistance data land, use-phase recomputes automatically.
Quarterly · versioned inventory close, OEM data packs refresh, board pack on the use-phase pathway.
Yearly · Category 11 into the BRSR and SR for assurance, CDP and SBTi boundary re-anchored.
Everything above runs on the same inventory. No parallel spreadsheets.
Use-phase intelligence: measuring the category you skip
Month two of a pilot: segments mapped, unit and rolling-resistance data reporting, recompute ready to run. Simulated
Boundary review: use-phase confirmed material, mapped by segment
Done · 10 categories kept · Cat 11 moved inYour FY26 inventory reports 10 Scope 3 categories and excludes Category 11. For a tyremaker, rolling resistance over the life of the tyre is the single largest source. The review keeps your 10 and brings Category 11 into measurement, split by segment.

Segment & rolling-resistance data: primary data replaces proxies
62% of volume mappedUse-phase is driven by unit sales, tyre mass, rolling-resistance coefficient and representative lifetime distance, per segment. Each segment gets a scoped data request: what to report, in what format, validated on upload. Simulated cohort
| Tyre segment | Use-phase driver | Volume share | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Truck & bus radial (TBR/TBB) | Load · lifetime km · RRc | 34% | Reporting · RRc + km |
| Passenger car radial (PCR) | Fuel share · lifetime km | 28% | Reporting · label data |
| Two-wheeler | Fuel share · lifetime km | 21% | Onboarding |
| Off-highway, farm & specialty | Duty cycle · lifetime hours | 11% | Onboarding |
| Vredestein · EU premium PCR | EU tyre-label RRc | 6% | Proxy · flagged |
Use-phase recompute: watch Category 11 appear
Ready to runEach segment computes from activity data where it exists and peer-benchmarked intensity where it doesn't. This is the moment the demo exists for: the biggest number in your footprint, from zero to visible.
Publish & assure: Category 11 in the inventory
Waiting for recomputePublishing versions the inventory: your assured 10-category Scope 3 stays on record, an 11-category version sits beside it with the method note auto-drafted. The lineage pack drops straight into your S.R. Batliboi engagement.
How every number traces
Why adding your biggest category is a strength
The value on the table: from blind spot to sales asset
PreviewUse-phase is not only a compliance line. Rolling resistance is a lever you already engineer. A modest low-rolling-resistance rollout avoids in-use CO2 that lands in your OEM customers' Scope 3, the reduction they pay a premium for and that wins EU tenders. Illustrative projection
The category you don't report is the one with the biggest reduction, and the biggest commercial upside. That is the value on the table.
EUDR rubber traceability: your licence to keep selling in Europe
You already have the policy and the audits. EUDR needs one more layer: every batch of natural rubber traced, geolocated and proven deforestation-free, with a due-diligence statement per EU shipment.
The traceability ladder
Policy & framework
ASNRP aligned to GPSNR · no-deforestation commitment
Supplier assurance
100% supplier audits (FY26) · 27 dirt-free grading centres · 122 third-party audits
Plot-level geolocation
GPS polygons to source plot for every natural-rubber batch, smallholders included
EUDR due-diligence statements
Deforestation-free evidence + risk assessment, one statement per EU-bound shipment
12.66% of turnover is exports; Vredestein sells across Europe. EUDR makes traceable rubber the condition of EU market access, not a nice-to-have. Disclosed · SR FY26 Ladder illustrative
You are most of the way there. The last layer is the one Europe checks.
OEM carbon data packs: turn your use-phase number into a sales asset
Every automaker's Scope 3 includes the tyres you supply, both embodied and in-use. The tyremaker that hands them clean per-model carbon data wins the next platform. Illustrative accounts

| Global fleet & logistics operators | Fuel-saving + Scope 3 evidence for tenders | Template ready |
Every OEM questionnaire your sales team dreads becomes an export button, and a reason they specify Apollo on the next platform.
CSRD assurance-ready: Vredestein's first ESRS E1 cycle
Your European business reports under CSRD. ESRS E1 wants the full Scope 3, use-phase included, under assurance. Today three categories sit outside scope. Disclosed · SR FY26
Assured today vs what ESRS E1 needs Illustrative gap
| Item | Today | ESRS E1 needs | Move |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scope 1 & 2 | Reasonable assurance | Assured | In place |
| Scope 3 · Cat 1 to 7, 9 | Assured | Assured | In place |
| Cat 8 · upstream leased216,421 t | Reported · unassured | Assured | Into scope |
| Cat 12 · end-of-life517,620 t | Reported · unassured | Assured | Into scope |
| Cat 11 · use of sold products | Not reported | Reported + assured | Measure, then assure |
Same inventory as the use-phase track. Close these three and Vredestein's first CSRD cycle is a filing, not a fire drill.

How this demo was built
This is a simulation, and we'd rather you know exactly how it works than wonder. Everything here was generated from public documents by the Carbon OS engine, the same engine that would run on your real data in a pilot.
What's real
Marked Disclosed · SR FY26 throughout. Sourced from your FY26 Sustainability Report (15th ed.) and BRSR FY26, reasonable assurance by S.R. Batliboi (ISAE 3410), plus CDP and SBTi:
X-Ray rating 85/100, rank 3 of 1,247 · Scope 1: 268,478 · Scope 2: 208,571 (market-based) · Scope 3: 2,883,783 tCO2e across 10 categories (Cat 1 1,668,126 incl. 282,706 t FLAG · Cat 12 517,620 · Cat 8 216,421) · Category 11 not reported and outside the SBTi boundary (SR p17, p83) · Cat 8 & 12 outside assurance · CDP A− (Climate + Water) · SBTi validated near + long-term, net-zero FY50 (90% abs) · RE 44.09% · revenue ₹284.71 bn consolidated · peer scores (M&M 75, JK Tyre 64, CEAT 64, MRF 46).
What's illustrative
Marked Illustrative throughout. Built by the Carbon OS estimation engine, replaced by your data in a pilot:
The Category 11 use-phase estimate (≈13 Mt, range 9 to 16 Mt) and its segment splits · the 10% LRR avoided figure (≈1.3 Mt/yr) · the OEM account allocations · supplier and segment counts, artifact files and the 62% mid-pilot state · projected rating 90.
Method: the 9 to 16 Mt use-phase range
Why we demo this way
Nothing here pretends to be your live account. Carbon OS is a working platform. The artifacts, datasets and methodology rails under this demo are the real product. The outcome tracks are simulations built to find out, with you, which problem matters most. If this direction is right, a scoped pilot replaces every amber label with your data, usually inside 90 days.
We'd rather show you an honest simulation than a pretend product. The X-Ray is real, the engine is real, and the gap is real.
