During London Climate Action Week 2026, Formist, the AI agent developed in-house by WeCarbon, became a PACT Conformant Solution and joined the WBCSD PACT Network. This shows that Formist's technical integration and data interoperability are fully aligned with internationally recognised standards.

The Partnership for Carbon Transparency (PACT), run by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), aims to reduce emissions in value chains through data transparency. PACT has developed a framework to improve transparency and works towards consistent calculation and exchange of product-level emissions across all value chains and industries.
PACT runs a PACT Conformance Test to verify whether a solution meets the PACT Technical Specifications. Solutions that pass all tests are recognised as PACT conformant and listed in the official PACT Network directory. Formist has passed the test.
Formist bridges the gap between companies' original business documents and global disclosure rules. An AI form assistant developed in-house by WeCarbon, Formist supports a wide range of international frameworks, including CBAM, the GHG Protocol, CSRD/ESRS and product carbon footprint (PCF) exchange. It accepts input in Chinese, English, French and other languages and can parse many kinds of unstructured sources, such as invoices, bills of lading, test reports, screenshots, emails and IoT sensor data. Its proprietary agentic AI engine extracts key information, maps it accurately across documents with full traceability, and produces regulator-ready XML, Excel or PDF reports in one click.

Going forward, WeCarbon will keep improving Formist's AI engine, extend it to more vertical applications in key industries and integrate it more deeply into the global PACT ecosystem, helping manufacturers and supply chain companies in China and worldwide turn the data burden of CBAM, CSRD and other compliance requirements into a green competitive advantage.
About PACT and WBCSD
The Partnership for Carbon Transparency (PACT) was launched by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) in 2020 to reduce emissions in value chains through data transparency. PACT is building global infrastructure for exchanging product carbon data, a "SWIFT system" for carbon data: it harmonises accounting methodologies based on ISO, the GHG Protocol and other recognised standards and creates a system for data exchange across software and organisations. PACT has built a global product carbon footprint network covering dozens of accounting software solutions and millions of product data records, and will continue to connect with China's national carbon systems, helping carbon data flow securely and reliably between China and the rest of the world.
The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) is an international organisation closely associated with the United Nations. A global coalition led by the CEOs of more than 200 companies, it works to accelerate global sustainable development by helping sustainable businesses become more successful. It aims to create the maximum positive impact for stakeholders, the environment and society, and to help its member companies become more successful and sustainable.
