Decarbonizing at Scale

An easy-to-use and comprehensive GHG management solution to engage suppliers and drive decarbonization across the supply chain.

Drivers for Carbon Action Have
Never Been Stronger

Growing sustainability concerns from investors, increased demands from customers and industry peers, a surge in new climate change regulations, and massive global shifts in public opinion have put unprecedented pressure on businesses to act.

The Complex Challenge of Scope 3 Reduction

Small and medium-sized businesses account for 70% of global supply chains yet less than 15% are currently reporting on carbon. Collecting carbon data down the supply chain accurately and reliably continues
to be a complex challenge.

Buyer

Challenges in identifying high risk suppliers
Little access to supply chain carbon data
Lack of transparency or assurance of data quality
Difficulty keeping suppliers engaged

Supplier

Unable to access cost-efficient resources
Difficulty making long-term commitments
Lack of maturity

The Limitations of Typical Approaches

The vast majority of carbon reporting solutions cannot be scaled to a global supply chain and are not designed to drive performance improvement.

How do you quickly identify your high risk suppliers to prioritize for decarbonization?

How do you get trusted data beyond your largest suppliers?

How do you monitor and collaborate on performance improvement over time?

How can you embed climate action into your overall supplier sustainability program?
