Embrace automation in Scope 3 data collection and free up time to engage suppliers in supporting your impact reduction trajectory.
“With Carbon Maps, we've replaced time-consuming manual processes with a structured digital system that gives us real-time insight into our suppliers' sustainability maturity and initiatives. It has made our supplier engagement more consistent, more meaningful, and better aligned with evolving regulatory demands.”
Some quick facts to understand why assessing your supplier is crucial for measuring and reducing your overall emissions.
A supplier sustainability assessment evaluates the environmental and social impact of your suppliers. It helps businesses understand Scope 3 emissions, identify high- and low-performing suppliers, and stay compliant with reporting obligations like CSRD and frameworks like SBTi.
Assessing your suppliers is fundamental to managing your company's global emissions because a significant portion of your carbon footprint (often referred to as Scope 3 emissions) originates within your supply chain. By evaluating supplier performance, you gain visibility into these indirect emissions, identify hotspots, and can work collaboratively with suppliers to reduce their, and by extension, your own, overall environmental impact. This direct link helps your company meet reduction targets and contributes to broader climate goals.
Carbon Maps replaces traditional manual surveys and spreadsheets with an automated, cloud-based platform. By scaling your supplier assessments with this automation, you gain a more comprehensive view of your global emissions. This allows you to efficiently collect and validate data from a wider range of suppliers, directly revealing how their individual initiatives and performance contribute to and impact your company's overall emissions reduction trajectory. This clear visibility enables more effective, data-driven strategies for decarbonization across your entire supply chain.
Carbon Maps adapts to any level of data availability. It uses a database of over 34,000 emission factors, and when specific data is missing, it applies smart matching models to estimate the most accurate emission factors based on similar products, processes, or geographies. You get auditable results whether you're using industry averages or primary supplier inputs. As better data becomes available, your supplier assessments update automatically.
