Scope 3 & Supplier Emissions

Scope 3 is where the emissions - and the data pain - really live. We make supplier and value-chain emissions collectable, not impossible.

A Scope 3 capability built on Microsoft Sustainability Manager, with a Scope 3 Hub that uses AI to read unstructured supplier data and an ESG portal that collects primary data directly from your suppliers and customers - so material Scope 3 categories become reportable, not estimated away.

Accelerate business value with Scope 3 & Supplier Emissions

Scope 3 is usually the largest part of a footprint and the hardest to measure. Data sits with hundreds of suppliers in inconsistent formats, primary data is scarce, and spend-based estimates are too coarse for assurance. Under AASB S2, material Scope 3 becomes mandatory from the second reporting year - so this problem is now on a clock.

We deploy a Scope 3 Hub that uses AI to ingest and structure unstructured supplier documents, and an ESG Supplier and Customer Portal that collects primary emissions data directly from your value chain. Together they lift Scope 3 from coarse spend-based estimates toward defensible, primary-data reporting on the categories that matter.

Scope 3 Hub with Utility AI

AI reads unstructured supplier documents - invoices, statements, certificates - and turns them into structured, factor-ready activity data.

  • Unstructured document ingestion
  • AI extraction to activity data
  • Human-in-the-loop validation

ESG Supplier & Customer Portal

An external portal that collects primary emissions data directly from suppliers and customers, with workflows that chase and validate responses.

  • Primary-data collection
  • Automated supplier follow-up
  • Response validation and scoring

Category materiality

We identify which of the 15 Scope 3 categories are material for you, so effort goes where the emissions actually are.

  • 15-category screening
  • Materiality prioritisation
  • Data-quality tiering

Spend-to-primary pathway

Start with spend-based estimates for coverage, then replace them with primary data category by category as suppliers respond.

  • Spend-based baseline
  • Progressive primary-data uplift
  • Data-quality flags on every figure
