Calculation is the start, not the finish
A headline Scope 3 number is essential. On its own, it does not change supplier behaviour, support procurement decisions or evidence delivery to assurance partners.
What footprint calculation misses
Old way
Spend based estimates that move only when spend moves, with no visibility on supplier behaviour.
New way
Supplier specific data that shows which suppliers are decarbonising and where to act next.
- Which suppliers actually account for your largest emissions.
- Which of those suppliers have credible targets and disclosures.
- Which switches would reduce embedded emissions, not just spend.
What a complete approach looks like
- A defensible Scope 3 baseline.
- Supplier level climate data on the categories that drive the footprint.
- Procurement workflows that turn the data into decisions.
- A transition plan tied to live supplier and procurement actions.
- An evidence pack ready for assurance year round.

Frequently asked questions
Is calculating Scope 3 enough for SBTi v2?+
Calculation gives you a baseline. Delivery needs supplier specific data, procurement action and a credible evidence trail behind every material number.
Where does footprint calculation fall short?+
When spend based data dominates the top categories, when supplier specific evidence is missing, and when there is no clear path from the number to a buyer decision.
What sits alongside calculation in a complete approach?+
Supplier level climate data, procurement workflows, transition plan delivery and an assurance ready evidence pack.
