Supplier specific emissions data

Supplier specific emissions data is information that comes from the actual supplier, not an industry average.

Short answer

Supplier specific emissions data is emissions information sourced from a named supplier rather than estimated from spend. SBTi v2 expects more of it.

Why it matters

It tells you which suppliers are decarbonising and which are not. That is the difference between a Scope 3 number on a page and a Scope 3 plan you can act on.

Where to start

Begin with the suppliers behind the largest share of your Scope 3. Use public disclosures first, then engage suppliers for the gaps that materially change the answer.
