The best way to bring suppliers on your Net Zero journey
Supply chain emissions typically count for more than 75% of an organisation’s total carbon emissions. Our supplier reporting module offers an effective way to report on and manage their contribution to your footprint.
Accounting for Scope 3 emissions is essential for any organisation looking to put in place a robust carbon reduction plan and improve its sustainability credentials. But getting suppliers to record emissions data efficiently can be a challenge. That’s why we’ve developed an intelligent supplier reporting solutions within the SmartCarbon Calculator.
Our accurate, transparent and easy-to-use calculator tool makes it possible for your contractors and suppliers to account for their own emissions and share their data with you to support Scope 3 reporting.

Originally designed for use by the NHS Hospitals Trust, our supply chain tool is now used effectively by local authorities, housing providers, construction businesses and many other industries. Our reporting tool makes it easier to measure supply cain emissions and support partner organisations on their own Net Zero journey.
The SmartCarbon platform is a comprehensive tool to measure and track our performance across our full carbon footprint plus, covering all scopes of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. In what we believe is the first in the sector, we have directly engaged with our supply chain companies to support each other on the journey to net zero.

For the majority of organisations, the emissions associated with purchased goods and services and supply chain activity represents the majority of its emissions. Only measuring Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions means that a business or public-sector body cannot gain a realistic picture of its carbon emissions. While measuring Scope 3, category 1 emissions is often significantly more difficult than gathering other emissions data, it is an essential feature of carbon accounting and in tackling the climate emergency.
The SmartCarbon Calculator is a sophisticated web tool that uses current UK government approved emissions factors, international energy agency factors and a range of bespoke and sector-specific factors, where relevant, to automatically calculate a carbon footprint.
The supplier dashboard feature enables suppliers to access tools and support to calculate and then report on performance. At SmartCarbon we can advise on supplier engagement frameworks to help you embed for which our clients have received multiple awards, such as the example below.
