Carbon Footprint of Supply Chain evaluates how a company quantifies, discloses and manages the upstream greenhouse-gas emissions embedded in the goods and services it purchases and the logistics that bring them to its facilities. It covers:

• comprehensive accounting of Scope 3 Categories 1–8 under the GHG Protocol (purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel- and energy-related activities, upstream transport & distribution, waste, business travel, employee commuting, leased assets);
• supplier-specific data collection, primary-data campaigns and emission-factor selection, with data-quality assessment and improvement plans;
• integration of carbon considerations into sourcing strategy - preferred materials, low-carbon procurement criteria, internal carbon pricing, contract incentives and penalties;
• engagement programmes that build suppliers’ decarbonisation capability (training, co-investment, renewable-energy enablement, innovation partnerships);
• target-setting and performance tracking (e.g., supply-chain science-based targets, annual reduction trajectories) aligned with frameworks such as EU ESRS E1, ISSB IFRS S2 and CDP Supply Chain.
