What Makes a Cool Vendor in Scope 3? Why Gartner Chose DitchCarbon

From Chaos to Confidence

Scope 3 has long been the hardest part of emissions management.

It's complex. Supplier dependent. Admin heavy. And frustratingly slow to act on.

That's exactly why we built DitchCarbon, and we're proud to share that Gartner has named us a Cool Vendor in its 2025 Cool Vendors in Supply Chain Sustainability Digital Solutions report.

This is more than a title: it's validation from one of the most trusted names in enterprise technology research.

Why Gartner Chose DitchCarbon

Here's what Gartner had to say:

DitchCarbon provides an AI-powered Scope 3 emissions data platform that enables companies to access supplier emissions data without sending supplier surveys.

This allows buying organizations to have a more targeted discussion with individual suppliers on actions needed to decarbonise.

That's the essence of our platform:

• No more repetitive supplier forms
• No more relying on industry averages
• No more guesswork in supplier engagement

Instead, teams get verified, audit ready data automatically enriched from public sources and linked directly to emissions reduction planning and procurement workflows.

What That Time Saves and What It Enables

We talk a lot about ending the Scope 3 data chase. But what matters most is what that unlocked time makes possible.

Once our customers eliminate the manual work of collecting and normalising emissions data, they can finally focus on:

• Supplier engagement programs built on real performance metrics
• Scenario tested reduction planning aligned to internal targets
• Procurement decisions made before the PO, not after the fact
• Tracking forecast vs. target, not just annual reporting

Our platform beats generic ESG tools by freeing up sustainability time for real decarbonisation.

And Gartner clearly agrees.

A Note From Our CEO

When we started DitchCarbon, we knew there had to be a better way than annual spreadsheets and unresponsive suppliers. We believed emissions data could be more automated, more auditable, and more actionable.

To now be recognised by Gartner alongside a growing list of Fortune 100 customers is incredibly validating.

We're here to help teams shift from admin to action, from chaos to clarity, and from reporting to reduction. This recognition reinforces that we're building something that matters.
