Supplier Reduction Actions Dataset for Decarbonisation
Access structured data on the emissions reduction actions suppliers are taking, including renewable energy, energy efficiency, low-carbon materials, logistics, and circularity.
The DitchCarbon Supplier Reduction Actions Dataset provides structured, verifiable data on the specific decarbonisation initiatives disclosed by companies globally. It moves beyond high-level climate commitments and targets to capture the tangible steps organisations are taking to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. This dataset is designed for procurement, sustainability, and supply chain teams who need to understand, track, and encourage climate action within their value chain.
While climate targets signal intent, they do not provide visibility into the execution of decarbonisation strategies. This dataset bridges that gap. It allows organisations to track the 'how' behind the 'what', providing a granular view of the specific levers suppliers are pulling. Understanding these actions is critical for assessing the credibility of a supplier's climate plan and for identifying opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing across the value chain.
Our data is compiled from a wide array of public sources, including corporate sustainability reports, CDP disclosures, company websites, and other climate-related publications. DitchCarbon's systems continuously scan and process this information, using a combination of natural language processing and human review to extract, classify, and standardise each disclosed action. This process ensures the data is not only comprehensive but also consistent and ready for analysis.
The dataset categorises actions into distinct types such as renewable energy adoption, operational efficiency improvements, low-carbon material substitution, and logistics optimisation. Each entry is enriched with metadata, including the source of the information, the reported year, implementation status, and its relevance to Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. This detailed, evidence-backed approach allows users to build a clear picture of their suppliers' decarbonisation activities and maturity.
