What if a supplier has not disclosed its emissions yet?

We estimate, and we label the estimate. Where a company has published nothing, DitchCarbon applies industry and region specific emission factors, marks the figure as estimated, and shows the method behind it. A supplier that has not responded to a CDP request is treated the same way: any figures it has published elsewhere are used, and where there are none, the estimate stands and is marked as one. The estimate is replaced automatically when that organisation discloses or claims its profile and submits data.
