Ranked reduction recommendations

DitchCarbon's reduction recommendations rank every organisation and emissions category in a portfolio by how much of the total footprint acting on it would move, and attach a peer that has already done it.

Which supplier conversation actually moves my footprint?

Every organisation and emissions category in the portfolio is ranked by the share of your total footprint that acting on it would move. Each line carries a realistic reduction percentage, the tonnes behind it, and a named peer already reducing at that rate, so the shortlist arrives with its own precedent.

The hard part of reduction is not knowing that emissions should fall. It is knowing which of four hundred suppliers to call first, and what to ask them for once you have.

Each recommendation names an organisation and a specific scope or Scope 3 category, rather than the organisation alone. A supplier can be unremarkable overall and still be the single largest line in purchased goods and services, and it is the line that gets actioned, not the average.

Alongside each one sits the upstream impact in kg CO2e and the same figure as a percentage of your total. That ordering is the whole point: it puts the conversations that change the number above the conversations that are merely easy to have.

The case study column names a peer in the same sector that has already reduced at a comparable rate, with the trend period stated. It turns an ask into a precedent, which is a materially easier conversation than asking a supplier to go first.
