Supplier electricity map

Electricity is the part of a supplier's footprint with a known route down: the supplier can buy low-carbon power, and the market for it already exists. Acting on that across global supply chains takes a view most Scope 3 programmes do not have: how much electricity is behind your purchases, and which grids it is drawn from.

The map answers that for one project at a time. Four tiles sit above it: the electricity allocated to your spend in megawatt hours, the share of your embodied emissions that electricity represents, the share of it sitting with organisations that hold a near-term Scope 2 target, and the low-carbon share of the whole portfolio. The figures are the electricity of the organisations you buy from, allocated to you. Your own Scope 2 stays out of it, and spend with electricity sellers is excluded for the same reason.

Beside the map, a table groups organisations by country, largest electricity emissions first. Each row carries its megawatt hours, its share of your emissions, its position against the local grid, RE100 membership, Scope 2 target status, the method behind the figure and a suggested action. Open a row for the detail and the source document.

Three preset questions change what the map counts: all portfolio electricity, the part of it that is not yet low-carbon, and the part to plan energy attribute certificates or PPAs for. Filter by industry or region, and step back through reporting years to 2019.
