How DitchCarbon Works

Understand your full supply chain footprint

DitchCarbon calculates emissions across your suppliers using the best available data for each case. Where product or activity data is available, it is prioritised. Where it is not, the platform uses supplier-specific spend data or industry-level factors to close the gaps.

• Create an auditable supply chain emissions baseline in days
• Improve Scope 3 calculations without manually collecting every data point
• Reduce reliance on spreadsheets and disconnected reporting files

A clearer baseline shows which suppliers, categories, and regions are contributing most to your emissions footprint.

Keep supplier emissions data up to date

Supply chain emissions change as suppliers report new data, update disclosures, or change their operations. DitchCarbon helps teams monitor those changes without rebuilding reports from scratch.

• Track updates across supplier emissions profiles
• Give procurement, sustainability, and reporting teams access to the same data
• Keep reporting outputs backed by traceable, audit-ready information

This helps teams work from current supplier data rather than static estimates that become outdated between reporting cycles.

Understand how emissions may change over time

DitchCarbon helps you model future supply chain emissions using supplier activity, reported targets, and planned reduction actions. This gives teams a practical view of where emissions are heading before decisions are made.

• Forecast progress against Scope 3 and net zero goals
• Identify suppliers or categories that may put targets at risk
• Compare reduction scenarios before committing time or budget

Forecasting helps sustainability and procurement teams plan with better evidence and explain trade-offs more clearly.

Focus action where it can make the biggest difference

Once the main emissions drivers are clear, DitchCarbon helps teams prioritise reduction opportunities across suppliers, categories, and regions.

• Identify high-impact suppliers and hotspots
• Track reduction initiatives in one place
• Measure the impact of actions over time

This gives teams a practical way to move from emissions reporting to targeted supplier decarbonisation.

Work with suppliers without adding unnecessary burden

Supplier engagement is easier when suppliers are asked for relevant information and can reuse data they already have. DitchCarbon supports supplier collaboration without relying on long, manual survey processes.

• Collect and structure supplier emissions data more efficiently
• Benchmark suppliers against peers and industry data
• Track supplier commitments, updates, and progress

The result is a supplier engagement process that supports better data quality and more focused reduction work.
