ESG & sustainability
Your ESG position is only asstrong as your value chain.
Most of a company's emissions, and much of its regulatory and reputational risk, sit in its value chain. We assess and engage your suppliers on ESG, and build the evidence base that CBAM, EUDR, CSDDD-style due diligence, BRSR value-chain disclosure and customer scorecards increasingly demand.
01The work
Four steps that turn pressure into an asset.
-
01
Segmentation and risk screening
Suppliers sorted by spend, substitutability and exposure across environmental, social and governance criteria.
-
02
Primary data collection
Real Scope 3 evidence to replace industry-average estimates.
-
03
Engagement and improvement plans
Practical asks, sequenced so suppliers can actually meet them.
-
04
A traceable record
Aligned to your disclosure and procurement requirements, and ready when a customer asks.
02How far the requests reach
Being out of scope does not mean being out of reach.
Value-chain requests now reach far below regulatory thresholds. Even where a company is out of direct scope, its buyers are not, and the data flows down.
-
01
Regulator
Sets the obligation on the largest companies.
-
02
In-scope buyer
Must report value-chain data, so asks its suppliers.
-
03
Tier 1 supplier
Out of direct scope, but contractually required to answer.
-
04
Tier 2 and beyond
The same question, passed down again.
A structured supplier programme turns that pressure into a manageable, defensible asset rather than an annual scramble.
03Why it matters
Why this is the hardest data to get, and the most valuable.
Scope 3, due diligence and buyer scorecards all depend on value-chain data you do not hold until you collect it.
Primary supplier data replaces industry averages, producing a more accurate and more defensible footprint — and one that improves rather than merely changes each year.
05Questions
Answered plainly.
Because Scope 3, due diligence and buyer scorecards all depend on value-chain data you do not hold until you collect it.
Primary supplier data replaces industry averages, producing a more accurate and defensible footprint.
Response rates follow from segmentation and sequencing. Asking every supplier for everything produces silence; asking the right suppliers for what they can provide produces data.
