How It Works

The Supply Chain Analysis dashboard transforms your spend and procurement data into actionable supplier emissions intelligence. Understand vendor impact, prioritise engagement, and transition from industry averages to primary supplier data over time.

Aggregate Supplier Data

The dashboard automatically aggregates transactions by supplier from your uploaded data and accounting integrations. Each vendor's purchases are totalled to show their share of your procurement activity.

Calculate Supplier Emissions

Using spend-based emission factors initially, the system calculates estimated emissions for each supplier. Suppliers are categorised by industry sector (Energy, Food Production, Buildings, etc.) for appropriate factor application.

Rank by Carbon Impact

Suppliers are automatically ranked by total emissions and percentage of your Scope 3 total. The 80/20 rule typically applies—a small number of suppliers represent most of your supply chain carbon footprint.

Drill Into Transactions

Click 'View Records' to see specific transactions contributing to any supplier's emissions. Access the Carbon Ledger filtered to that vendor for detailed verification and analysis.

Prioritise Engagement

Use rankings to prioritise supplier engagement efforts. Focus on high-impact vendors for primary data requests, EPD collection, and collaborative decarbonisation initiatives.

Why Use Supply Chain Analysis Dashboard

Focus Where It Matters

Stop treating all suppliers equally. The dashboard reveals which vendors drive your supply chain emissions, enabling focused engagement that delivers measurable Scope 3 reductions.

Data-Backed Prioritisation

Replace assumptions with data. Know exactly which suppliers to engage first based on carbon impact, not gut feel or procurement volume alone.

Transition to Primary Data

Start with spend-based estimates, then systematically replace them with supplier-specific EPDs and LCA data. Track your data quality improvement journey.

Sector-Level Insights

Understand which industry sectors contribute most to your supply chain emissions. Identify structural procurement patterns that could shift toward lower-carbon alternatives.

Support Supplier Engagement Programs

Generate the evidence needed to justify supplier engagement investments. Show leadership exactly which vendors should be targeted and why.

Demonstrate Supply Chain Due Diligence

Stakeholders increasingly expect supply chain emissions management. The dashboard provides the visibility needed for investor queries, customer questionnaires, and climate disclosures.

Who Needs Supply Chain Analysis Dashboard

Procurement Managers

Understand the carbon implications of procurement decisions. Identify opportunities to shift spend toward lower-emission suppliers or negotiate emissions reduction commitments.

Sustainability Managers Tackling Scope 3

Scope 3 represents the majority of most organisations' emissions. The dashboard provides the supplier-level visibility needed to develop meaningful reduction strategies.

Supply Chain Sustainability Teams

Dedicated supply chain decarbonisation efforts need clear targeting. Know which suppliers to engage, what data to request, and how to track improvement.

CDP and Climate Disclosure Teams

Supplier engagement is a key CDP scoring criteria. Demonstrate systematic supplier emissions management with data-backed engagement strategies.

Companies Facing Supply Chain Pressure

If your customers are asking about your emissions, you'll soon need to ask your suppliers. Get ahead of downstream requests with proactive supply chain analysis.

"The 80/20 insight was real for us—just 12 suppliers represented 78% of our supply chain emissions. Instead of engaging 500+ vendors, we focused intensively on those 12. Much more manageable."

Impact:

12 suppliers = 78% of supply chain emissions
Focused engagement dramatically improved
EPD collection from 8 of 12 priority suppliers

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Supply Chain Analysis Dashboard

How are supplier emissions calculated?

Initially, supplier emissions use spend-based calculation with industry-specific emission factors (EEIO). Your spend with a supplier is multiplied by the appropriate emission factor for their industry sector. As you collect supplier-specific data (EPDs, LCAs), these replace generic factors for higher accuracy.

What's the 80/20 rule in supply chain emissions?

The 80/20 rule (Pareto principle) often applies to supply chain emissions: approximately 20% of suppliers typically account for 80% of Scope 3 emissions. This insight enables focused engagement—you don't need to engage every supplier, just the high-impact ones.

How do I handle duplicate supplier names?

Different naming conventions ('Origin Energy' vs 'Origin Energy Pty Ltd') can create apparent duplicates. Use the Audit Page to consolidate supplier names into consistent entries. The dashboard will then aggregate correctly.

What if a supplier shows zero emissions?

Zero emissions typically means the emission factor wasn't matched correctly. Navigate to the Audit Page to review how transactions were categorised. Adjust sector classification or category assignment to ensure appropriate factors are applied.

Can I track supplier engagement progress?

Yes. As you collect primary data from suppliers and replace generic factors with EPD/LCA data, their emission calculations update. Track data quality improvement over time through the Audit Trail confidence scores.

How do I request data from high-impact suppliers?

Use the export function to generate a priority supplier list. NetNada's Supplier Engagement features help you send data requests, track responses, and manage primary data collection. Contact suppliers requesting EPDs, LCAs, or emissions data for their products/services.

What sectors are suppliers categorised into?

Common sectors include Energy, Buildings and Infrastructure, Food Production, Transportation, Professional Services, Information Technology, and Manufacturing. Categorisation is based on industry classification of supplier transactions.

How does this relate to CDP supplier engagement questions?

CDP specifically scores supplier engagement activities. The Supply Chain Analysis dashboard provides the foundation for demonstrating systematic supplier emissions management—which suppliers you're engaging, how you prioritise them, and what data you're collecting.
