Strategic Insight
Typically, approximately 10% of suppliers generate 80% of Scope 3 emissions. Focus your engagement efforts on these high-impact vendors to move from generalised industry averages toward requesting primary data.
Troubleshooting
Duplicated Suppliers
Consolidate name variations in the Audit Page. For example, "ACME Corp" and "Acme Corporation" should be merged into one.
Zero Emissions for a supplier
Verify that emission factors are correctly matched to the supplier's categories in the Audit Page.
Unknown Suppliers
Navigate to the Audit Page to refine data entry or mapping for unidentified supplier names.
