Supply Chain Reporting
SCOPE 3 SUPPLIER EMISSIONS REPORTING
Why Supply Chain Reporting Matters
For most organisations, Scope 3 emissions make up the majority of their total carbon footprint, often far more than their own operations. Customers, investors, and public sector buyers increasingly expect a full supply chain picture, not just Scope 1 and 2.
- Public sector tenders under PPN 006 increasingly expect supply chain data, not just direct emissions.
- Investors and boards want credible Scope 3 figures to back net zero commitments.
- Customers are starting to ask suppliers directly for product and supply chain carbon data.
Frameworks including CSRD and SBTi require Scope 3 disclosure as standard.
Without reliable supplier data, Scope 3 figures are usually estimates. Estimates don’t hold up under audit, and they don’t satisfy customers who are checking your numbers.

Measure your baseline emissions
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past and are the reference point against which emission reductions can be measured.
Set carbon reduction targets
Targets allow you to judge whether the plans you made to reduce your carbon emissions are working, and whether the reductions achieved are meaningful.
Choose carbon reduction projects
Select best carbon reduction projects for you and your business, based on your values, the cost, and likely payback time.
Track progress against targets
Track your carbon emissions to reflect the changes and compare how well you are doing against the targets.
Offset remaining emissions
Offset schemes work by paying volunteers, companies or charities to do things which ‘negate’ your carbon emissions, for example, planting trees.
Get your report certified
Certification is a valuable process that provides checks and balances for the sector.

Frequently asked questions – Supply Chain
What counts as supply chain emissions?
Supply chain emissions fall under Scope 3 of the GHG Protocol. They cover everything in your value chain that isn’t your own operations or purchased energy, including purchased goods and services, transport and distribution, business travel, and the use of your products once sold. For most organisations, this is the largest share of their total carbon footprint.
Why is supply chain data so hard to collect?
Because the data doesn’t sit with you, it sits with your suppliers. Getting accurate figures usually means chasing dozens or hundreds of suppliers for information they may not track consistently, or at all. Enistic AI automates the requesting and chasing, while your named consultant checks every response before it goes into your report.
Do I need to report on all 15 Scope 3 categories?
Not necessarily. Most businesses only need to report on the categories that are material to them. Enistic starts by mapping your supply chain to identify which categories actually apply, so you’re not collecting data you don’t need.
Does supply chain reporting affect public sector tenders?
Increasingly, yes. Public sector contracts under PPN 006 are placing more weight on supply chain data, not just an organisation’s direct emissions. Having credible Scope 3 figures in place strengthens your position when bidding for these contracts.
Can Enistic guarantee our supply chain data is accurate?
Enistic has a 100% compliance record across 5,000+ reports since 2002. Every piece of supplier data collected through our platform is reviewed by an in-house carbon consultant, so nothing incomplete or inconsistent makes it into your final report.
