The Challenge
What Global Manufacturer faced
As a global manufacturer sourcing raw materials from complex agricultural supply chains, they faced the challenge of measuring Scope 3 emissions that dwarfed their operational footprint — while navigating multiple reporting frameworks across different jurisdictions.
Complex global supply chain with raw materials sourced from agricultural producers worldwide
Scope 3 emissions estimated at 80%+ of total footprint, but with limited visibility into actual numbers
Multiple reporting requirements across jurisdictions (UK SECR, EU CSRD preparation)
Manufacturing operations with significant energy consumption and waste streams
Customer demand (major FMCG brands) for supply chain carbon transparency
The Solution
How Climatise helped
Climatise conducted a comprehensive Scope 3 screening, established baselines across all 15 GHG Protocol categories, and prioritised the supply chain categories that mattered most for reduction.
Full Scope 3 Screening
All 15 GHG Protocol Scope 3 categories screened using spend-based analysis, with Category 1 (purchased goods) identified as the dominant source.
Supplier-Specific Data
Key raw material suppliers engaged via automated questionnaires to replace spend-based estimates with primary data for top emission sources.
Multi-Framework Reporting
UK SECR report generated alongside CSRD-aligned data collection for EU operations, using consistent methodology across both frameworks.
Reduction Prioritisation
Data-driven prioritisation of supply chain interventions: renewable energy procurement, logistics optimisation, and supplier engagement for top-20 raw materials.
Beyond Reporting
Supply Chain Transparency
All 15 GHG Protocol Scope 3 categories screened and baselined
Automated supplier questionnaires replacing spend-based estimates with primary data
Dual-framework compliance across UK SECR and EU CSRD
Data-driven prioritisation targeting top-20 raw material suppliers
