STRUCTURING SCOPE 3

A Scope 3 figure is not yet a basis for decision-making.

A Scope 3 figure is not yet a basis for decision-making.

It shows that emissions are generated outside of one's own site. However, it does not yet say what data is behind this and where changes will really make a difference.

We structure your Scope 3 data so that it can be repeatedly collected, tracked, and used for decision-making.

Let's talk

YOUR ORDER

Involving the right partners in the right topics.

Involving the right partners in the right topics.

Data and evidence are missing in the supply chain.

At the same time, purchasing departments and suppliers should not be burdened with uncoordinated or excessively long requests.

prioritise relevant supplier groups

consolidate existing requests and data requirements

Tailor questions to suit suppliers and the occasion

Reuse returns later

WHAT WE DO

We bring enquiries into a clear process.

We bring enquiries into a clear process.

01

Prioritise suppliers

We develop criteria based on emission relevance, product group, purchasing volume or strategic importance.

02

Merge requests

We bundle customer, rating, and data requirements into a coordinated request.

03

Tailor questions appropriately

We develop tiered questions and answer options – from self-disclosure to CO₂, product, or verification data.

04

Prepare communication

We formulate the occasion, benefits and expectations clearly for the suppliers addressed.

05

Structure returns

We are creating a logic for receipt, verification, filing, and targeted follow-up discussions.

THE FOUNDATION

What makes for a good supplier approach

What makes for a good supplier approach

Clear occasion

Suppliers know why they are being approached and what their information will be used for.

Matching questions

The request is as short as possible and takes into account what a supplier can deliver.

Mutual benefit

Responses can provide hints for data, procurement, or joint improvements.

Reuse

Information serves not only a questionnaire, but also future requirements.

CLEARLY CATEGORISED

Integrating suppliers is not an audit.

Integrating suppliers is not an audit.

It does not replace an assessment of individual suppliers, due diligence, or certification. It creates a pragmatic framework for data and collaboration.

natureOffice contributes data, a CO₂ and product perspective, as well as verification logic. Terra supports dialogue, participation, and collaboration. DFGE provides support for complex Scope 3 or compliance requirements.

First the right questions. Then the joint improvement.

Together, we will look at your suppliers, your data requirements, and the approach that will really move things forward now.
