Automated Scope 3 Emissions Ledger

Eliminate the manual, error-prone process of collecting data from hundreds of suppliers. An immutable blockchain ledger automates data ingestion and verification, creating a single source of truth. This reduces the time and cost of annual sustainability audits and regulatory filings (e.g., CSRD, SEC Climate Rules) from months to days.

• Real Example: A major automotive OEM reduced its supplier data collection cycle from 12 weeks to 10 days using a permissioned ledger, cutting associated labor costs by over 70%.

Provide irrefutable, granular proof of your supply chain's carbon footprint to lenders and insurers. This verifiable data allows you to secure sustainability-linked loans (SLLs) with better rates and access green insurance premiums.

• Quantifiable Benefit: Companies with superior ESG disclosures can see a 20-30 basis point reduction in loan interest rates. A blockchain-verified ledger provides the highest assurance level for these financial instruments.

Proactively comply with evolving global mandates like the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). A tamper-proof ledger provides a defensible audit trail for regulators, protecting against fines and greenwashing accusations.

• Risk Avoidance: Fines for non-compliance with CSRD can reach up to €10 million or 5% of global turnover. A verifiable ledger is your best defense.

Move from punitive compliance requests to a collaborative network. Provide suppliers with their own data dashboard, incentivizing them to improve their scores. This creates a flywheel effect where better data improves your footprint, attracting more sustainable partners and customers.

• Real Outcome: Walmart's Project Gigaton uses a transparent tracking system to engage suppliers, who have reported over 1 billion metric tons of avoided emissions through efficiency gains.

Generate high-integrity Insetting Credits from verified emissions reductions within your own value chain. These credits, backed by immutable data, command a price premium in voluntary markets and can be used for net-zero claims with greater credibility.

• Market Advantage: Blockchain-verified carbon credits can trade at a 50-200% premium over standard credits due to guaranteed provenance and avoidance of double-counting.

Build the data infrastructure now to meet coming demand for Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) labels. Consumers and B2B buyers will soon require this. A granular, asset-level ledger allows you to calculate and certify the footprint of individual products, creating a powerful market differentiator.

• Strategic Asset: Companies like Allbirds already use product-level carbon labeling. A blockchain ledger scales this capability across your entire portfolio, turning compliance data into a sales tool.

The Pain Point: Manually collecting and validating emissions data from thousands of suppliers is slow, costly, and error-prone.

The Blockchain Fix: A shared ledger creates a single source of truth. Suppliers submit data once via smart contracts, which is then immutably recorded and automatically aggregated. This eliminates reconciliation efforts and provides a real-time view of the supply chain footprint.

Real Example: A global electronics manufacturer reduced data collection cycles from 6 months to real-time, cutting administrative costs by an estimated 30%.

The Pain Point: Preparing for regulatory audits (like EU CSRD) requires sifting through spreadsheets and emails, a high-risk process vulnerable to disputes.

The Blockchain Fix: Every data point, calculation, and attestation is time-stamped and cryptographically sealed on-chain. Auditors can verify the entire emissions history in minutes, not weeks, with guaranteed integrity.

Real Example: A European automotive supplier uses a blockchain ledger to provide regulators with a tamper-proof audit trail, slashing audit preparation time by over 70% and strengthening compliance credibility.

The Pain Point: There's little financial incentive for suppliers to invest in sustainable practices and share data.

The Blockchain Fix: Verifiable, granular emissions data on-chain enables smart contract-driven incentives. Buyers can automatically offer lower financing rates or premium contracts to suppliers who meet sustainability thresholds, directly linking ESG performance to capital.

Real Example: A major retailer is piloting a program where suppliers with verified, low-carbon logistics data on a shared ledger qualify for accelerated invoice payments, improving their working capital.

The Investment: Implementing a blockchain-based ledger requires upfront integration and change management costs.

The Quantifiable Return:

• Cost Avoidance: Reduce manual data collection, validation, and audit prep labor.
• Risk Mitigation: Eliminate fines for non-compliance or reporting errors.
• New Revenue: Access green financing and appeal to ESG-focused consumers.
• Strategic Value: Future-proof against tightening global regulations (CSRD, SEC).

Bottom Line: Early adopters report the shift from a manual, opaque process to an automated, trusted system delivers a positive ROI within 18-24 months, primarily through operational savings and reduced compliance risk.

Replace spreadsheets and email chains with a single source of truth. Smart contracts automatically aggregate emissions data from tier-1 and tier-2 suppliers onto an immutable ledger. This reduces the manual effort for data collection and validation by up to 70%, cutting weeks from your reporting cycle. Example: A major automotive OEM piloted this with battery suppliers, reducing reconciliation time from 45 days to real-time.

Create an immutable, timestamped audit trail for every emission data point. This provides regulators and auditors with verifiable proof of your carbon accounting, significantly reducing audit scope, cost, and risk. The ledger enables automated compliance with frameworks like CSRD and SEC climate rules. Example: A consumer goods company used this to streamline its B Corp recertification, cutting audit preparation time in half.

Tokenize verified emissions reductions and carbon credits directly on the ledger. This creates a new asset class that can be used for green financing or to incentivize suppliers. Suppliers with superior ESG performance can access lower-cost capital or preferential payment terms, creating a powerful flywheel for sustainability. Example: A fashion retailer's pilot enabled a fabric mill to secure a sustainability-linked loan based on its verifiable ledger data.

A focused pilot on your most material supply chain corridor delivers measurable ROI in 90 days. Key metrics include:

• Reduced FTE costs for data management and reporting.
• Lower audit and assurance fees due to automated verification.
• Risk mitigation against greenwashing accusations and non-compliance fines.
• New revenue streams from monetizable environmental assets.

Provide transparent, real-time ESG data to investors, customers, and regulators. The cryptographic proof of your supply chain emissions builds unprecedented credibility in your sustainability claims, enhancing brand value and meeting stakeholder demands for accountability. This turns a compliance cost center into a strategic trust asset.

Deploy without disrupting your ERP (SAP, Oracle) or existing sustainability platforms. Our ledger acts as a neutral verification layer, pulling data via secure APIs. This low-friction approach allows you to prove value quickly without a costly, full-scale IT overhaul. The pilot establishes the blueprint for enterprise-wide rollout.
