Scope 3, Category 1 emissions from purchased goods and services are among the most challenging in carbon reporting, requiring extensive data management, intricate calculations, and close supplier collaboration. Enterprises often manage millions of purchase records across thousands of suppliers, demanding robust data ingestion, classification, and automation.
Detailed calculations beyond traditional tools are needed, using spend, averages, and supplier-specific data. The complexity is heightened by overlapping categories like 3.1, 3.2, and 3.4. For supply chain-intensive industries, this category often accounts for over 50% of total emissions, making accurate tracking and reduction crucial for sustainability goals and compliance, yet it's a persistent challenge for businesses.
Manish Kumar, Assistant Vice President of Product Management at Lythouse, said, “Our expertise in supply chain is a result of more than 25 years of experience with Zycus source to pay products. We are extending this expertise to create Lythouse – Green Supplier Network and help our clients simplify their supply chain emission computations and management.”
