What is the community saying?

We are excited to introduce a methodology that brings carbon emissions to the heart of the commercial model, this should inspire suppliers to innovate and reduce their carbon footprints. Our goal is to offer a flexible yet impactful solution that builds carbon emissions into the heart of the commercial model and supports companies in achieving their Scope 3 emissions targets.
