Product carbon footprint data for SAP Ariba Buying, base edition

Make progress towards your carbon reduction goals -- no sustainability degree required. Enterprises are now regulated to measure and reduce their supply chain carbon emissions, and are wondering where to start. DitchCarbon makes emissions measurement and reduction part of normal buying operations, by embedding manufacturer-reported carbon footprint data directly into SAP Ariba Buying, base edition purchasing flows.

Overview

Enable simple carbon emissions reduction

With carbon footprint data embedded in regular purchasing workflows, operational buyers with no sustainability expertise can easily make carbon-conscious purchase decisions that support company-level emissions reductions goals.

Reduce the cost of carbon measurement with auditable data trails

Manufacturers are reporting new company and product-level data all the time. Instead of paying armies of consultants to find and normalize this data, generate an auditable paper trail of manufacturer-reported carbon data connected directly to your organization's purchasing activities.

Enjoy broad data coverage aligned with the GHG Protocol

Smart fallbacks aligned with the Green House Gas Protocol maximize data coverage while maintaining auditability. Where manufacturers have reported product-level data, it is provided. When manufacturers haven't disclosed product-level data, manufacturer spend-based emissions estimates are used as a fallback. This ensures that wherever possible operational buyers have auditable data available to inform purchase decisions.

Features

Embedded within purchase flows

Most operational buyers are not trained in sustainability, yet their decisions drive company supply chain emissions. The good news: research shows that when buyers are provided carbon data during purchases, they naturally adjust their purchase behavior to favor lower-carbon options.
