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.
