Supplier Data Collection

Give your suppliers a free way to share footprint data.

Many companies need better Scope 3 data from suppliers and vendors, but asking every supplier to buy carbon accounting software creates friction. Explorer gives suppliers a free, guided way to estimate their footprint and share it back with the requesting customer.

Step 1
Invite suppliers and vendors

Send Explorer survey invitations to suppliers, vendors, or product providers.

Step 2
Suppliers complete Explorer for free

Suppliers answer a guided emissions survey and receive their own footprint estimate.

Step 3
Suppliers choose to share

Suppliers explicitly share their estimate back with the requesting customer.

Step 4
Customers improve Scope 3 visibility

Customers receive more refined upstream Scope 3 data for carbon accounting and reporting.
