Supply Chain Engagement:
Scope 3 Visibility & Sustainable Sourcing
Collect, validate, and integrate supplier data at scale to improve Scope 3 visibility, accelerate supply chain decarbonization, and enable sustainable sourcing.
Companies need reliable supplier data to improve Scope 3 accuracy, strengthen procurement decisions, and accelerate decarbonization progress. However, engaging every supplier can be inefficient, and many lack product-level impact data.
AITrack helps you focus on the suppliers that matter most. It enables you to collect and validate supplier-provided life cycle assessment (LCA), environmental product declaration (EPD), and product carbon footprint (PCF) data, and then integrate high-confidence results into your corporate inventory. AITrack also equips suppliers with a guided, expert-built LCA tool to assess their own product impacts. By expanding visibility beyond Tier 1 suppliers, AITrack helps you make better decisions across sustainable sourcing, product development, mitigation planning, and reporting.
How AITrack supports supply chain engagement
What sets AITrack apart for supply chain engagement
Target the suppliers that matter most: We help you pinpoint emissions hotspots across multi-tier supply chains with AITrack’s integrated corporate and product assessments, so you can prioritize high-impact suppliers instead of engaging your entire supplier base.
Equip suppliers to provide audit-grade data: We enable suppliers to calculate the impacts of their own products with our expert-built, category-specific LCA tool, supported by built-in mass balance checks and data quality controls. This helps remove documentation barriers and generate reliable data for reporting and action.
Turn data into action in one platform: We help you integrate validated supplier data into a Scope 3 inventory built on scalable activity-based LCAs. This creates a trusted data foundation to inform procurement, reporting, mitigation planning, and product strategy.

Frequently asked questions
-
Why do companies need to engage suppliers to measure and reduce Scope 3 emissions?
Most Scope 3 emissions come from activities outside a company’s direct operations, often across complex, multi-tier supply chains. Activity-based LCA helps companies identify the biggest supply chain emissions hotspots and reduction opportunities, and fast-track supplier engagement around specific data needs and commitments.
Activity-based LCA data also creates the foundation for joint action. Using this data, companies and suppliers can work together to adopt lower-impact materials or processes and make measurable progress toward climate mitigation on both ends. -
How does AITrack help companies target the right suppliers for engagement and decarbonization?
AITrack helps companies focus supplier engagement where it can have the greatest impact. By leveraging activity-based LCAs at scale, AITrack identifies the processes, materials, and upstream activities driving emissions for specific products and suppliers.
This allows companies to prioritize high-impact suppliers, whether they are Tier 1, Tier 2 or further upstream. Rather than simply requesting data, companies can direct resources toward meaningful joint decarbonization actions. -
Can AITrack help suppliers calculate product impacts if they do not have existing data?
Yes. AITrack equips suppliers without existing LCA, environmental product declaration (EPD) or product carbon footprint (PCF) data with Product Impact Builder. With this expert-built assessment tool, they can calculate cradle-to-gate impacts for their own products.
Suppliers can enter product and material information through a guided workflow tailored to their specific product categories. AITrack supports data quality with automated validation (such as mass balance checks) and quality ratings. This helps close supplier data gaps, improve response rates, and generate more reliable product impact data for measuring and reducing Scope 3 emissions. -
How does AITrack assess supplier data quality?
AITrack reviews supplier-submitted life cycle assessments (LCAs), environmental product declarations (EPDs), product carbon footprints (PCFs) and supporting verification documentation. It assigns quality grades based on documentation type and verification status, helping companies identify reliable supplier data to integrate into their Scope 3 inventory.
-
How does AITrack integrate supplier data into corporate Scope 3 inventories and mitigation strategies?
AITrack enables companies to review and integrate high-confidence supplier responses into their corporate Scope 3 inventory, using automated quality indicators and validation flags for supplier-submitted data. Each data point maintains a clear audit trail from supplier data collection through final reporting.
Because AITrack’s mitigation planning solution is built on the corporate inventory, integrated supplier data can directly inform decarbonization project planning and the assessment of each project’s impact and cost. This helps companies turn supplier insights into targeted, cost-effective mitigation actions. -
How does Bureau Veritas’ global network support supplier engagement?
Backed by 80,000 employees and an on-the-ground presence in 140+ countries, Bureau Veritas’ global network complements AITrack’s digital capabilities to provide full supply chain support. This includes primary data collection from sites and suppliers, pre-assurance and pre-verification of sustainability data and reporting processes, and implementation support for energy efficiency, renewable energy and mitigation projects.
