Corporate Footprinting for Complex Value Chains

Scope 3 emissions often make up the majority of a company’s total footprint. In some sectors, they reach over 90%. Tracking value chain emissions helps large companies meet regulatory requirements, including EU CSRD and California SB 253, and support ISSB/IFRS S2-aligned disclosures. It also supports SBTi target setting and progress tracking, helps respond to stakeholder and customer pressure, and enables companies to prioritize the highest-impact suppliers, products and activities as they build credible transition plans.

AITrack calculates Scope 3 emissions by building corporate GHG inventories across all Scope 3 categories using a flexible, hybrid LCA approach. We use custom activity-based LCA models for all high-impact items and integrate supplier-provided data where available. This provides granular insights across the product portfolio and supply chain network. Spend-based estimates are used to fill remaining gaps while maintaining auditability across the full corporate inventory.

This approach enables companies to identify emissions hotspots and track measurable progress toward targets, informing effective decarbonization actions.

AITrack uses primary data from clients and suppliers, including bills of materials (BoMs), manufacturing data, supplier surveys, product specifications, environmental product declarations (EPDs), purchase orders and other operational inputs. Data can be collected through API integrations, file uploads or AITrack’s Supply Chain Engagement solution. Through this solution, suppliers can provide existing LCA or PCF results with linked documentation, or calculate the impacts of their own products.

AITrack also draws on its own industry-leading LCA activity database, covering 500K+ industrial, energy, and agricultural activities from 300+ sources. Even with incomplete or unstructured data, AITrack’s automated pipelines and expert support help clients standardize and scale workflows over time.

The first corporate footprint results are typically available within 2–6 months, depending on the complexity of the value chain, number of products, primary data availability and reporting needs. AITrack supports rapid development of custom activity-based LCAs at scale. Our experts help fill data gaps and generate quality results in time for reporting deadlines. The process is collaborative and iterative, so results improve as data quality and coverage increase.

AITrack helps companies efficiently set and track science-based targets for SBTi, including forest, land and agriculture (FLAG) targets. The process starts with a granular Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG inventory for all material categories, which helps organizations address key SBTi requirements and determine whether FLAG targets are needed. 

AITrack works with you to define each target’s boundary, timeframe, and method, in line with your company’s ambition and SBTi standards and guidance. We also support client documentation from the commitment letter through final validation submission.

Once targets are set, AITrack enables you to track year-on-year progress, identify emissions hotspots, and prioritize mitigation actions through our Mitigation Strategy solution. AITrack also supports new target setting and updates to existing targets. With streamlined calculations and automation, rebaselining past inventory years can be completed more efficiently, reducing timelines from months to days.

AITrack supports assurance readiness by making corporate footprint data transparent, traceable, and easy to review. Our system automatically timestamps data transactions, tracks user-platform handoffs, and generates audit trails with full versioning.

Auditors are given specialized user rights to view an interactive report tailored to the assurance process, showing the primary data sources, calculation steps, methodologies, and line-item results. AITrack also offers optional pre-assurance reviews to identify potential issues before formal assurance engagements, to reduce risk and streamline the process.

Yes. AITrack supports assessment for water stress, biodiversity and other environmental impacts, in addition to GHG emissions. By combining life cycle inventory data with science-based impact assessment methods, AITrack helps companies prepare for evolving frameworks such as the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and Science Based Targets Network (SBTN). It also helps clients reduce blind spots by providing a broader view of environmental priorities.

AITrack includes an Azure cloud-based platform built for enterprise-grade cybersecurity and data protection. It is SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certified, supports single sign-on (SSO), and gives clients full control to customize access rights based on user roles. AITrack’s proactive security control ensures that only authorized users can view, edit, or approve data across teams and workflows, while keeping data secure.
