From Scope 3 Ambition into Supply Chain Action

September 26, 2025 EcoVadis EN

Scope 3 emissions account for more than 70% of a company’s carbon footprint, yet they remain the hardest to measure and reduce. EcoVadis Carbon Action Manager bridges this gap by transforming ambition into measurable supply chain progress.

It empowers companies to act across the five critical levers for Scope 3 decarbonization outlined in  the Carbon Action Report 2025, developed with BCG: supplier engagement, emissions measurement, climate-aligned management, credible transition planning, and smarter allocation of emissions reduction budgets.

The platform enables organizations to map carbon hotspots, engage suppliers with tailored actions, and track carbon maturity through a structured model ranging from beginner to leader. Already trusted by more than 350 global companies, Carbon Action Manager has assessed 83,000+ suppliers and published 133,000+ carbon scorecards, driving measurable improvements — 42% of reassessed suppliers improve their maturity level after repeated engagement.

Case studies from leaders such as Hitachi Rail and Atos demonstrate how the tool integrates reliable supplier data into carbon accounting, reduces risks and accelerates supplier progress toward net zero. From boosting the accuracy of Scope 3 calculations to shifting procurement spend toward more climate-mature suppliers, the results are tangible.

With $500 billion in corporate value at risk annually from unmanaged climate transition, now is the time to close the Scope 3 execution gap. Carbon Action Manager provides the tools and insights to make supply chain decarbonization real.
