Support your suppliers and customers with GHG Accounting.

You need access to emissions data from your value chain. Sumday helps you get it by leading with education (and roping in the accountants, finally).

Suppliers, borrowers and portfolio companies often make up over 90% of your overall emissions. Without primary data, that ~90% is kinda made up. You can't credibly track progress to net zero without it.

Pass on market leading education, training, tools and support to every single company in your value chain with Sumday. True engagement starts here.

Engaging your value chain with (and without) Sumday

Teach everyone how to fish and start getting consistent, audit ready GHG reports from every company, every year - this is the future of accounting.

Sumday provides your customers and suppliers with:

Access to comprehensive GHG accounting training in line with global GHG Protocol so they can start reporting year on year

Access to an Accounting Support team, CPAs and CAs who are ready to answer their questions

Access to Sumday's accounting software to streamline the accounting process if they need tools to get it done

The ability to pass this all on to finance or their external accountant to get it done, with training and support for those best placed professionals to get up to speed

Tutorials that guide the preparation of an audit ready baseline emissions assessment, essential for setting SBTi Net Zero targets

Industry updates on the how and why behind carbon accounting and exclusive webinars

Organisations without Sumday provide companies with:

Nothing; or

A request for suppliers to set an SBTi target with support on how to get there

A CDP request most suppliers don't complete

A form requesting self reported data from utilities and fuel, hoping it's auditable

Three unavoidable truths

Your scope 3 emissions won't reflect your actual value chain unless you can engage and replace averages with actuals.

You can not reduce scope 3 emissions without data from your value chain - no SBTi Net Zero target will actually be reached.

You can't make procurement or investment decisions based on carbon impact without reliable data from your value chain.

Without primary data, you'll be relying on industry averages that are not indicative of your actual scope 3 emissions. Every enterprise platform in the world is relying on this without an affordable way to truly educate and support suppliers, large and small, to improve this over time.

A peek into week 1

A peek into the Sumday Academy, so your suppliers and portfolio companies can upskill their teams.

Why provide this support?

It's best practice to take an education and community driven approach to this scope 3 challenge - bring everyone along on the journey

Demonstrate that you have attempted to remove the barriers to accessing primary data in a practical way - something you can disclose

Improve access to primary emissions factors for every customer, supplier or portfolio company that completes their emissions assessment

Reward suppliers that take the steps you desperately need to reduce your own emissions based on auditable evidence of their achievements

FAQs

If we haven’t answered your question below, feel free to get in touch

What questions should we ask suppliers?

We've made that easy with template questions that focus on collecting the data you need to improve the quality of your carbon accounting. Ask us about custom questions too.

What happens after the free access period?

Your suppliers, portcos and customers have free access to all of Sumday's leading education, software and support for two months - plenty of time to engage, learn and complete a baseline. After the free period they can download the work they've done and plenty of helpful resources, keeping their free account to track and respond to future requests. If they want to continue using Sumday they can subscribe. Sumday's enterprise grade software is affordable and accessible for companies large and small, starting at $79 per month for SMBs with less than $20Min turnover.

Can Sumday help us communicate the value of carbon accounting to our suppliers?

Yes! This isn't about filling in a form, it's about working together on emission reduction. But to get there, companies need to upskill, understand why, how and report on progress in an affordable way. We provide template emails for you to give suppliers the heads up that you're here to support them by making resources available through Sumday.

What are your response rates like?

Response rates vary, we've seen enterprise organisations with 85% response rates in Sumday and even small businesses with up to 35%. It's a journey, understanding what suppliers even respond to you when it comes to sustainability is a very valuable insight. There's no net zero without their engagement after all, you can use Sumday to understand who is willing to join you on the journey, support those who are and make decisions on those who are not over time.

There's no credible way of tracking progress to net zero without working together
