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.
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
There's no credible way of tracking progress to net zero without working together
Give every supplier, customer or portfolio company the real support they need to get started
