      Comparing supplier performance at the corporate level

      This guide explains how to compare suppliers’ overall decarbonization progress, targets, and initiatives in Emitwise.

      Introduction

      Sometimes, you want to see how different suppliers stack up at a corporate or company-wide view rather than drilling into individual products. This guide explains how to compare suppliers’ overall decarbonization progress, targets, and initiatives in Emitwise.

      Step-by-Step Guide

      1. Access the Suppliers Overview

        • Go to Analyze > Suppliers Overview.
        • This page provides all the tools you need to compare suppliers at a corporate level.

      3. Identify Key Comparison Questions

        • Are these suppliers measuring Scope 1, 2, and 3?
        • Which suppliers have science-aligned targets?
        • Which suppliers are disclosing decarbonization initiatives?
        • Who has the highest (or lowest) decarbonization score?

      4. Leverage the Table Columns

        • Decarbonization Score (Insufficient, Starter, Bronze, Silver, Gold) helps you instantly see who’s leading or lagging.
        • Carbon Maturity reveals their measurement coverage.
        • Target clarifies if they’ve set or plan to set science-aligned goals.
        • Company Emission Factor can be used to compare overall emission intensities (most useful for service-oriented suppliers until product-level data is available).

      5. Interpret and Take Action

        • Comparing these metrics answers critical questions: Who needs more support? Who’s ready to collaborate on deeper emission reductions?
        • Focus your engagement on suppliers with lower scores or incomplete data to help them level up to Starter, Bronze, Silver, or beyond.

      Common Issues/Tips

      • Tip: If you only want to see top-tier or bottom-tier performers, consider filtering by Decarbonization Score.

      Conclusion

      Comparing supplier performance at the corporate level allows you to spot trends, allocate resources effectively, and prioritize which suppliers to engage next. By using the Suppliers Overview filters and key columns, you’ll have actionable insights to drive corporate-wide sustainability strategies.
