        3. Click Screen to pull publicly available data such as:
          • Carbon maturity (e.g., do they measure Scopes 1, 2, and 3?)
          • Emissions target status (e.g., science-based targets)
          • Decarbonization initiatives
        4. Repeat this for multiple suppliers.

      4. Segment Your Suppliers

        1. In any suppliers table, use Filters to group suppliers by:
          • Industry or headquarters country
          • Decarbonization score (e.g., Bronze, Silver, Gold)
          • Carbon maturity or target status
          • Spend categories or custom fields in your data
        2. Save or export filtered lists to focus on high-impact or high-priority suppliers.

        Tip: Segmentation helps you plan targeted engagement strategies and set more meaningful reduction goals.
