Scope 3 is universally cited as the hardest CSRD pillar — covering everything from purchased goods to logistics to how your customers use your products. We map ESG and carbon hotspots across your tier-1 and tier-2 suppliers, then build a risk-tiered improvement plan defensible in a CSRD value-chain disclosure or OEM cascade audit.
Fixed-scope, fixed-price. €6,500 — final quote confirmed after a free scoping call.
A visual, risk-tiered map of your supply chain ESG hotspots — showing where your highest carbon, labour, water and governance risks sit across tier-1 and selected tier-2 suppliers.
Structured scorecards sent to and returned from up to 25 suppliers, capturing Scope 1/2 energy data, waste, water, labour practices and management-system certifications in a consistent format.
A prioritised action plan for your highest-risk tier-1 suppliers — specific interventions, responsible parties, timelines and expected emissions/ESG impact reductions.
Updated supplier code of conduct and procurement policy language aligned with your CSRD value-chain disclosures and any OEM sustainability requirements you face downstream.
A ready-to-use Excel/Sheets tracker for monitoring supplier progress, re-scoring scorecards each quarter, and building the longitudinal data trail CSRD auditors will expect.

Scope 3 is required under CSRD ESRS E1 for companies subject to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. Under the post-Omnibus rules, large companies (500+ employees, €50M+ turnover or €25M+ balance sheet) remain in scope for first reporting year FY2025 (reports due 2026). Upstream supply-chain data is also what EU buyers increasingly demand even outside formal CSRD obligations.
Most consultants have never stepped on a factory floor. We have.

Scope 3 emissions are all indirect greenhouse gas emissions in a company's value chain — both upstream (purchased goods, logistics, business travel) and downstream (use of sold products, end-of-life treatment). They typically represent 70–90% of a manufacturer's total carbon footprint and are the primary focus of CSRD's ESRS E1 requirements.
Under CSRD/ESRS E1, companies must report all material Scope 3 categories. For manufacturers the most material categories are typically Category 1 (purchased goods and services), Category 4 (upstream transportation), Category 11 (use of sold products), and Category 12 (end-of-life treatment). A double materiality assessment determines which categories require disclosure.
Our standard engagement covers up to 25 suppliers per cycle — the tier-1 suppliers representing the highest spend and risk concentration, plus selected tier-2 suppliers where hotspot analysis identifies material upstream impacts. Additional supplier cycles can be added.
CBAM focuses on Scope 1 direct emissions and Scope 2 electricity emissions for the five covered sectors. Scope 3 is not required for CBAM declarations. However, EU importers increasingly request Scope 3 data as part of their own CSRD value-chain disclosure requirements.
Our Supply Chain & Scope-3 Mapping engagement starts at €6,500, covering a supplier ESG risk heat map, 25 supplier scorecards, tier-1 hotspot remediation roadmap, procurement policy update and a quarterly tracker template. Typical delivery is 8–10 weeks. A free scoping call confirms the fixed-price quote before any commitment.
