Carbon Action Manager

Engage Suppliers
and Decarbonize at Scale

EcoVadis 2024 V1.0

The Challenge of Scope 3 Decarbonization
In the face of the climate crisis, companies worldwide are setting ambitious carbon reduction
targets. Yet, a major roadblock remains: the lack of primary data for a reliable baseline.
Shockingly, just 14% have reached their targets due to incomprehensive measurement, driven
by limited engagement and low carbon maturity among partners. With pressure mounting
from investors, customers, and regulations, decarbonization is a pressing priority. It’s time for
collaborative action among value chain partners to make real strides toward meeting those
targets.

The Solution
The Carbon Action Manager is a supplier engagement solution for GHG management. With
CAM, you can quickly understand your suppliers’ carbon emissions risk and performance,
and engage with them at scale based on their maturity level. You get access to tools to build
their capability and maturity, and drive tangible improvements to meet your climate action
commitments.

A Journey of Improvement
Most suppliers are still in the early stages of their decarbonization journey. These companies need
an effective system in place to measure, manage, and report on emissions before they can reduce
them, but many lack the resources or capability to get started. CAM addresses these critical
gaps by helping buyers meet suppliers wherever they are, and help them embark on a journey
of improvement to accelerate decarbonization progress for both buyers and suppliers.
