Supporting organisations to better understand and reduce their Scope 3 emissions is a key part of our work at BayNel.
The challenge:
A mid-sized construction company wanted to better understand the emissions within their Scope 3 supply chain and establish a clear baseline to support future reduction targets. With limited visibility of emissions across procurement categories, they needed a robust methodology to analyse spend data, identify the biggest emission hotspots, and inform a more strategic procurement approach.
What we did:
- Analysed procurement spend data to develop a Scope 3 Cat 1 purchased goods and services (PGS) emissions baseline
- Worked closely with key internal stakeholders to validate assumptions and ensure the analysis reflected procurement realities.
- Identified key emissions hotspots across sectors, suppliers, materials and overhead spend.
- Developed practical recommendations to improve data quality, strengthen supply chain engagement and encourage innovation.
- Proposed a 3-year roadmap that could support improve data quality and emission reductions across the supply chain.
- Set improvement targets to help guide future procurement and decarbonisation efforts.
The outcome
✔ A clear Scope 3 PGS emissions baseline to inform future reporting and reduction planning
✔ Improved understanding of emissions hotspots across suppliers, sectors, materials and overhead spend
✔ Actionable recommendations to strengthen procurement practices and supply chain engagement
✔ Insight that is helping shape a more informed and strategic procurement approach
A really valuable piece of work unlocking practical insights for supply chain decarbonisation.
If Scope 3 is a focus area for your organisation, we’d be happy to share more about our approach.
