Manage all your Scope 3 emissions data in one system

SustainCERT has expanded its Carbon Management Platform to support a broader range of Scope 3 emissions data across the value chain.

Companies can now bring verified and unverified emissions data into one single governed system, including data from SustainCERT verification, third-party verification, internal sources and external registries.

Most organizations today manage carbon data across spreadsheets, suppliers, registries, and disconnected internal systems. Different data sources often follow different levels of verification and governance, creating operational complexity, and increasing the risk of inconsistent claims.

The SustainCERT Carbon Management Platform provides a centralized way to govern Scope 3 emissions data, collaborate across value chains, and generate reporting-ready inventory data.

With the updated Platform, companies can:

• Manage verified and unverified emissions data in one place
• Integrate multiple carbon data sources across the value chain
• Govern claims and data-sharing workflows with partners
• Improve readiness for evolving reporting requirements

Nothing changes for SustainCERT-verified data, which continues to follow the same validation, verification, and attribution processes.

What this means for existing clients

The updated Platform expands the types of Scope 3 emissions data companies can manage, while maintaining the same validation, verification, and attribution processes for SustainCERT-verified data.

Organizations can now bring together:

• SustainCERT-verified data
• Third-party verified data
• Internal, unverified data
• Data from external registries and projects

This gives companies greater flexibility in how they structure, govern, and report emissions data across their value chains.

Key benefits include:

• One centralized system for multiple carbon data sources
• Greater flexibility in verification and data management approaches
• Improved readiness for evolving reporting and disclosure requirements
• More consistent governance of claims and reporting workflows

What is the Carbon Management Platform?

Most companies manage Scope 3 emissions data across fragmented systems and processes. Data often sits across spreadsheets, supplier reports, registries, and internal tools, making it difficult to maintain consistency, govern claims, and prepare reporting outputs efficiently.

The SustainCERT Carbon Management Platform provides a central place to manage Scope 3 emissions data across the value chain. The Platform enables organizations to:

• Govern claims across value chains
• Collaborate and share data with partners
• Consolidate data from multiple sources
• Generate reporting-ready inventory data without relying on fragmented spreadsheets

By bringing verified and unverified data into one system, organizations gain greater visibility and control over their Scope 3 emissions management workflows.

Unitized impact to demonstrate your decarbonization efforts

On the Carbon Management Platform, Scope 3 emissions data can be structured in a consistent format linked to goods volumes, supply sheds, commodities, operations, and verification status. This can be in the form of Impact Units or Emission Factor Units.

The Platform translates verified results of value chain interventions into standardized, auditable outcomes in the form of Impact Units. These can be reported, allocated, and shared across value chains. Impact Units contain reductions or removals data alongside emission factor data, while Emission Factor Units contain emission factor data only.

With this unitized impact, you can:

• Link emissions data to impacted goods
• Track verification status per unit
• Manage reductions, removals, and emission factors
• Create a consistent structure across suppliers and projects

Who can use the Carbon Management Platform?

Corporates

Consolidate Scope 3 emissions data from multiple sources, govern claims across value chains, and generate reporting-ready inventory data in one centralized system.

Standardized information help organizations manage complex supplier and partner ecosystems while improving confidence in claims and reporting processes.

Membership organizations

Manage emissions data across members while supporting buyer claims and reporting workflows through standardized data-sharing processes.

Organizations can support claims management on behalf of members or enable buyers to manage claims directly within the Platform.

Project developers

Manage verified and unverified project data in one system and support claims management across buyers and downstream partners.

The Platform allows developers to manage projects at different stages of maturity within a centralized system instead of maintaining separate workflows for verified and unverified interventions.
