Built for Manufacturing Companies
Scope 3 Emissions Reporting Designed for Manufacturers
Your EU customer needs your factory-level emissions data for their CSRD report. Our platform covers energy, raw materials, freight, and waste — the exact categories that matter for manufacturing Scope 3 calculations.
Why Manufacturers Struggle With Scope 3 Reporting
Manufacturing operations are complex. Traditional approaches fail because they weren't built for factory-floor realities.
Complex Input Streams
Multiple energy sources, dozens of raw materials, varied transport modes. Spreadsheet-based approaches collapse under this complexity.
Data Scattered Across Systems
Energy data in utility bills, materials in ERP, freight in logistics platforms. Our wizard asks for exactly what's needed — nothing more.
No In-House Sustainability Team
Most mid-size manufacturers don't have a dedicated sustainability team. Our platform requires zero sustainability expertise.
Urgent Customer Deadlines
EU customers need this data now for CSRD compliance. Consultants take months. We deliver in under 2 hours.
Manufacturing Data Categories We Cover
Our guided wizard covers all major emission sources for manufacturing operations.

Manufacturing Scope 3 Reporting FAQ
What manufacturing data do I need to provide?
You'll need energy consumption (electricity, gas, fuel), raw material purchases (metals, plastics, chemicals by weight), outbound freight (modes, distances, weights), and waste volumes by disposal method. Our guided wizard prompts you for each category.
Which emission factors are used for manufacturing inputs?
We use DEFRA 2025 emission factors for energy, materials, transport, and waste — the same factors used by sustainability consultants. For specific industrial materials, we also reference US EPA and GHG Protocol datasets.
Can I report on multiple facilities or product lines?
Each statement covers one facility or organisational unit. If you have multiple facilities, you can create separate statements for each. This gives your EU customer clear line-of-sight into each supply chain node.
What if I don't have exact data for all categories?
The wizard accepts the data you have. If you use electricity but don't ship products (e.g., your customer arranges freight), simply leave transport empty. The statement will note which categories had zero or no data.
How does this compare to hiring a sustainability consultant?
Consultants charge $5,000–$50,000 and take 4–12 weeks for manufacturing assessments. SupplierDataStatement.com costs $2,500 and delivers in under 2 hours. Both use the same emission factors — we just remove the manual overhead.
