Sustainable procurememt is complex
Sustainable procurement depends on managing direct and indirect emissions, but tracking and reporting tail spend is complex and time-consuming. Compliance with carbon accounting under the GHG Protocol and CSRD is also challenging, especially when dealing with unreliable and non-comparable data from suppliers and other sources.

The method behind the data
- We use the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) method, which provides generic emissions data for everything you buy from Unite.
- Your goods are allocated a CO2e intensity factor that covers cradle-to-gate emissions.
- Youʼll also get an accuracy score from 0 to 100 that helps you combine different data sources and evaluate the data quality.
Our approach ensures your CO2 reports are precise and compliant, so you can demonstrate your sustainability efforts and make more informed decisions.
