Work with your significant suppliers to improve their data quality

Work with your significant suppliers to improve their data quality, using the plan you have developed.

As part of this process you should set clear expectations by communicating your data requirements, the timeline you are working to, and reporting formats your suppliers need to follow. You should regularly review the data they provide and collaborate with suppliers to improve on any data quality issues.

By providing simple, clear guidelines on what data is needed, such as emissions or resource use, it will help your suppliers understand your needs. Additionally, it can be helpful to supplier understanding to provide basic templates for data collection and reporting. This will also help your setting standardise information, so it is easier to collect and store in any spreadsheets or software you use.

Accurate data helps you better measure your setting's Scope 3 emissions, which are part of your setting's carbon footprint, and informs sustainable decision making. It ensures alignment with your sustainability goals, enables you to identify opportunities to reduce your carbon and greenhouse gas emissions, and strengthens partnerships with sustainability-minded suppliers.
