Sustainability Services Built Around Your Goals

If you sell to large manufacturers, retailers, distributors, or publicly traded companies — especially those with operations in Europe or California — your carbon footprint may soon be their compliance obligation. New regulations are pushing emissions accounting deep into supply chains, and suppliers of all sizes are increasingly expected to provide verified carbon data as a condition of doing business.

EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) The CSRD requires large companies operating in the European Union to report their Scope 3 emissions — which include the emissions generated by their entire supply chain. Companies subject to CSRD are now cascading data requests down to their suppliers, often regardless of the supplier's size or location. If your customer has European operations, investors, or subsidiaries, you may already be in scope.

California SB 253 — Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act Starting in 2026, California requires companies with $1 billion or more in annual revenue doing business in the state to disclose their Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Because Scope 3 includes supplier emissions, mid-sized and even small regional companies that sell to California-regulated businesses will face carbon data requests — often with little notice and tight timelines.

California SB 261 — Climate-Related Financial Risk SB 261 requires large companies doing business in California to disclose climate-related financial risks. While this rule focuses primarily on larger entities, it further signals that supply chain carbon visibility is becoming a baseline expectation for business relationships.

Voluntary & Customer-Driven Requirements Beyond formal regulation, many of the world's largest companies — from automotive OEMs to major retailers — have set Scope 3 reduction targets and are actively requiring suppliers to measure and reduce their emissions as part of vendor qualification and contract renewal processes.

 Footprint Plus provides a practical, right-sized carbon footprinting package for small and mid-sized businesses responding to supply chain disclosure requests or getting ahead of regulatory requirements:

• Scope 1 & 2 Carbon Inventory — A complete, methodology-aligned emissions baseline for your facilities, fleet, and operations
• Scope 3 Screening — Identification and estimation of the most material upstream and downstream emission categories relevant to your business
• Supplier Data Package — A structured data output in the format your customer is requesting, ready to submit to their procurement or sustainability team
• Written Summary — A plain-language explanation of your footprint, methodology, and data sources suitable for customer review or internal use
• Optional: Decarbonization Glidepath — A prioritized reduction roadmap if your customer — or your own leadership — is asking for more than just your current emissions number

 Carbon accounting frameworks were designed for large-company resources. Most SMBs don't have a sustainability team, a data management platform, or months to spend on an inventory process. Footprint Plus works directly with your available data — utility bills, fuel purchase records, fleet logs — and does the technical heavy lifting so your team isn't buried in spreadsheets and emission factor tables.

Our deliverables are designed to be customer-ready from day one: clear, credible, and built on recognized GHG Protocol methodology that large companies and their auditors will accept.

• A major customer has sent you a sustainability or carbon disclosure questionnaire
• You've been asked to complete an EcoVadis, CDP Supply Chain, or similar supplier sustainability assessment
• A customer has mentioned Scope 3, supply chain emissions, or sustainability requirements in a contract renewal conversation
• Your largest customers have publicly committed to net-zero emissions or Science Based Targets

Regional manufacturers, distributors, professional services firms, and other SMBs that supply goods or services to large companies subject to CSRD, California climate disclosure rules, other regulatory frameworks or voluntary Scope 3 reporting commitments.
