Much of the ESG impact that a business is responsible for sits within its supply chain. For example, supply chain emissions typically make up 40-80% of an organisation’s total carbon emissions – often reaching over 90% – but quantifying this to achieve visibility is often challenging.
Efficio's CarbonCube® is a tool for sustainability and procurement teams to quickly and effectively calculate supply chain emissions, set targets, and monitor supplier performance.
The CarbonCube® calculates emissions from Categories 1, 2, 4, and 6 of Scope 3

The CarbonCube® at a glance
The CarbonCube® uses procurement spend data to calculate carbon emissions. Spend data is categorised, and emissions factors are matched to the categorised spend to calculate emissions. This data can then be enhanced over time with supplier-specific data as it becomes available.
This approach simplifies carbon emissions baselining, target setting, and measurement.

"At Kantar, we focus on actionable data insight, and Efficio’s CarbonCube® has been an incredibly powerful addition to our sustainability capabilities. It lets us calculate our Scope 3 emissions, identify emissions hotspots, and engage suppliers. It has also helped us report our environmental performance through CDP."

"Efficio’s CarbonCube® enabled us to set a strong and realistic emission baseline from which to prepare carbon reduction initiatives, supporting the Bank’s strategic agenda for its 2024 SBTi submission and fostering a culture of sustainability and environmental awareness throughout our value chain – from our employees through to our supply base."

"The CarbonCube® has taken us from having limited visibility over our total emissions to understanding our highest emission areas, allowing us to prioritise categories for reductions. Ofwat, our regulatory body, requested the Scope 3 emissions associated with wastewater and clean water services this year, and the CarbonCube® enables us to pull that data very quickly and easily."
