For listed companies and global brands
Your suppliers hold 80% of your carbon footprint. And you can't get the data.
37 guidelines across 37 stock exchanges are pushing 15,000 listed companies to disclose their double materiality in 2026. Your auditor wants supplier-level numbers, your investors want a credible trajectory, and most of your suppliers have never measured anything. We map who they really are, score how ready they are, and get them moving — so your report stands on real data instead of sector averages.
The situation
Supplier data is the part that breaks
37 guidelines across 37 stock exchanges bring 15,000 listed companies to disclose their double materiality in 2026. The chain is long, the suppliers are invisible, and the data your auditor needs still lives in spreadsheets.
15,000 listed companies now need supplier-level data
CSRD, CSDDD and national transpositions force large EU companies — and their buying teams — to trace emissions and risk far beyond Tier-1.
Questionnaires multiply faster than answers arrive
Your team is emailing spreadsheets to suppliers who never answer, or buying sector averages your auditor will question. Self-declarations won't survive the next audit cycle.
The risk sits where you are not looking
You know your Tier-1s. Below that, the mills, dye houses and raw material sit in a blind spot — and that is where most of the emissions and most of the risk live.

What we do about it
Map the chain, score the suppliers, move them forward
Four moves, one methodology: see who is there, measure how ready they are, close the gap on the ground, and verify what matters.
See your real chain
Tier-N mapping takes you past your direct suppliers, down to the sub-suppliers your buyers never meet — so you can show a chain, not a vendor list.
See what mapping revealsKnow who is ready
Net Zero Pulse scores every supplier's maturity on the same scale, so you know exactly where to spend your effort and where you are exposed.
See how scoring worksGet them to move
A Strategic Supplier Development Program run in their language, on their site, backed by physical assessment with internationally recognised verification bodies.
See the programVerify the claims that matter
Golden verification on the ground by Bureau Veritas confirms the data points your auditor will actually test, turning promises into audit-ready evidence.
Add golden verificationHow it works
From a vendor list to an auditable trajectory
We map who is really in your chain
Start with your supplier file or procurement system. We reconstruct the chain beyond Tier-1 and show you the sub-suppliers, countries and materials behind each product line.
We score how ready each one is with Net Zero Pulse
Every supplier is assessed on the same maturity scale — measurement, data quality, governance, reduction plan — so you can rank them instead of guessing.
We close the gap with SSDP
The suppliers that matter most get a structured development program: on-site support, cross-stakeholder validation and a concrete action plan.
We verify on site with Bureau Veritas
The most material claims are physically checked by Bureau Veritas on site. You get golden verification, not another self-declaration.

Worth knowing
Four things to take into your next steering committee
Sector averages are accepted today and challenged tomorrow. Every year you delay supplier-level data, the restatement gets more expensive.
Cross-checking a supplier's answers against several people inside that supplier surfaces around three times more inconsistencies than a single contact ever will.
Most suppliers are not resisting — they simply do not know how to start. Given a clear checklist in their own language, completion rates change dramatically.
The companies that can already answer a Digital Product Passport request are winning shelf space from the ones that cannot.
