Net Zero Pulse
Take the climate pulse of your entire supplier ecosystem
As an EU/US listed company or global brand entering CSRD/CSDDD scope, you need supplier-level data your auditor will actually accept. Net Zero Pulse is a fast, scalable climate maturity screening that gives you Tier-N visibility and a maturity score for every supplier — before you spend a single day on a deep audit.
The blind spot
A German automotive case study
A leading German Tier-1 automotive supplier has unequivocal commitments: −45% emissions by 2030 and Net Zero by 2042. Beneath the surface of the sustainability report, a different reality appears.
2,500
Tier-1 suppliers worldwide
50
suppliers with an SBTi commitment
8%
of supply-chain emissions covered
92%
of emissions with no visible strategy
They are navigating the most critical transition of our era while driving with a frosted windshield. You cannot manage what you cannot see.
2,450 suppliers — and 92% of the footprint — sit outside any measurable climate strategy.
The solution
You cannot audit 2,500 suppliers at once
Net Zero Pulse is our entry-level, rapid climate maturity screening, built to produce supplier-level evidence your auditor accepts under CSRD/CSDDD. Instead of waiting months for complex audits, you get an immediate maturity score and Tier-N visibility across your supply chain — supplier by supplier, in blocks of 50, at the scale your reporting obligations demand.

What Net Zero Pulse verifies
GHG report
Has the supplier completed a greenhouse gas inventory — and when was it last updated?
Scope mapping
Do they track Scope 1, Scope 2 and, crucially, Scope 3 — or only their direct emissions?
Scope 3 granularity
Do they track categories 3.1 (purchased goods & services), 3.11 (use of sold products) and 3.12 (end-of-life treatment)?
Commitments
Have they set formal near-term and long-term targets, and are those targets externally validated?
The results
Taking the pulse of 500 suppliers
To close the gap, the OEM ran a Net Zero Pulse campaign on 500 strategic suppliers — 50% of its total carbon footprint — beyond the 50 already SBTi-committed.
No GHG report
The risk zone. Completely unprepared suppliers. They require immediate onboarding to basic carbon accounting.
Scope 1 & 2 only
The beginners. They understand their direct impact but ignore their value chain. They need guidance to expand their boundary.
Detailed Scope 3 (3.1, 3.11, 3.12)
The advanced. They understand product lifecycle emissions and are prime candidates for deep decarbonisation partnerships.
Near-term target set
The committed. Suppliers with actionable short-term goals already in place.
Long-term target set
The leaders. Only 4 out of 500 have a long-term Net Zero roadmap.
From blind spot to roadmap
A precise, segmented action plan
With Net Zero Pulse, the OEM turned a massive blind spot into a targeted engagement plan — and knew exactly where to spend its supplier development budget.
342 suppliers
Basic capacity building: carbon accounting fundamentals and first inventory.
94 suppliers
Advanced collaborative engineering on product lifecycle and Scope 3 hotspots.
4 suppliers
Champions: reference cases and peer-to-peer mentoring inside the ecosystem.
Net Zero Pulse doesn't just measure emissions — it measures readiness, at a scale your CSRD/CSDDD reporting obligations require. It is the critical first step before launching a deeper Strategic Supplier Development Program.
