Estimates, consultant or platform
What changes when Scope 3 stops being spend-based only.
| With estimates and consultants | With Dcycle | |
|---|---|---|
| Category coverage | Only the easiest 5-7 | All 15 categories |
| Supplier data | Excel by email, one by one | Automated engagement portal |
| Primary vs estimated | All estimated by spend | Primary when it exists, estimated with quality flag |
| Emission factors | Generic, often outdated | DEFRA, ecoinvent, ADEME, EPA always up to date |
| Facing an auditor | Methodology questioned | Every data point with evidence and documented methodology |
| Reduction levers | Hard to identify | Ranking by category and by supplier |
| Multi-framework | You redo it for SBTi, CDP, CSRD | Same data feeds all of them |
Everything you need to automate Scope 3
From the 15 GHG Protocol categories to supplier engagement. No intermediate spreadsheets, no redoing the work each year.
All 15 upstream and downstream categories
Purchased goods, capital, energy, transport, waste, travel, commuting, leased assets, distribution, processing, use, EOL, franchises and investments. Everything under one data model.
Automated supplier engagement
Send campaigns with a personalized link to your suppliers. They upload their primary data in a simple form. You see who has responded and what’s missing, no chasing required.
AI on purchasing, travel and logistics
AI classifies each purchase line by Scope 3 category and applies the right emission factor. No manual dictionaries, no mapping errors.
Primary when it exists, estimated when it doesn’t
If a supplier doesn’t respond, the platform applies the verified sector factor with a clear data quality flag. Your auditor always knows what’s primary and what’s an estimate.
Reduction levers by category
Emissions rankings by category and by supplier. Reduction scenarios with SBTi-aligned targets and year-on-year simulation against your baseline.
Multi-framework: GHG Protocol, CSRD, SBTi, CDP
The same Scope 3 data feeds every report. Switch framework and the system regenerates with the mappings and conversions each one requires.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get primary data if my suppliers don’t have it?
Dcycle sends collection campaigns with a personalized link and a simple form. When a supplier can’t provide primary data, the AI applies the most appropriate sector factor with a clear data-quality flag. Year over year, the share of primary data grows as more suppliers join the portal.
How long does it take to calculate all 15 categories with Dcycle?
1 to 2 weeks for your first full Scope 3 close with real data. It depends on the volume of sources you connect (ERP, procurement, fleet, travel), not on the size of your company. No 6-month consulting projects.
Which categories are most material to my sector?
It depends. Manufacturing typically sees Category 1 (Purchased goods and services) and 11 (Use of sold products) dominate. Retail focuses on 1, 4 (Upstream transport) and 12 (EOL). In financials, Category 15 (Investments) alone outweighs everything else. Dcycle detects your sector’s material categories and prioritizes where to focus.
How do auditors distinguish primary data from estimates?
Every data point in Dcycle carries a data-quality flag (primary, secondary, estimated) and keeps its origin: source document, factor applied (with version and date), and validator. The auditor can drill down from any cell to the original evidence in one click and see the primary-vs-estimated split by category.
Does it work for both SBTi and CSRD at the same time?
Yes. The same Scope 3 data feeds SBTi (aligned targets and 1.5°C trajectories), CDP (questionnaire response), GHG Protocol (Corporate and Scope 3 Standard) and CSRD/ESRS E1 (climate disclosures). Switch framework and the system regenerates the report with the mappings and conversions each one requires.
What if my Procurement team isn’t on board with the project?
You don’t need them to start. Dcycle connects directly to your ERP or accounting system and classifies purchases automatically by Scope 3 category. Procurement only steps in when you want to request primary data from specific suppliers, and the portal handles that without adding internal work for them.
Can I import historical data from previous years?
Yes. Dcycle loads your historical spreadsheets, the AI classifies each line by category and assigns the right factor, and they become an auditable baseline. You don’t lose years of work, and from there collection is automatic.
