Carbon disclosure clause in a procurement

Public or private tender

Tenders ask for totals with a method and, often, a plan. The ledger answers the totals and the method from records; the plan is yours.

What they ask for: Scope 1 and 2 with method, sometimes Scope 3, evidence on request.

What the ledger answers

2 of 4, one disclosed, one outside scope. Every line below is either produced from your own records, produced with a method we disclose, or absent and stated as absent.

Answer from the ledger, attach the versioned report, and the buyer can recompute any line.

Answer it once, reuse it

The point of a ledger rather than a spreadsheet is that this request and the next one come out of the same records. Answering a customer questionnaire is most of the work of answering an EcoVadis assessment, a bank annex and a tender clause, because the figures, the method and the evidence are already assembled and already traceable.
