Five steps to success

Supplier engagement is central to any credible Scope 3 strategy. With supply chains responsible for around 75% of corporate emissions, companies need partners who can provide reliable, consistent data.

Yet most firms still struggle to measure their impact. A new MIT report finds that while 85% of companies are maintaining or expanding sustainability efforts, 70% lack supplier data to calculate Scope 3 emissions accurately – and many still rely on spreadsheets instead of modern analytics.

This gap makes engagement slow, fragmented, and resource-intensive. Sweep helps leading organisations close it, using agentic AI to make supplier collaboration more efficient, inclusive, and impactful.

The most forward-looking companies prioritise, meet suppliers where they are, and pivot from reporting to partnership. The rest are left chasing fragmented spreadsheets and patchy participation.
