Understand and manage Scope 3 in your assortment
In grocery retail, most emissions originate in purchased products (Scope 3.1). Global Changer structures product and supplier data with AI and makes Scope 3 emissions across your entire assortment (food and non-food) analyzable. So you can manage your SBTi targets with precision.

Challenges
When Scope 3 comes down to thousands of SKUs
More and more retailers are setting SBTi-aligned climate targets. To achieve them, thousands of SKUs, suppliers, and private labels need to be consolidated for Scope 3 analysis. Operationally, this quickly becomes a data problem.
Scope 3 across thousands of products
Emissions in retail arise primarily in purchased products. For the carbon footprint, data across thousands of SKUs, suppliers, and product categories needs to be consolidated.
Inconsistent supplier data
Suppliers deliver emissions data in different formats, levels of detail, or not at all. Without structured allocation, inconsistencies creep into the Scope 3 footprint.
Endless Excel spreadsheets
Many carbon footprints are still built on templates, manual calculations, and individual workarounds. This costs time and nerves, increases error rates, and makes auditable results harder to achieve.

How Scope 3 data becomes manageable in grocery retail
Global Changer structures supplier data and calculates PCFs with AI across large product portfolios. This turns emissions data into a foundation for assortment management, reporting, and SBTi climate targets.
1
Continuously improve Scope 3 data quality
Purchased products are spread across thousands of SKUs and suppliers. Global Changer uses AI to identify materials, assign Scope 3 categories, and consistently match appropriate emission factors from databases like ecoinvent. The result: structured Scope 3 data instead of manual Excel consolidation.

Integrate supplier data automatically
Suppliers deliver emissions data in different formats and levels of detail. Global Changer structures this data automatically and fills gaps using emission factor databases like ecoinvent or AGRIBALYSE. Planned: Suppliers will be able to provide emissions data directly and in a standardized format through Global Changer.
