ERM, the world’s largest sustainability consultancy, has partnered with carbon management solutions provider Carbmee to help manufacturing clients deliver measurable emissions reductions across complex value chains.

Despite growing regulatory, customer and investor pressures to accurately measure and drive down Scope 3 emissions, many companies still rely on estimates based on spend and industry averages. This limits their ability to move beyond reporting to use Scope 3 data to drive decarbonization actions that reduce costs, manage supply‑chain risk, and improve sourcing and investment decisions.

Reducing emissions across the value chain 

Carbmee’s AI-powered platform collects supplier-specific, product- and site-level emissions data at scale to identify Scope 3 hotspots. Its analytics and scenario modelling capabilities help companies assess the impact of supplier switching and decarbonization strategies on emissions and performance.

Building on these insights, ERM designs and delivers targeted supplier engagement and decarbonization programs that enhance commercial outcomes – from the redesign of emissions‑intensive materials and supply chains to renewable electricity procurement and power purchase agreements (PPAs). ERM also ensures that data, methodologies and reduction pathways are aligned with leading standards and regulatory frameworks, including the GHG Protocol, SBTi and IFRS‑aligned disclosure requirements.

Together, ERM and Carbmee provide an end‑to‑end solution that enables companies to move from insight to implementation, combining supplier‑level emissions visibility with targeted decarbonization programs that drive action and better commercial outcomes across global value chains.

Olaf Schatteman, Global Service Leader, Sustainable Products & Supply Chain at ERM said: “Companies that master Scope 3 will not just report lower emissions or meet their stated targets, they will build lower-cost, more resilient, and more competitive businesses.”

“Working with Carbmee as part of our ecosystem of partners, we are looking forward to helping more clients use credible, auditable Scope 3 data to drive targeted decarbonization action and enhanced business performance.”

Dieter Krockauer, Senior Vice President at Carbmee said: “Together, Carbmee’s AI-powered environmental intelligence system combined with ERM’s deep expertise on both decarbonization strategy and implementation helps companies deliver measurable CO2e reductions, lower costs, and build more resilient supply chains.”
