What the data covers.

Carbon is one of many impacts your supply chain creates. The same suppliers behind your Scope 3 emissions also drive water use, land use, biodiversity loss, air pollution, and labour and health outcomes. Impact factors put numbers to each one, using the same methodology as the carbon data. Twelve dimensions, 308 metrics, same 168 regions.
