Data Your Customer Can See
When you approve a customer data request, they can view:
Company profile — legal name, industry sector, number of employees, headquarters and operating locations
Emissions data — total CCF, Scope breakdown, emissions intensity, and year-over-year trend if available
Sustainability commitments — science-based targets, renewable energy use, decarbonisation initiatives, and PCFs if applicable
Benchmark context — how your intensity compares to industry peers
Data That Always Remains Confidential
Your actual annual revenue figure (customers see intensity but not the underlying number)
Your detailed spend breakdown by supplier or category
Your accounting data and internal cost structures
Information about other customers or suppliers
Controlling What You Share
You control what your customer sees by reviewing each request, deciding which sections to approve, setting an optional expiration date, and revoking access at any time.
When Green Project creates industry benchmarks, all company data is anonymised — your customer may see how your intensity compares to an industry average, but other companies' identities are never revealed.
How Will My Client Use My Emissions Data?
When you share your emissions data, your customer uses it to understand their own supply chain emissions and meet their sustainability goals. They may allocate a portion of your emissions to their own corporate footprint in one of three ways.
The most common method is spend-based allocation: your customer calculates what percentage of your total revenue their spend represents, and allocates that same percentage of your total emissions to their footprint. For example, if they represent 20% of your revenue, they attribute 20% of your emissions to their own Scope 3.
Alternatively, if you've calculated a Product Carbon Footprint for items you sell to them, they may use that data multiplied by the number of units purchased. In some cases, they'll work with you to determine an appropriate allocation based on additional data about your specific operations.
If your products are built by subcontractors, your data reflects your company's direct activities — but spending on subcontractor services is included in your spend data, so your customer sees your total footprint including that supply chain portion.
Your customer uses your emissions data to calculate their own Scope 3 emissions, meet reporting requirements (CDP, SBTi, etc.), identify high-emissions suppliers for engagement, and report publicly on their supply chain decarbonisation efforts.
When you reduce your emissions, it helps your customer reduce theirs too — a positive feedback loop across the entire supply chain.
