Executive Summary
Supply chain carbon management and product carbon footprinting are converging as regulators demand granular supplier- and product-level emissions data. This report benchmarks innovation in 14 software providers with Scope 3 and product carbon footprinting capabilities, spanning product compliance, carbon management, supply chain sustainability and lifecycle assessment (LCA) backgrounds. The report examines how vendors support supplier engagement, emissions calculation, data quality and scenario modelling, and highlights emerging innovation in agentic AI, connected product models and carbon data exchange networks. Sustainability, procurement, product and supply chain leaders can use this report to understand the evolving competitive landscape, assess vendor strengths, and select solutions that match their current and future supply chain carbon and product carbon footprinting needs.Summary for decision-makers
