OffGridFlow for Procurement

Scope 3 Category 1 is where sourcing decisions meet climate disclosure. OffGridFlow gives procurement teams a supplier emissions system that ties directly into CSRD, SEC, SB 253, and CBAM reporting.

Purchased goods and services is the largest emissions category for most non-financial companies. Procurement owns the relationships, the spend, and now — implicitly — the emissions disclosure risk. OffGridFlow connects supplier data collection to the compliance reporting layer without forcing procurement to become an emissions expert.

What procurement teams do in OffGridFlow

  • Import supplier spend from ERP (SAP connector or CSV)
  • Send supplier emissions data requests with pre-populated templates
  • Track response rates and data quality tier by supplier
  • Progress categories from spend-based to activity-based to supplier-specific
  • Feed Scope 3 totals directly into CSRD, SEC, and SB 253 disclosure drafts
  • Produce CBAM draft declarations for covered EU imports

What procurement does NOT need to do

Learn GHG Protocol methodology. Master emission factor databases. Build a spreadsheet model. Chase suppliers via email. OffGridFlow handles the methodology layer; procurement owns the relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should procurement care about Scope 3?

For most companies, Scope 3 Category 1 (purchased goods and services) is the largest single emissions category. CSRD, SEC Climate, and SB 253 require material Scope 3 disclosure. Procurement owns the supplier relationships that produce this data.

How does OffGridFlow fit into sourcing decisions?

Supplier emissions data is stored alongside other supplier attributes. When sourcing teams evaluate vendors, they can see emission intensity per dollar spent. When setting science-based targets, supplier engagement tracking shows which vendors are delivering reductions.

Can we request data from suppliers at scale?

Yes. Supplier request workflows, CDP-style response imports, and CSV templates let you collect primary data without custom email chains. Each response is tagged with data quality so your Scope 3 disclosure reflects real coverage.

What about CBAM?

Procurement teams importing cement, iron/steel, aluminum, fertilizer, electricity, or hydrogen into the EU need embedded emissions data from non-EU suppliers. OffGridFlow ingests shipment data and applies product-category calculations — actual values from suppliers or EU default values as fallback.
