RedGirraffe ESG Horizon is the world’s first software as a service solution designed to enable enterprise resource planning to address detailed last-mile supply chain mapping of the complexities of Scope 3 emissions.

Scope 3 emissions are the most difficult to calculate component of an organisation’s carbon footprint but they account for the majority of its carbon footprint and so are critical to circular economy strategies. By mapping emissions across the lifecycle of products and services, from raw material extraction to disposal, RedGirraffe ESG Horizon enables businesses, regulators and investors to identify opportunities for resource efficiency, waste reduction and sustainable sourcing.

The platform is geared to the needs of:

• Governments and policy makers: it provides a comprehensive view of national and regional supply chains, helping governments identify industries or sectors where circularity interventions are most needed;
• Financial regulators: it provides regulators with actionable insights into the environmental impact of financial activities;
• Asset managers and sovereign funds: its Scope 3 analytics allow asset managers to evaluate the environmental impact of portfolio companies, identify risks and align investments with circular economy goals;
• ESG funds and banks: the platform provides them with metrics for sustainability-linked finance;
• Businesses: it enables large companies to map their entire value chains, identifying inefficiencies and opportunities for circularity. For example, a manufacturing firm can use it to track the lifecycle emissions of its products, optimise resource use and design take-back or recycling programmes.
