Case Study: Murata Electronics Europe B.V. achieves accurate Scope 3 transport emissions reporting with BigMile

Murata Electronics Europe B.V. cuts Scope 3 reporting complexity with BigMile for 76% of global GHG footprint

Murata Electronics Europe B.V., a part of global electronics leader Murata Manufacturing, faced a significant challenge in gathering accurate Scope 3 transport emissions data from its extensive network of third-party carriers. Many carriers did not track or report their CO₂e emissions, and available data was often inconsistent in methodology and format, creating a large administrative burden. To address this, the company turned to BigMile for its carbon accounting software.

By implementing BigMile, Murata was able to centralize its emissions data and apply a consistent, ISO 14083-aligned methodology to calculate emissions for every shipment across all transport modes. This provided a single source of truth for its transport emissions, which account for 7% of its parent company's global GHG footprint. The solution from BigMile resulted in more accurate Scope 3 reporting, reduced manual labor, and enabled data-backed conversations with carriers to identify reduction opportunities and prepare for upcoming regulations like CountEmissionsEU.
