Case Study: Coherent achieves audit-ready Scope 3 reporting and improved CDP scores with DitchCarbon

Coherent lifts CDP supplier score from C to A- with DitchCarbon

Coherent, a global leader in photonics, faced the immense challenge of accurately reporting Scope 3 emissions across its 15,000 suppliers. With limited resources and an approaching CDP disclosure deadline, their manual, spreadsheet-based process was inefficient and posed a significant verification risk. They partnered with DitchCarbon to find a scalable solution for this critical reporting.

By implementing DitchCarbon's platform, Coherent automated the management of its Scope 3 emissions data, transforming a burdensome manual workflow into a streamlined process. This partnership enabled Coherent to achieve third-party assurance for its Scope 3 emissions for the first time, with the review process noted as being surprisingly straightforward. As a result, Coherent's CDP supplier score improved from a C to an A-, and the sustainability team was freed from administrative tasks to focus on strategic climate action.
