Case Study: SNCF achieves more accurate Scope 3 carbon accounting with EcoVadis and Sweep

Driving Scope 3 Reductions at SNCF with EcoVadis & Sweep

SNCF, the national railway company of France, faced the challenge of decarbonizing its vast supply chain of over 39,000 suppliers, which represented a major source of its emissions. To accurately measure its carbon footprint and implement effective reduction strategies, the company turned to the integrated solutions offered by EcoVadis and Sweep. They specifically utilized the EcoVadis Carbon Action Manager to engage and assess suppliers.

By integrating EcoVadis supplier carbon data directly into the Sweep carbon management platform, the solution provided SNCF with enhanced accuracy for its Scope 3 emissions calculations, moving beyond estimates to actual supplier-reported data. This integration streamlined data management, improved supplier engagement by reducing redundant requests, and enabled SNCF to strategically incorporate carbon criteria into procurement decisions. The results included more precise reporting for compliance and a data-driven approach to accelerating its supply chain decarbonization goals.
