Case Study: Coupa Strengthens ESG Reporting and Climate Action with Watershed

How Coupa uses Watershed to power its climate program

Coupa, a technology company with 3,000+ employees, needed a better way to launch and manage its ESG and climate program as customer, investor, and employee expectations increased. Its team was struggling with time-consuming spreadsheets and an external consultant that could only cover limited emissions data, leaving Coupa without a holistic view of its scope 1, 2, and especially scope 3 emissions. Coupa turned to Watershed and its platform to help measure, track, and report climate data more effectively.

With Watershed, Coupa consolidated climate inventories and reporting in one platform, using tools like the facilities platform, supplier portal, estimation tool, and CDP reporting features. The result was comprehensive emissions coverage, faster reporting, stronger cross-functional buy-in, and better support for customer and investor requests. Watershed also helped Coupa validate its targets with SBTi in July 2024, including net zero emissions by FY2041, while enabling more accurate, actionable scope 3 insights to support decarbonization efforts.
