Frequently asked questions
What is primary data and why does it matter?
Primary data is company- or supplier-specific data, such as the actual emission values of a product or process, as opposed to generic average values from databases. It improves the accuracy of your carbon footprint, makes emission drivers visible and enables targeted decarbonization and supplier management measures.
What role do suppliers' product carbon footprints (PCF) play?
PCFs from the supply chain provide the basis for reliable Scope 3 calculations, because they reflect the actual emissions of purchased products and materials instead of non-specific average values. They are also the basis for CBAM-compliant reporting on imported goods.
How do I calculate Scope 3 emissions if no primary data is available yet?
Without primary data, the calculation is based on generic emission factors and estimates, for example from Ecoinvent or DEFRA. This is less precise but possible in the short term, and it is a sensible starting point while you collect primary data from suppliers in parallel.
How does Tanso identify reduction potential in the supply chain?
Meaningful analyses identify and segment emission drivers across the value chain. On this basis, Tanso provides industry-specific suggestions for quick carbon savings that you can compare directly with your own reduction targets.
How does supplier data flow into other Tanso modules?
Primary data you collect via the supplier portal is available across PCF, CCF, PPWR and CBAM calculations. You collect data once and use it across modules, instead of requesting it again for each calculation purpose. This applies to emissions data as well as packaging data such as material composition and recycled content.
How does Tanso fit into our existing IT landscape?
Reduction uses the same data foundation as the CCF module and requires no additional IT integration. If your CCF module is already connected to SAP, other ERP systems or a data warehouse, reduction scenarios and reporting work with it automatically.
How does Tanso ensure that suppliers actually respond to requests?
Access without registration significantly lowers the barrier to entry for suppliers. Standardized templates make it easier to respond, and transparent tracking shows suppliers which datapoints have already been answered. This avoids duplicate work on their side and increases the response rate.
