Category 1, purchased goods and services, is usually the largest slice of a company’s Scope 3 footprint and the one a buyer can only cut through its supply chain. That is why suppliers to majors like Shell are now asked for primary carbon data, and why a credible Scope 3 number has quietly become a condition of winning B2B contracts.<\/p>\n
Scope 3 Category 1 is purchased goods and services: the cradle-to-gate emissions embedded in everything a company buys, from steel and chemicals to software and professional services. Under the GHG Protocol it is the first of fifteen Scope 3 categories and, for most buyers, the single largest one. It matters to suppliers because it is the part of a buyer’s footprint that only procurement can reduce, so cutting it means asking suppliers for primary carbon data and reductions. For Shell, Category 1 was about 119 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2024. Increasingly, a supplier’s own emissions data is what decides whether it clears the buyer’s qualification gate.<\/p>\n
Die erste und in der Regel gr\u00f6\u00dfte von f\u00fcnfzehn Kategorien<\/strong><\/p>\n Under the GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard, a company’s indirect value-chain emissions are split into fifteen categories. Category 1, purchased goods and services, captures the upstream, cradle-to-gate emissions from the production of everything the company buys in a reporting year, up to the point of receipt, excluding anything already counted in categories 2 through 8.<\/p>\n In plain terms, it is the carbon embedded in the goods and services on a company’s purchase ledger: the steel, cement, chemicals, equipment, logistics inputs, software and professional services it acquires. For most buyers it is the single largest Scope 3 category, and for manufacturers it alone can account for more than 60 percent of total emissions. That scale is exactly why it is the category procurement teams are told to attack first.<\/p>\n Der einzige Hebel, den ein K\u00e4ufer hat, ist die Beschaffung.<\/strong><\/p>\n Scopes 1 and 2 are the emissions a company controls directly, its own fuel and its purchased electricity. Category 1 is different: the emissions physically happen inside the supplier’s operations, not the buyer’s. A buyer cannot retrofit a supplier’s factory or switch its power contract. The only lever it has is the purchasing relationship, which is why the pressure travels down the chain to the people who can actually change the number.<\/p>\n The GHG Protocol allows four ways to calculate Category 1: supplier-specific, hybrid, average-data and spend-based. Spend-based and average-data methods use industry averages and need nothing from the supplier, but they are blunt and cannot show real reductions. Supplier-specific and hybrid methods require primary data collected from the supplier. As buyers move from spend-based estimates toward supplier-specific data, the request for a real carbon number lands squarely on the vendor’s desk.<\/p>\n Frageb\u00f6gen, Plattformen und ein sich ausweitendes Datenportal<\/strong><\/p>\n K\u00e4ufer beschaffen sich Lieferantendaten zum CO\u2082-Aussto\u00df \u00fcber verschiedene Mechanismen: Verhaltenskodizes und Prinzipien der Lieferanten, die Erwartungen festlegen, Beschaffungsfrageb\u00f6gen und Plattformen wie CDP Supply Chain und EcoVadis sowie \u2013 f\u00fcr die gr\u00f6\u00dften Emittenten \u2013 direkte Dekarbonisierungsfahrpl\u00e4ne. Shell beispielsweise nutzt seine Lieferantenprinzipien und die Einbindung der Lieferkette, um von Lieferanten prim\u00e4re CO\u2082-Daten zu erhalten, Ziele festzulegen und die Leistung zu teilen. Zudem hat Shell mit mehreren seiner gr\u00f6\u00dften Lieferanten, die CO\u2082 aussto\u00dfen, unverbindliche Absichtserkl\u00e4rungen unterzeichnet.<\/p>\n Die Datenlage ist noch nicht vollst\u00e4ndig gekl\u00e4rt. Laut CDP nehmen nur etwa 13 Prozent der Unternehmen klimabezogene Anforderungen in ihre Lieferantenvertr\u00e4ge auf, und weniger als 6 Prozent verlangen von ihren Lieferanten die Offenlegung von Klimadaten. Die Praxis ist also noch lange nicht fl\u00e4chendeckend. Doch die Anforderungen nehmen schnell zu, und es zeigt Wirkung: Lieferanten reduzierten ihre Emissionen mit 52 Prozent h\u00f6herer Wahrscheinlichkeit, wenn K\u00e4ufer finanzielle Anreize statt reiner Schulungen boten. F\u00fcr Lieferanten ist die Botschaft klar: Die Frageb\u00f6gen werden anspruchsvoller, und die Vorbereitung wird zum entscheidenden Wettbewerbsvorteil.<\/p>\n CO2-Daten entwickeln sich zu einer B2B-W\u00e4hrung.<\/strong><\/p>\n Regulation is hardening the ask. Under the EU’s CSRD and the ESRS E1 climate standard, in-scope companies must disclose how much of their Scope 3 is based on primary versus secondary data, which pushes buyers to collect real supplier figures rather than estimates. Science-based targets add to it: a company with an approved SBTi target for Scope 3 typically commits to a share of suppliers setting their own targets, turning a buyer’s climate goal into a procurement requirement.<\/p>\n Das Ergebnis ist, dass die CO\u2082-Bilanz von Lieferanten stillschweigend zu einem wichtigen Wettbewerbskriterium geworden ist, nicht nur eine Randnotiz zur Einhaltung von Vorschriften. Wenn gro\u00dfe Unternehmen Anbieter bewerten und in die engere Wahl nehmen, wird ein glaubw\u00fcrdiger, prim\u00e4rer Scope-3-Wert zunehmend neben Preis, Qualit\u00e4t und Liefertreue als entscheidendes Auswahlkriterium herangezogen. Lieferanten, die die CO\u2082-Frage beantworten k\u00f6nnen, behalten ihren Platz auf der Ausschreibungsliste; diejenigen, die dies nicht k\u00f6nnen, werden am schnellsten aussortiert. CO\u2082-Daten entwickeln sich somit zu einer Art W\u00e4hrung im B2B-Bereich.<\/p>\n Machen Sie aus der Kohlenstofffrage einen kommerziellen Vorteil<\/strong><\/p>\n Die defensive Strategie besteht darin, vorbereitet zu sein: eine nachvollziehbare Zahl f\u00fcr Scope 1 und 2 vorweisen, mit der eigenen Kategorie 1 beginnen und einen CDP- oder EcoVadis-Fragebogen problemlos ausf\u00fcllen k\u00f6nnen. Die Methoden sind weniger wichtig als eine glaubw\u00fcrdige, dokumentierte Zahl und eine klare Zielsetzung; K\u00e4ufer suchen Kompetenz und Dynamik, nicht Perfektion.<\/p>\n The offensive move is to make it a selling point. A supplier that can hand a buyer clean primary data, a reduction trajectory and a clear story removes friction from the buyer’s own reporting and makes itself the low-risk choice. That is the Project 54 view: for energy and industrial vendors, carbon data is no longer a cost of compliance but a piece of commercial positioning, and the suppliers who treat it that way win the contracts that data-blind competitors lose.<\/p>\n Das Treibhausgasprotokoll unterteilt Scope 3 in f\u00fcnfzehn Kategorien, acht vorgelagerte und sieben nachgelagerte. Kategorie 1 umfasst gekaufte Waren und Dienstleistungen; weitere Kategorien sind Investitionsg\u00fcter (2), Brennstoff- und Energieaktivit\u00e4ten (3), Transport, Abfall, Gesch\u00e4ftsreisen, Pendelverkehr, Nutzung verkaufter Produkte und Entsorgung. Kategorie 1 ist in der Regel die gr\u00f6\u00dfte Kategorie f\u00fcr K\u00e4ufer.<\/p>\n Yes. Category 1 is the GHG Protocol’s label for purchased goods and services: the upstream, cradle-to-gate emissions embedded in everything a company buys, up to the point of receipt.<\/p>\n Kategorie 1 umfasst im Berichtsjahr verbrauchte Waren und Dienstleistungen, w\u00e4hrend Kategorie 2 Investitionsg\u00fcter, also langlebige Verm\u00f6genswerte wie Maschinen, Geb\u00e4ude und Fahrzeuge, die ein Unternehmen erwirbt, umfasst.
