ERM and Carbmee have partnered to help manufacturing companies improve Scope 3 emissions management by combining AI-driven carbon intelligence with supply chain decarbonisation expertise.
The partnership is aimed at helping manufacturers move beyond emissions reporting toward measurable decarbonisation action across complex global value chains.
Carbmee’s AI-powered platform is designed to collect supplier-specific, product-level, and site-level emissions data at scale, enabling manufacturers to gain more granular visibility into Scope 3 emissions across their supply chains.
The platform also includes analytics and scenario modelling capabilities that allow companies to evaluate the impact of supplier switching and different decarbonisation strategies on emissions and operational performance.
The approach is intended to help manufacturers shift from static reporting toward more actionable carbon management strategies tied directly to procurement, sourcing, and operational decisions.
Under the partnership, ERM will use the emissions insights generated through Carbmee’s platform to support supplier engagement and decarbonisation programmes for manufacturing clients.
These programmes include:
ERM will help ensure emissions data, methodologies, and reduction pathways align with major reporting and disclosure frameworks, including the GHG Protocol, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and IFRS-aligned disclosure requirements.
The partnership comes as manufacturers face increasing regulatory, investor, and customer pressure to improve transparency around Scope 3 emissions, which often represent the largest share of a company’s carbon footprint.
Supply chain emissions data is becoming increasingly important not only for sustainability reporting but also for broader operational resilience, procurement strategy, and risk management.
“Companies that master Scope 3 will not just report lower emissions or meet their stated targets, they will build lower-cost, more resilient, and more competitive businesses,” said Olaf Schatteman, Global Service Leader, Sustainable Products & Supply Chain at ERM.
“Working with Carbmee as part of our ecosystem of partners, we are looking forward to helping more clients use credible, auditable Scope 3 data to drive targeted decarbonisation action and enhanced business performance.”
The collaboration reflects growing adoption of AI-enabled sustainability platforms across manufacturing and industrial sectors as companies seek more accurate emissions data and faster decarbonisation pathways.
Dieter Krockauer, Senior Vice President at Carbmee, said the partnership is designed to help companies connect emissions visibility with measurable operational improvements.
“Together, Carbmee’s AI-powered environmental intelligence system combined with ERM’s deep expertise on both decarbonisation strategy and implementation helps companies deliver measurable CO2e reductions, lower costs, and build more resilient supply chains.”
The companies said the combined offering is intended to provide manufacturers with an end-to-end solution spanning emissions data collection, analysis, supplier engagement, and implementation of decarbonisation programmes across global operations.
