Carbon reporting is rapidly becoming a business requirement across supply chains. Hiring clients are facing increasing pressure to understand and report on emissions beyond their own operations, while suppliers are being asked to provide carbon data more frequently and in more detail than ever before.
Yet despite growing demand, the process remains challenging for everyone involved. Many suppliers are unsure where to start, while hiring clients often struggle to collect consistent, reliable data from a diverse supplier base. The result is duplication, frustration and limited visibility into one of the most important areas of sustainability reporting: Scope 3 emissions.
It was this growing challenge that brought SafeContractor and Planet Mark together to create SafePlanet.
For years, SafeContractor has helped organisations manage risk and compliance across their supply chains. Through its extensive network of clients and suppliers, SafeContractor has seen first-hand how sustainability requirements are becoming an increasingly important part of supplier assessment and procurement processes.
At the same time, Planet Mark has been helping businesses measure, reduce and communicate their carbon impact since 2013. Working with organisations of all sizes, Planet Mark understands both the technical requirements of carbon measurement and the practical challenges businesses face when trying to meet them.
Both organisations recognised the same issue: Hiring clients need better visibility of supply chain emissions, but many suppliers need support to measure and report their carbon data confidently and consistently.
The challenge was not simply collecting more data. It was creating a practical, scalable and credible way for clients and suppliers to work together. SafePlanet brings together the strengths of both organisations to solve this challenge.
Many organisations are looking for better supply chain carbon data. However, technology alone rarely solves the problem.
Suppliers often face multiple requests from different clients, varying reporting requirements and limited internal resources. Without support, participation can be low and data quality inconsistent.
SafePlanet takes a different approach. Rather than simply providing a platform, SafePlanet manages the reporting process with suppliers. Businesses receive guidance, support and expert validation throughout the journey, helping them provide credible carbon information in a consistent format.
For hiring clients, this creates a clearer and more reliable view of emissions across their supplier base. For suppliers, it removes much of the complexity associated with carbon reporting and enables them to share information more efficiently across multiple clients. The result is stronger engagement, better-quality data and greater confidence in Scope 3 reporting.
The expectation for businesses to understand their wider environmental impact is only increasing. Customers, investors, regulators and procurement teams are all demanding greater transparency, particularly when it comes to supply chain emissions.
For many organisations, Scope 3 emissions represent the largest proportion of their overall carbon footprint. Yet they are often the hardest to measure. SafePlanet was created to help bridge that gap.
By combining SafeContractor’s expertise in supplier engagement and compliance with Planet Mark’s leadership in carbon measurement and sustainability, SafePlanet provides a practical route to better supply chain carbon reporting.
Perhaps most importantly, SafePlanet recognises that successful carbon reporting depends on both sides of the supply chain.
Clients need credible, consistent data to inform reporting and decision-making. Suppliers need practical support and a clear process that helps them respond to growing requirements without unnecessary complexity.
SafePlanet was designed with both audiences in mind. The partnership between SafeContractor and Planet Mark creates a solution that not only helps organisations understand supply chain emissions today but also supports suppliers on their wider sustainability journey for the future.
As carbon reporting expectations continue to evolve, SafePlanet provides a simpler, more connected approach, helping clients gain greater visibility while giving suppliers the confidence to participate.
Together, SafeContractor and Planet Mark are making supply chain carbon reporting more practical, more credible and more achievable for everyone involved.
