The Challenge
As an ESG consultant, your value lies in analysis, strategy, and advisory — not in spending the first half of every engagement cleaning procurement data. Yet that's exactly where most Scope 3 projects stall: normalising units across dozens of supplier formats, resolving naming inconsistencies, filling in missing fields, and mapping every line to an emission factor before the real work can even begin. The cost is felt in three places at once. It compresses your margins on every engagement. It caps the number of clients you can serve at the same time. And it pushes the insight your clients are actually paying for to the back end of the project — when their CFO has already moved on to the next quarter.
