Who controls the supplier's data?

The supplier does. Sharing is opt-in and tied to the energy they allocate to you; they can revoke consent at any time, which removes the partner-visible data while preserving their own private record.

Scope 3 supply chain

Cut the emissions you don't own, by helping suppliers act.

Most of a company's footprint sits in its supply chain, where you have influence but no meter. Meridian turns that into a program: invite suppliers, help them report energy and procure renewables, and watch their progress reduce your scope 3, with consent-gated data and an audit trail behind every claim.

Supplier program controls

From invitation to renewable supply

Every supplier's stage in the journey and their renewable share, market by market. This is the dashboard your program team works in, shown here on representative data.

Supplier program

Renewable energy across the supply chain

A program, not a survey

Suppliers stall on renewable energy for real reasons: opaque pricing, unfamiliar markets, and financial risk. A once-a-year data request clears none of them; a guided program with real options does.

Invite and onboard suppliers

A guided onboarding meets suppliers where they are, from a Fortune 500 sustainability team to a first-time reporter, and sets a renewable target they can actually reach.

Supplier-led allocation, with consent

Suppliers allocate a share of each facility's energy to you and choose what to share. Consent is theirs to grant or revoke, so the data you report on is data they stand behind.

Scope 3 reduction you can evidence

As suppliers procure renewables, their scope 2 falls and your scope 3 with it, recorded with a beneficiary certificate and an audit trail rather than an estimate.

Your footprint lives where you don't operate.

The leverage is your supply chain. Meridian turns supplier relationships into measured, renewable progress.

How scope 3 falls

Influence becomes reduction, in three moves

You cannot retire a certificate for energy you do not buy. So the work is enabling the supplier to act, then accounting for it honestly when they do.

Move 1
Invite and onboard
You invite suppliers into a sponsored program; they accept, set a renewable target, and start reporting facility energy.
Move 2
Report and allocate
Suppliers allocate a share of their energy to you and consent to share it, creating the edge that ties their progress to your footprint.
Move 3
Procure and account
Suppliers procure renewables, their scope 2 falls, and the allocated share reduces your scope 3, with a beneficiary certificate issued and an audit trail kept.

Up to 90%: Of a typical footprint can sit in scope 3
500M+ MWh: EACs delivered in the last five years
100+ markets: Markets where suppliers can procure clean energy

The sponsor's math

One program, your whole supply base.

Supplier programs stall when every supplier needs a budget, a tool, and a consultant. A sponsored program removes all three at once — which is why one anchor can move hundreds of suppliers where individual outreach moves a handful.

You sponsor once
The program is funded at the program level. Suppliers join at no cost to them, with program-sponsored access to the marketplace — so participation never stalls on a supplier's budget.
Suppliers get a real tool
Not a survey portal: the knowledge library, marketplace access, and goal tracking that actually answer the ask you sent them.
See what suppliers get
You get evidence, at scale
Enrollment, reporting, and procured MWh roll up across the supply base — consent-gated, audit-ready, and attributable to your program.

Frequently asked questions

What sponsors ask before standing up a supplier program.

How it works

When a supplier procures renewable energy, their scope 2 emissions fall. The share of that facility's energy they allocate to you, with their consent, reduces the value-chain emissions in your scope 3, evidenced rather than estimated.

A beneficiary attribute certificate is issued for the allocated renewable energy, written together with its ledger entry, so each claim has a verifiable trail rather than a spreadsheet estimate.

Running a program

You choose. A sponsored program upgrades accepted suppliers at your cost so participation is free for them; an unsponsored program leaves suppliers on their existing plan. Either way, onboarding is the same.

That is the common case, and the onboarding is built for it: a guided, step-by-step flow that explains what is being asked and why, so a first-time reporter can complete it without a consultant.

Yes. Our team helps design the program, engage the supply base, and stand up procurement options in each market, with the advisory team behind it when a supplier needs a route to clean energy.

Yes. The supplier engagement program many teams know as Supplier REach is now part of Meridian. Built in 2023 in collaboration with Microsoft, it has grown dramatically since: more markets, more suppliers, and far deeper tracking and procurement than the first release. The name changed and the capabilities expanded; the team behind it did not.
