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.
Formerly Supplier REach — now part of Meridian.

Inside a supplier program
From invitation to renewable supply
The dashboard you run the program from, the tool your suppliers work in, the allocation they consent to, and the certificate that proves it. The platform's own views, on representative data.

As suppliers procure renewable energy, their scope 2 falls, and the share they allocate to you reduces your scope 3, with a beneficiary certificate and an audit trail for every claim.

Book a demoA 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

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 getYou get evidence, at scale
Enrollment, reporting, and procured MWh roll up across the supply base — consent-gated, audit-ready, and attributable to your program.
