The challenge with scope 3
Scope 3 is the holy grail of emissions, making up to 90% of your product’s carbon footprint. But what exactly is scope 3? It’s the indirect emissions across your product’s entire value chain – everything from raw materials to disposal.
Here’s the issue – measuring scope 3 is tricky, complex and time-consuming. As a result, many companies create strategies and set targets based on rough benchmarks or assumptions, or worse, ignore scope 3 altogether, leading to strategies that miss the mark and fail to drive real change.
You need accurate scope 3 data for all your products to make a real impact.
How Root can help
This is where Root steps in. Our automated LCA platform simplifies the process of measuring the footprint of entire product portfolios, including those elusive scope 3 emissions.
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Upload data
- Upload your available company and product data using our user-friendly onboarding modules. We guide you through every step to collect the correct primary data.
- Root maps your supply chain and identifies additional information needed to create robust product footprints.
- Provide information about your products, suppliers, and transport routes.
- Missing some data? No problem – Root helps you fill in the gaps with informed assumptions, and we conduct an initial screening. From this screening, we help you focus on collecting the data on the 10% of your products that have the biggest impact, and we help you improve data accuracy over time.

Step 2: Measure impact
- Root generates thousands of product life cycles at once from that simple data upload.
- Root converts your product data into impact data using advanced algorithms and LCA databases.
- Understand your product’s impact with our clever dashboards, showing you information including:
- Products with the highest emissions.
- The life cycle stages of your product portfolio which emit the most carbon.
- A clear breakdown of your scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.
