Deliver enablement at scale (webinars, office hours, FAQs, templates) plus targeted 1:1 support for low-maturity suppliers.
Establish and run a follow-up and escalation model for non-participation or repeated low-quality submissions.
Operate the data collection workflow using existing tools (e.g., Watershed or other supplier engagement platforms) and support scale-up planning as supplier volume increases.

Data quality,methodologyand improvements

Implement an assurance-ready supplier emissions data approach in collaboration with advisory support and internal stakeholders, defining minimum data requirements (Scope 1, Scope 2, and relevant upstream Scope 3), validation checks, and evidence expectations.
Provide supplier guidance on data expectations and common pitfalls andvalidate submissions through desk-based completeness and plausibility checks-driving clarifications and resubmissions as needed.

Where appropriate, develop lightweight automation (e.g., dashboards/surveys) to improve tracking and feedback loops as requirements grow.

Action planning and performance tracking

Translate supplier emissions submissions into credible action plans (milestones, owners, timelines, expected impact).
Identifyfeasible decarbonisation levers relevant to AVEVA's indirect supply chain and share practical recommendations with suppliers (e.g., renewable electricity, energy efficiency, cloud/IT optimisation, travel, logistics, facilities models).
