Sustainability Intelligence - Building Scope 3 Ecosystems

Sus-Intel is LSEG’s sustainability intelligence platform that helps financial institutions and corporates measure, manage, and report carbon emissions across their value chains — driving transparency, compliance, and data-driven climate action.

Project Overview

I led the end-to-end product development and design of LSEG’s Scope 3 Ecosystem - connecting supplier engagement, emissions estimation, data sharing, and reporting periods into one traceable, scalable system.
What began as fragmented tools became a unified climate reporting platform used by corporates and thousands of suppliers.

Scope 3 Emissions : Scope 3 represents the emissions a company doesn’t directly control but is responsible for across its supply chain — often 70–90% of total emissions.

Solution:

• Reporting Periods: A time-anchoring layer that ties all emissions to the correct disclosure cycle.

• Streamlined Scope 3 Estimation:
  Created continuity between estimation cycles so corporates no longer need to re-upload full supplier lists

• Connected Supplier Engagement:
  Linked engagements directly to supplier profiles, estimates, and reporting data, giving corporates a complete view of who has already shared information and what’s still pending.

• Built a Central Supplier Record:
  Designed a persistent supplier database that stores supplier details and emissions history, engament history

• Enabled Data Reuse & Sharing:
  Introduced logic for suppliers to share previously reported data across multiple corporates, reducing duplicate survey requests and making the entire process more efficient.

MVP Highlights

• Centralized supplier database

• Engagement module with customizable surveys

• Supplier account creation for direct data sharing

• Reported vs Estimated Emissions data views

• Activation analytics dashboard

The Problem

Scope 3 accounts for 70–90% of a company’s total emissions - The state of the platform when I joined:

• No reporting periods, so emissions couldn’t be tied to any year or disclosure cycle.

• Scope 3 estimation had to start from scratch every time with full supplier re-uploads.

• Supplier engagement was disconnected from supplier profiles, estimates, and reporting.

• No central supplier database — data couldn’t be reused or tracked across engagements.

• Reported data couldn’t flow into analytics or be shared across corporates.

• Suppliers received duplicate survey requests with no visibility or reuse of past submissions.

The Problem Statement

"How might we build a connected platform that enables corporates to seamlessly estimate, collect, and report Scope 3 emissions — aligning supplier and emissions data to reporting periods — so they can meet sustainability reporting requirements with accuracy, traceability, and trust?"

Timeline
