Masterclass: From Supplier Requests to Usable PCF Data at Scale

Collecting product carbon footprint data directly from suppliers is difficult to scale. Requests often reach suppliers that are unprepared, lack the necessary data or do not understand why they should invest time in responding. Even when the technology for exchanging PCFs is in place, successful collection depends on selecting the right suppliers, preparing them before outreach and creating the internal support needed to drive participation. Without this groundwork, organisations risk low response rates, unusable data and significant manual follow-up.

In this masterclass, Makersite experts will share a practical approach to collecting supplier-specific PCF data at scale. We will explore how to prioritise suppliers based on readiness and strategic importance, involve procurement where commercial leverage is needed, and structure outreach to improve the likelihood of receiving usable data.

The session will also include a demonstration of Mattermaps, showing how organizations can request, manage and exchange standards-aligned PCF data across their supplier network.

Join us to see how to move from isolated supplier requests and manual follow-up to a more structured, repeatable PCF collection program.
