Green x Digital Consortium Extension for Technical Specifications for Data Exchange

The Green x Digital Consortium works to digitize environment-related fields and create new  business models so as to optimize Japanese industry and society as a whole toward the realization of carbon neutrality by 2050.

This data model is addressing the following challenges in Scope 3 Emissions Accounting:

Challenge 1: Complexity of Scope 3 Calculations

Current Approach: Product-based emissions calculations require significant effort, limiting supplier participation.
Proposed Solution: Shift to organization-based calculations with certification to ensure data reliability and reduce reporting burden.

Challenge 2: Limited Visibility into Supply Chain Emission Reductions

Current Approach: Emission reduction efforts beyond direct suppliers remain unclear, hindering value chain-wide optimization.
Proposed Solution: Combine cradle-to-gate and gate-to-gate data to enable full lifecycle emissions tracking and identify high-impact areas for decarbonization.
