Key Features
- Total Emissions: An area chart showing total emissions from asset procurement over the last 3 to 5 years, measured in KgCO2e. The default view is 5 years, but this can be configured.
- Emissions by Calculation Methodologies: A line chart displaying emissions based on different methodologies such as EEIO data, LCA data, and supplier data, also measured in KgCO2e and available for up to 5 years.
- Emissions by Supplier and Spend Category: A bar graph providing granular data by supplier category or spend category. Users can select the desired year from the last 5 years.
- Suppliers with SBTi Approved Targets: A donut chart showing suppliers adhering to Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) standards, which promote emissions reductions and net-zero targets. Data is based on manual metric responses (Yes/No) entered by metric data owners.
- Emissions by GHG Scope 3 Categories: A bar graph displaying emissions data for GHG categories 1 (Purchased goods and services) and 2 (Capital goods) with selectable year from the last 5 years.
- Suppliers with CDP Data: A donut chart showing suppliers reporting under the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) standard, which requires disclosure of climate impact. This also relies on manual metric responses (Yes/No).
Practical Use for ServiceNow Customers
These reports enable organizations to track and analyze their scope 3 emissions comprehensively, identify suppliers aligned with recognized environmental standards (SBTi and CDP), and evaluate emissions trends over multiple years.

Displays the total emissions generated by asset procurement for the last five years. The data in this widget gets aggregated for each year. The unit of emission measurement for this report is KgCO2e. You can view the data for
the past 3, 4, or 5 years to obtain a comparative analysis. Note: You can configure the number of years for which you want to view the data in the sn_esg_scope3.historical_years_selector property. By default,
the data for 5 years is displayed. |

Emissions by calculation methodologies |
Line chart
|
Displays the emissions generated based on the various calculation methodologies such as EEIO data, LCA data, and supplier data. For more information about these calculation methodologies, refer to Scope 3 dashboard. The unit of emission measurement for this report is also KgCO2e. You can view the data for the past 3, 4, or 5 years to obtain a comparative analysis. |
| Emissions by supplier and spend category (KgCO2e) | Bar graph
|
Displays detailed and granular data for supplier category and spend category. Select either Supplier category or Spend category to view the required report. You can choose the desired year to view the data from the drop-down list that is provided. The data for the last 5 years is available for this report. |
| Suppliers with SBTi approved targets | Donut
|
Shows the supplier data obtained using the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) standard that suppliers must adhere to. SBTi defines and promotes strategies for emissions reductions and net-zero targets in line with
environmental science. This report enables you to identify which of your suppliers are adhering to the SBTi standards. The data for this report comes from the responses of the manual metrics definition that is provided by default.
Note: For the metric data tasks of this metric definition, the metric data owner must enter their responses as either Yes or No. |
| Emissions by GHG scope 3 categories (KgCO2e) | Bar graph
|
Displays the data for the GHG categories that are category 1 Purchased goods and services and category 2 Capital goods. You can choose the desired year to view the data from the drop-down list that is provided. The data for the last 5 years is available for this report. |
| Suppliers with CDP data | Donut
|
Displays the supplier data obtained using the Carbon disclosure project (CDP) standard that the suppliers must adhere to. CDP requires organizations to disclose their climate impact. The data for this report comes from the
responses of the manual metrics definition that is provided by default. Note: For the metric data tasks of this metric definition, the metric data owner must enter their responses as either Yes or
