Sweep: supplier emissions, and a product mapped to UK SRS

Supply chain emissions software

From spend estimates to supplier-reported figures

Supply chain emissions are the Scope 3 emissions of the businesses a company buys from, chiefly category 1, purchased goods and services, and category 4, upstream transport, in the GHG Protocol Scope 3 Standard.

Sweep’s supplier emissions page describes the usual route: start with sectoral or spend-based estimates for the whole supply base, then replace them with suppliers’ own figures as they report.

It says it supports all four calculation methods — spend-based, average-data, hybrid and supplier-specific — which are the methods the GHG Protocol’s Scope 3 calculation guidance sets out for purchased goods.

For collection it lists connectors to procurement and ERP systems, invoice imports, pre-built survey campaigns, and imports from CDP Supply Chain, EcoVadis, S&P and the SBTi.

It gives every surveyed supplier a free Sweep account with its own footprint dashboard, and runs e-learning on GHG accounting for suppliers.

For targeting it describes supplier scorecards, sector benchmarks, procurement simulations of carbon and cost, and a module to track joint reduction commitments supplier by supplier.

The test of any of this is the record it leaves: which suppliers are on which method this year, and how the share of supplier-specific data has moved since last year.

Supply-chain requests often arrive through CDP, a voluntary system; target-setting sits with the SBTi, whose near-term criteria call for a Scope 3 target when relevant Scope 3 is 40% or more of total emissions.

UK SRS, by name

Pre-mapped to S1 and S2 — what the law now says around it

Sweep’s UK SRS page says its product is pre-mapped to S1 and S2, with AI-assisted drafting through its assistant, multi-level approvals, an audit trail and auditor access.

UK SRS S1 and S2 were published by the Department for Business and Trade on 25 February 2026, for voluntary use.

The FCA’s final rules, PS26/19 of 30 September 2026, require listed companies in UKLR 6, 14, 15, 16 and 22 to report against them on a comply-or-explain basis for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with first reports in 2028.

The final rules changed the CP26/5 proposal of mandatory S2: nothing is mandatory, and each requirement not met is explained.

No other UK entity is required to use UK SRS, and no government document proposes a threshold for private companies.

Sweep also says its disclosures are ready for ISSA (UK) 5000, which the FRC issued on 12 November 2025 for voluntary use; no UK law requires sustainability assurance, and a listed company that obtains it says who assured which disclosures, to which standard.

The comply-or-explain mechanics are on UK SRS compliance.

SECR

Not on its pages — and mostly not about suppliers

SECR was not named on the Sweep pages read for this profile.

It is a section of the directors’ report under Schedule 7 to SI 2008/410, built from UK energy use in kWh and the emissions it creates, with an intensity ratio, the methodology, the efficiency narrative and comparatives.

The government’s SECR guidance expects the UK conversion factors for the activity year.

A company buying Sweep for supplier data will usually still need its SECR section from the same dataset; the scope tests are on SECR requirements.

Pricing

Price: Enterprise level · TBD

Sweep publishes no price; its pricing address serves the home page and its pages lead to a 30-minute demonstration request.

This site does not estimate one, so the entry reads Enterprise level · TBD.

Because suppliers get free accounts, ask whether the price scales with the number of suppliers surveyed, the number of entities, or the frameworks reported.
