How Red-Inc’s Scope 3 Reporting for Office Supplies Helps Businesses Cut Carbon Smarter
At Red-Inc, we’re not just about providing office supplies—we’re committed to helping businesses reduce their environmental impact. That’s why we’ve developed our pioneering Scope 3 reporting for office supplies, giving you a transparent breakdown of the emissions associated with your purchases.
By addressing the often-overlooked Scope 3 emissions, we empower businesses to make greener decisions and drive real sustainability progress. Our reports help you align with carbon reduction targets, meet ESG requirements, and make more informed procurement choices.
We are also committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), ensuring our carbon reduction strategies align with global efforts to limit climate change. Our Scope 3 reporting is a key part of this commitment, helping businesses track and reduce emissions in line with science-based targets.
Why Scope 3 Emissions Matter in Office Supplies
For most organisations, Scope 3 emissions make up the largest share of their carbon footprint. These emissions come from indirect sources, including:
- The goods and services you purchase (such as office supplies, IT equipment, and furniture).
- Waste disposal and recycling.
- Logistics and transportation of products.
Despite their complexity, tracking Scope 3 emissions is essential for businesses looking to meet net-zero goals. That’s where Red-Inc’s Scope 3 reporting for office supplies comes in, offering clarity and actionable insights.
How Red-Inc Simplifies Scope 3 Reporting for Office Supplies
Our reports go beyond just numbers—they provide meaningful insights tailored to your procurement data. Using the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol framework, we break down emissions into key categories:
1. Purchased Goods and Services
Every office supply product has an environmental impact. Our reports show you the carbon footprint of the items you buy from us, helping you make sustainable purchasing decisions.
We’re also enhancing reporting accuracy by shifting from spend-based methods to weight-based calculations and supplier-specific data. Our growing database includes lifecycle assessments and manufacturer-provided emissions factors, ensuring greater precision in your reporting.
2. Capital Goods
Long-term investments like office furniture and IT equipment have immediate carbon impacts. Our reports calculate emissions from these purchases, helping you include them in your overall carbon footprint assessment.
3. Waste Management
If you participate in our stationery recycling scheme, we track the emissions from waste disposal, enabling you to report your impact and improve waste reduction strategies.
4. Transportation and Distribution
Delivering office supplies comes with emissions. We work closely with logistics providers to track emissions, distinguishing between diesel and electric vehicle deliveries. Additionally, our delivery reduction schemes help businesses cut transport-related carbon emissions.
Customised and Accurate Scope 3 Reporting
We understand that no two businesses are the same, which is why our Scope 3 reporting for office supplies is tailored to your specific needs. Our reports use a mix of supplier-specific data, weight-based calculations, and spend-based estimates to ensure accuracy.
Where precise data isn’t available, we use spend-based calculations as a starting point. Over time, we refine our methodology, offering businesses increasingly accurate emissions estimates as our database expands.
Why Scope 3 Reporting Matters for Your Business
Our reports go beyond compliance—they’re tools for actionable change. With Red-Inc’s Scope 3 insights, you can:

Small Steps, Big Impacts
Sustainability isn’t about overnight change—it’s about making consistent, informed choices that add up over time. Our reports help you prioritise meaningful actions and move towards a lower-carbon future.
