Scope 3 is where your sustainability strategy is actually decided

For an electric vehicle manufacturer, roughly two-thirds of the lifetime footprint is locked in before the car leaves the factory — and most of that sits in suppliers you don't directly control. Reporting Scope 3 with industry-average emission factors hides the variance that actually matters: the difference between an LFP cell sourced from a renewable-grid factory and an NMC cell from a coal-heavy one, the difference between Indonesian and Canadian nickel, the difference between a recycled and a virgin magnet. Minviro models the supplier-by-supplier reality behind your bill of materials, so the number you report reflects the supply chain you actually buy from.

Battery pack and powertrain LCAs at the chemistry level

We don't run a generic "EV battery" emission factor. We build the model from the cells you actually buy — LFP, NMC, LMFP, solid-state — and from the factories they're actually made in. The result is a battery pack footprint that reflects your procurement strategy, not the industry average.

Scope 3 Category 1 modelling with primary supplier data

OEM requests, Scope 3 targets and applicable battery disclosure rules create different evidence needs. We help prioritise primary supplier data, document assumptions and prepare traceable outputs. CSRD applies only to entities within its revised scope; smaller suppliers are not automatically subject to the same reporting duties.

Sourcing decisions that show up in the carbon number

When your procurement team considers a chemistry switch, a new supplier or a different production geography, the carbon implication should be quantified before the contract is signed. We build the model so a sourcing change updates the footprint automatically, not through a six-week consulting re-engagement.

Make Scope 3 a strategic lever, not an annual reporting burden

Most OEMs report Scope 3 once a year, file it, and move on. The manufacturers pulling ahead use Scope 3 to make sourcing decisions in real time — which battery supplier, which magnet, which steel mill. We build the model so a procurement decision shows up in the carbon number before the PO is signed, not after the financial year closes.

Survive customer audits with primary supplier data, not estimates

Survive customer audits with primary supplier data, not estimates

When your largest fleet customer asks how you arrived at your battery pack footprint, "industry average" stops being good enough. We help you collect, structure and verify primary data from tier-1 and tier-2 suppliers, so when a corporate buyer's sustainability team scrutinises your disclosure, the answer is in your model — not in a follow-up email three weeks later.

Quantify the chemistry trade-off before the contract is signed

Quantify the chemistry trade-off before the contract is signed

LFP versus NMC is a sourcing and carbon decision as well as a range and cost decision. We have delivered comparative LCAs across major active cell chemistries, working with the VDA and individual OEMs, so procurement and sustainability teams can compare options using documented evidence.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER

Ready to model your real Scope 3?

Whether you are responding to OEM data requests, preparing an applicable disclosure or comparing sourcing options, the right starting point depends on the decision due first. We will scope it on a call and say if a consultancy engagement is not right yet.
