How do I get data from suppliers?

With the likes of your energy use, it can be as simple as pulling the kWh from your bills. You should also be able to get the fuel mix from your supplier, which adds a great bit of granularity to your data.

For other points deeper in your supply chain, it is always worth asking your supplier for the information. You might be fortunate, and they will have the information but even if they don’t, asking such questions will raise this on their agenda and hopefully inspire change for the future. The more of us asking the questions, the better.

If you are able to do so, selecting suppliers that have ‘sustainable’ credentials and the capacity to share information about their practices will certainly help you in your goals to reduce any negative environmental impacts.
