If you Have Data,
But Need Compliance
"We measured Scope 3 with industry averages or third-party tools. Now LSR regulations require land-specific breakdowns we don't have."
Land Sector EF Disaggregation

Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need supplier data to start?
No. You can begin with LCA/PCF estimates without supplier data and reach 70% accuracy, then prioritise which suppliers and SKUs to engage first.
How quickly can we be ready for FLAG submission?
Terrascope supports FLAG submission in 4–6 weeks, with built-in dashboards, breakdowns, and separate land-based reporting.
Can we explain year-on-year emissions changes?
Yes. Activity lineage helps you trace changes back to drivers—so you can defend results internally and externally.
