About this open call

The brief

GreenSeal Ventures is sourcing scalable solutions that measurably cut Scope-3 emissions — the indirect carbon hidden across global supply chains. They want ideas that work across many suppliers and shipping lanes, not one-off optimisations, and that can show impact within a single pilot.

What they're looking for

Working products and prototypes that measure, attribute, or reduce supply-chain emissions: supplier scoring, smarter sourcing, modal shift, load consolidation, or emissions data that procurement teams can act on. Bonus points for solutions that plug into existing logistics and ERP systems without slowing delivery.

Problem statements

Scope-3 visibility

Most emissions sit in the supply chain, yet few buyers can measure them per supplier or lane. We need data procurement can actually act on.

Impact at scale

Point optimisations don't move the number. Solutions must work across many suppliers and shipping lanes — and show measurable impact within one pilot.
