Saudi Carbon Monitoring provides supplier and site sustainability data requests in Saudi Arabia, helping organisations design practical requests for facilities, contractors and suppliers, then track completeness and quality. Environmental-data requests fail when recipients do not know the boundary, unit, period, calculation method or evidence expected.

We scope, coordinate and manage the data-collection and readiness work, and responses are not represented as independently assured. We do not verify a supplier’s claim or establish Scope 3 relevance; a qualified GHG and supply-chain practitioner confirms those points once the intended reporting framework and use are agreed.
Ask only for data with a defined use
Start by mapping each requested field to a calculation, KPI, risk review or disclosure. State whether the request concerns corporate totals, a specific product, service, shipment, facility or project. Define the reporting period, geography, greenhouse gases or environmental parameters, units and required allocation.
Avoid a generic request for “your carbon footprint.” Two suppliers may respond with different organisational boundaries, time periods and assurance levels. A usable template asks for the boundary and method alongside the number.
Create a response hierarchy
We define preferred evidence, acceptable alternatives and fallback estimation. A product-specific result supported by stated methodology may serve one purpose; activity quantities may be more useful for another. Spend data can support screening but should not be presented as precise supplier performance.
The request should capture:
- whether the value is measured, calculated or estimated;
- factor sources, base period and exclusions;
- assurance status;
- a contact for questions.
If an assurance statement is provided, retain its scope and period rather than recording only “verified.”
Make supplier sustainability data requests workable for contributors
Provide a data dictionary, examples, unit guidance, deadline, secure submission route and named support contact. Use validation to flag missing units, periods or evidence, but allow contributors to explain unusual values. For repeated cycles, preserve prior responses and show what changed.
Sites and suppliers should not receive the same template automatically. Internal sites may provide meter and source-level records, while suppliers may face confidentiality or allocation constraints. Segment requests by decision value and recipient capability.
Track status without claiming assurance
A response tracker may show not started, submitted, under review, clarification required, accepted for calculation, estimated or excluded. “Accepted” should mean accepted under the project’s defined data process, not independently assured. Keep reviewer comments, revisions and final evidence linked.
Connect priority supplier data to Scope 3 screening and readiness and internal site data to operational GHG collection systems. The data gaps and uncertainty process records fallback treatments.
Scope and deliverables
Provide the organisational purpose, reporting period, recipient list, categories, current questionnaires, calculation needs, platforms, language and confidentiality requirements. Outputs can include segmented templates, data dictionary, evidence requirements, guidance notes, status model, validation rules, reviewer workflow, escalation and improvement plan. Saudi Carbon Monitoring is available for projects across Saudi Arabia, including Dammam, Jubail, Riyadh, Jeddah, NEOM and Qiddiya.
Improve response quality over time
After the first cycle, analyse which questions caused confusion, which units required correction and which evidence was unavailable. Group suppliers or sites by materiality and capability. High-priority contributors may receive technical sessions and more specific requirements; low-priority contributors may use a simpler activity template. Do not force every participant into an expensive data exercise that does not improve the decision.
Publish a correction window and preserve all submitted versions. When a supplier changes a value, require the reason, method and evidence impact. Track recurring non-response separately from accepted estimates. Where contracts are being renewed, the client may choose to add data definitions, timing and evidence clauses through its legal and procurement teams. The measurement project can specify the information need but should not issue legal terms. These improvements turn the request from an annual chase into a repeatable data process.
Close the collection cycle
Issue a completion report showing response rates, accepted data, estimates, unresolved requests and material limitations by category. Return corrections to source owners and freeze the dataset used for calculation. The GHG practitioner approves any fallback method. Lessons learned then update the next request, while the issued evidence set remains unchanged and reproducible.
Frequently asked questions
Who provides supplier and site sustainability data requests in Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Carbon Monitoring provides the segmented templates, data dictionary, evidence requirements, status model and reviewer workflow for requests to your suppliers and sites.
Does a supplier questionnaire verify the response?
No. It collects structured information. Verification requires separate competent procedures and criteria.
How do I request emissions data from suppliers, and what if a supplier cannot provide it?
Request corporate emissions only if that boundary supports the intended use; product, service or activity data may be more relevant for some calculations. If a supplier cannot provide emissions data, request suitable activity data where possible, then apply the approved fallback method and disclose uncertainty.
Can spend data be used?
It can support screening or selected calculations under practitioner review, but it often has higher uncertainty than physical or supplier-specific data.
How should confidential data be handled?
Define access, storage, retention, aggregation and permitted use before collection, with client-approved security controls.
What affects the cost of supplier sustainability data requests?
Cost depends on the number of recipients and categories, the templates and platforms involved, language and confidentiality requirements, and the review effort. Your quotation sets out the scope and price.
How long does a supplier data request cycle take?
Timing depends on the number of suppliers and sites, their capability to respond, the correction window and review effort. The schedule is set out in your quotation.
