Sustainability data requests: answer them from the product record
Every customer asks for the same sustainability data in its own format. Supply chain emissions average 26 times a company's own operations, so customers need their suppliers' product figures, and the volume of footprint data being exchanged is climbing fast. When those figures sit in spreadsheets, each questionnaire pulls R&D off development to rebuild answers from scattered files.
Uncountable's ESG and sustainability tools keep the figures on the formula. Emission factors and content values sit on ingredients, and footprint, bio-based and VOC values roll up from each formula, so R&D, regulatory and sustainability teams answer from the same records. The footprint panel names each input with no factor, suppliers send forms and files through the portal, and figures go to Excel, CSV, PDF or your systems without copy and paste.
This solution brief is for R&D, regulatory and sustainability leaders at formulation companies who answer customer sustainability questionnaires.
Inside this solution brief:
- Why supply chain emissions put supplier product data in demand
- Emission factors and content values kept on each ingredient
- Footprint, bio-based and VOC figures rolled up from every formula
- Missing factors found and requested from suppliers through the portal
- Exports to Excel, CSV, PDF or your systems, and Bodie to collect figures on request
- A worked example: a retailer's request for three paints

FAQs
How Uncountable answers customer sustainability and product carbon footprint requests from the formulation record, with emission factors on ingredients, figures rolled up from each formula, gaps found early and supplier data collected through the portal.
A company's supply chain emits far more than its own operations, 26 times on global average according to CDP and BCG (2024), so customers need supplier product figures to account for their supply chain emissions. Exchanges are growing quickly: 4,500 PCFs were exchanged in the PACT Implementation Program in 2024, up 805% from 2023.
Footprint, bio-based content and VOC values roll up from each formula, using the emission factors and content values held on its ingredients.
The footprint panel names each input with no factor, so gaps are found before the deadline, and a request can go to that supplier through the portal.
Figures export to Excel, CSV or PDF or go to your other systems, so nobody copies and pastes values into each questionnaire. Bodie, the AI agent, can also collect figures on request.
