Terrascope Achieves WBCSD PACT Conformance: Enabling Scope 3 Supply Chain Carbon Transparency

Introduction

At Terrascope, we’re on a mission to make it easy for companies in the land, nature, and net zero economy sectors to measure and reduce their carbon emissions. Today, we’re proud to announce a major milestone in that journey: Terrascope is now officially conformant with the WBCSD’s Partnership for Carbon Transparency (PACT) standard.

This achievement marks a new era of interoperability for carbon emissions data sharing across global supply chains — and reinforces our commitment to making Scope 3 emissions more transparent, reliable, and actionable.

What is PACT and Why Does it Matter?

The Partnership for Carbon Transparency (PACT), led by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), aims to enable trusted, standardized, and interoperable product-level emissions data exchange across organizations and solution providers.

In today’s decarbonization landscape, collaboration is everything. Most emissions data — especially for Scope 3 — sits with partners upstream or downstream in the value chain. Without reliable access to supplier data, even the most sophisticated carbon accounting platforms hit a wall.

With PACT conformance, Terrascope customers can now send and receive Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) data seamlessly across the PACT network, even if their suppliers or partners use other platforms.

What We Built

• Developing a robust HTTP-based API system that enables secure, two-way exchange of product-level GHG data.
• Passing rigorous conformance tests in a peer-reviewed format moderated by WBCSD, with successful results submitted by two independent testing partners.
• Implementing the ability for users to send PCF results from Terrascope to other platforms (directly from the results page), and request results from external partners (via the product list page).
  

Customer Impact: Solving the Scope 3 Puzzle

This new capability addresses one of the toughest challenges in carbon accounting: getting access to primary data from across the supply chain. With PACT conformance, Terrascope customers can:

• Engage suppliers and partners more effectively to request or share Scope 3 carbon data.
• Ensure data consistency and trust across disparate platforms.
• Identify high-emissions hotspots and inform smarter procurement and manufacturing decisions.

Retailers, large food brands, and manufacturers — particularly those with complex supplier networks — stand to benefit the most.

What's Next

With backend infrastructure now live, we’re shifting gears to release a frontend interface to make PACT-powered workflows more easily accessible to all customers.

We’re proud to be part of the global movement for greater carbon transparency, and we look forward to helping our customers make the most of this breakthrough.
