Sustainable Platform “SCOPE 3 Neo”
Technology / Service Summary
“SCOPE 3 Neo” is an online platform that matches suppliers practicing sustainable agriculture with manufacturers seeking sustainable materials, enabling direct trade between them.
The first registered producer is the Tomé-Açu Mixed Agricultural Cooperative (CAMTA), based in Pará, Brazil. CAMTA is a pioneer in agroforestry and developed “SAFTA” (System Agroforestry of Tomé-Açu), also known as “farming that creates forests” — a sustainable agricultural method that harmonizes economic activity with environmental preservation.
Purpose
SCOPE 3 Neo was created to help companies address their Scope 3 emissions—soon to become a mandatory disclosure item—and to move beyond net zero toward achieving net negative emissions.
Only raw materials that are genuinely sustainable and can scientifically demonstrate that their CO₂ reduction exceeds or equals their emissions are featured on the platform.
Complying with international standards such as ISO 14067 and the GHG Protocol, the platform provides a transparent environment where buyers and suppliers can connect with confidence, supported by government data and academic research.
Each raw material includes traceable data on CO₂ absorption achieved through agroforestry cultivation, which may in the future be applied as carbon credits.
As a new standard for sustainable sourcing, SCOPE 3 Neo aims to make sustainable procurement the norm rather than the exception.
Feature
① A Strictly Screened B2B Matching Platform
Only suppliers that meet specific agroforestry-related criteria can participate in SCOPE 3 Neo. Each supplier undergoes a rigorous pre-screening process evaluating factors such as CO₂ reduction efforts, pesticide management, use of circular materials, and disclosure of traceability. This ensures that only highly reliable and sustainable suppliers are brought together on the platform.
② Transparency Backed by Credible Data
SCOPE 3 Neo places great importance on visualizing environmental information.
Emission and reduction data are designed in line with international standards such as ISO 14067 and the GHG Protocol. The platform uses official API databases certified by national government agencies and references academic research to maintain transparency throughout the process.
Clear and verifiable data are the foundation of trustworthy transactions.
③ Transactions that Directly Contribute to Scope 3 Reduction
Each raw material traded on SCOPE 3 Neo is linked to its quantified CO₂ absorption through agroforestry practices, with certification available upon request.
While conventional materials add to a company’s Scope 3 emissions, materials sourced through SCOPE 3 Neo can actually reduce them — a distinctive feature of the platform.
Buyers can select materials based not only on price but also on their environmental contribution, while suppliers can present the added value of their sustainable materials in measurable terms.
Every sourcing decision becomes a direct act of CO₂ reduction — this is the true value of SCOPE 3 Neo.
Effect
① Enable CO₂ Emission Reduction
Purchasing raw materials through the platform allows companies to reduce their CO₂ emissions.
The amount of CO₂ absorbed by trees on farms is linked to the raw materials as a Scope 3 “reduction contribution,” which can then be reflected in clients’ emission calculations.
② Matching Producers with Clients
All raw materials undergo a screening process before being registered on the platform.
This ensures that clients can connect with trusted producers.
At the same time, producers gain access to clients seeking sustainable materials, creating new business opportunities and fostering a mutually beneficial relationship.
③ Enhancing the Value of Sustainable Materials
For the sustainable materials market to thrive, these materials must be appropriately valued—both financially and socially—rather than treated the same as conventional raw materials.
On the platform, CO₂ reduction quantities are linked to each material, highlighting its added value.
For producers, having a reliable market for their products is essential. Profitable sales are a key driver for sustaining agricultural operations, which is the foundation of true sustainability.
④ PR Benefits and Corporate Value Enhancement
Clients can showcase the CO₂ reduction achieved through the use of materials sourced via SCOPE 3 Neo in their products.
This enables differentiation, branding, and environmental contribution PR.
Additionally, reporting these reductions in corporate evaluation surveys can contribute to enhanced corporate value.
