Summary of Reports on the Scope 3 Dashboard
The Scope 3 dashboard in ServiceNow provides ESG administrators and program managers with a variety of reports to monitor and analyze the sustainability impact of an organization's Scope 3 emissions. These emissions relate to indirect greenhouse gas emissions occurring in the value chain, such as those from purchased goods and services or capital goods.

Each report on the dashboard offers drill-down capabilities for detailed metric definitions and data source entities, enabling thorough analysis and transparency.
Key Features
- Total emissions (Area chart): Displays total emissions from asset procurement over the last five years, measured in KgCO2e. The time range can be configured between 3 to 5 years via the
snesgscope3.historicalyearsselectorproperty. - Emissions by calculation methodologies (Line chart): Shows emissions based on different methodologies including EEIO data, LCA data, and supplier data, also in KgCO2e, with a selectable 3 to 5-year range for comparative analysis.
- Emissions by supplier and spend category (Bar graph): Provides granular emissions data categorized by supplier or spend category. Users can select the category and year (up to 5 years) for detailed insights.
- Suppliers with SBTi approved targets (Donut chart): Identifies suppliers adhering to Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) standards, which promote emissions reduction and net-zero targets. Data is based on manual metric definitions requiring Yes/No responses from metric data owners.
- Emissions by GHG scope 3 categories (Bar graph): Displays emissions data specifically for GHG categories 1 (Purchased goods and services) and 2 (Capital goods), with selectable yearly data for up to 5 years.
- Suppliers with CDP data (Donut chart): Highlights suppliers adhering to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) standards, which mandate disclosure of climate impact. Similar to SBTi data, this relies on manual metric inputs with Yes/No responses.

Data visualizations
As an ESG administrator and an ESG program manager, you can view the following reports on the Scope 3 dashboard.
| Title | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Total emissions |
Area chart
|
Displays the total emissions generated by asset procurement for the last five years. The data in this widget gets aggregated for each year. The unit of emission measurement for this report is KgCO2e. You can view the data for
the past 3, 4, or 5 years to obtain a comparative analysis. Note: You can configure the number of years for which you want to view the data in the sn_esg_scope3.historical_years_selector property. By default,
the data for 5 years is displayed. |
|
Emissions by calculation methodologies |
Line chart
|
Displays the emissions generated based on the various calculation methodologies such as EEIO data, LCA data, and supplier data. For more information about these calculation methodologies, refer to Scope 3 dashboard. The unit of emission measurement for this report is also KgCO2e. You can view the data for the past 3, 4, or 5 years to obtain a comparative analysis. |
| Emissions by supplier and spend category (KgCO2e) | Bar graph
|
Displays detailed and granular data for supplier category and spend category. Select either Supplier category or Spend category to view the required report. You can choose the desired year to view the data from the drop-down list that is provided. The data for the last 5 years is available for this report. |
| Suppliers with SBTi approved targets | Donut
|
Shows the supplier data obtained using the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) standard that suppliers must adhere to. SBTi defines and promotes strategies for emissions reductions and net-zero targets in line with
environmental science. This report enables you to identify which of your suppliers are adhering to the SBTi standards. The data for this report comes from the responses of the manual metrics definition that is provided by default.
Note: For the metric data tasks of this metric definition, the metric data owner must enter their responses as either Yes or No. |
| Emissions by GHG scope 3 categories (KgCO2e) | Bar graph
|
Displays the data for the GHG categories that are category 1 Purchased goods and services and category 2 Capital goods. You can choose the desired year to view the data from the drop-down list that is provided. The data for the last 5 years is available for this report. |
| Suppliers with CDP data | Donut
|
Displays the supplier data obtained using the Carbon disclosure project (CDP) standard that the suppliers must adhere to. CDP requires organizations to disclose their climate impact. The data for this report comes from the
responses of the manual metrics definition that is provided by default. Note: For the metric data tasks of this metric definition, the metric data owner must enter their responses as either Yes or
No. |
