Climate change, the 21st century's greatest challenge, has seen global temperatures rise by 1°C since the 19th century (NASA, 2024). Decarbonizing supply chains could be a pivotal factor for global climate action with a potentially huge impact. To reduce emissions, supply chains must consider Scope 1, 2, and the more challenging Scope 3—carbon emissions that are indirectly generated along their value chains. Scope 3 could account for more than 75% of the total emissions in the social production sector (CDP, 2024). Therefore, decarbonizing supply chains allows social production sectors to multiply their climate impact many times over. Despite existing methods, accurately calculating the carbon footprint for each order remains a major hurdle for many sectors.

The Supply Chain Emission Management Platform (SCEMP) is a digital solution dedicated to comprehensive monitoring, reporting, verification, and performance tracking of Scope 3 across supply chains. Specifically, it can calculate all categories of Scope 3 carbon emissions sources. Furthermore, SCEMP customizes net zero implementation plans for different supply chain members, providing precise decarbonization solutions to achieve optimal carbon emissions reduction outcomes. Traditionally, social production sectors relied on inefficient spreadsheets and limited GPS tracking for carbon emissions, often resulting in inaccurate carbon quantification. SCEMP revolutionizes this approach by integrating GPS and BeiDou Navigation Satellite System to enable real-time, precise tracking of all the data, while ensuring data authenticity through blockchain-secured verification. This innovative system effectively addresses the challenges of overlapping carbon emissions sources and inappropriate emission factors, ensuring accuracy and transparency in supply chain carbon management. Through the collaborative project "Green Initiative," JDL has led its upstream and downstream supply chain partners in building a low-carbon supply chain ecosystem.

SCEMP demonstrates strong replicability through its cross-industry applicability. Key factors supporting its replicability include:
1. Standardized Compliance: SCEMP aligns with globally recognized standards such as ISO 14064, ISO 14083, GHG Protocol, and GLEC, ensuring compatibility with international carbon quantification frameworks. This standardization lowers adoption barriers for multinational production sectors.
2. Multi-Sector Applications: SCEMP can calculate all categories of Scope 3 carbon emissions sources and is applicable to industries such as electronics, FMCG, automotive, food, fashion, and many others. SCEMP is already making a significant impact by helping many enterprises and SMEs accurately understand their carbon emissions and set them on reduction pathways.
3. Technological Scalability: The integration of real-time GPS and BeiDou Navigation Satellite System tracking, blockchain-certified data, and AI-driven analytics ensures the platform’s infrastructure can scale across regions.
4. Partnership Ecosystem: By partnering with social production sectors and their suppliers, verification agencies, and NGOs, SCEMP creates a collaborative ecosystem that other organizations can replicate to ensure credibility and compliance. The platform’s success in China positions it as a blueprint for other regions, particularly in emerging markets where Scope 3 tracking remains underdeveloped.

SCEMP drives environmental sustainability by enabling precise carbon emissions reduction, fostering circular economies, and incentivizing value chain engagement. Its impact is measured through quantifiable outcomes and alignment with global climate goals:
1. Carbon Emissions Reductions: SCEMP has facilitated the reduction of over 65,000 tons of carbon emissions across billions of orders per year. By replacing industry-average data with real-time tracking, it has improved carbon emission quantification accuracy from 70% to 99.5%, enabling targeted decarbonization strategies.
2. Resource Optimization: SCEMP optimizes delivery routes, vehicle utilization, and energy consumption, reducing fuel use by up to 15% in average projects.
3. Global Standards Alignment: The platform directly supports SDGs and WSIS, while also contributing to the net-zero targets of social production sectors.
4. Long-Term Impact: Partnerships with stakeholders across various regions ensure continuous innovation, while blockchain-backed MRV-T (Monitoring, Reporting, Validating and performance tracking) guarantees transparency and accountability.
5. Circular Economy Integration: Through the “Green Initiative”, SCEMP links carbon reduction to consumer behavior by converting saved carbon emissions into coupons. This model has engaged 6,580 million JD.com users and can be sustainably replicated across any e-commerce platform, fostering low-carbon consumption while strengthening brand loyalty. Additionally, it helps businesses implement the digital carbon passport for products in e-commerce, offers consumers clear green and low-carbon choices, and enables sustainable consumption via digital technology.

SCEMP directly supports the SDGs, particularly SDG 9, 11, 12, 13, 17. By providing a digital platform for monitoring, reporting, and validating Scope 3, SCEMP enables businesses to transition toward efficient low- carbon practices and optimize logistics for urban sustainability. This aligns with WSIS vision of leveraging technology to drive sustainable development and address global challenges. SCEMP’s innovative approach to carbon accounting and reduction not only helps social production sectors achieve net zero target but also contributes to broader societal goals, such as reducing energy poverty and promoting sustainable urban infrastructure and so on.
