The Value Chain Carbon Transparency Pathfinder is an initiative working to enable the widespread exchange of carbon emissions data. It brings together stakeholders from across the value chain, as well as bodies like the GHG Protocol and technology firms to create the infrastructure needed to enable value chain emissions transparency and data exchange. 

The Pathfinder approach aims to enable companies to generate an understanding of scope 3 emissions by using primary, product-level data collection in place of industry-averaged emissions factors.
