Helping IMG Group to Turn Complex Data Into Actionable Sustainability Insights

Footprint Intelligence partnered with IMG Group to transform fragmented logistics and purchasing data into a clear, auditable Scope 3 emissions baseline. By applying AI-driven data processing, IMG Group gained visibility into emission hotspots that were previously difficult to quantify at scale.

Challenge

Why IMG Group Needed a Scalable Sustainability Solution

IMG Group faced a common but complex challenge: large volumes of logistics and purchasing data spread across systems, suppliers, and geographies—making Scope 3 emissions difficult to calculate reliably.

Large volumes of upstream and downstream logistics data
Fragmented purchasing data across suppliers & categories
Manual calculations not scalable or audit-proof
Need to comply with reporting standards and prepare sustainability reports

Solution

Focusing on the Most Material Scope 3 Categories

Footprint Intelligence helped IMG Group prioritize and quantify the most material Scope 3 categories, with a strong emphasis on logistics and purchased goods.

Key Scope 3 categories covered:

Category 1 & 2 – Purchased goods and capital goods
Category 4 – Upstream transportation and distribution
Category 9 – Downstream transportation and distribution

Results, Powered by AI

Data Processing for Logistics & Purchasing Emissions

Processed large volumes of logistics data to calculate Scope 3 Category 4 (upstream) and Category 9 (downstream) emissions

Analyzed purchasing data using AI to derive Scope 3 Category 1 & 2 emissions
Created a consistent, auditable emissions baseline
