IMEF Digital Workflow & Emissions Data Integration

To support practical adoption of the IMEF Digital Workflow, the IMEF Council, supported by a wide Working Group of experienced specialists, have developed a set of role-specific implementation guides. These documents provide clear, actionable instructions for different stakeholders across the supply chain, outlining the system requirements, data fields, and processes needed to enable emissions data exchange at transactional level. Each guide reflects the same core objective: to ensure that emissions data can flow seamlessly from suppliers, through procurement platforms, and into buyer ERP systems, beginning at quotation stage and continuing through order confirmation.
