Project Gigaton: the full scope of supplier requirements

Walmart's Project Gigaton is one of the largest private-sector sustainability mandates in the world. It requires all Tier 1 suppliers to report annual emissions data across Scope 1, 2, and 3 — categorized by GHG Protocol standard. Suppliers who submit complete, documented data can achieve Giga Guru status (Bronze, Silver, or Gold). Those who don't risk losing Preferred Supplier standing.

📊 Scope 1 — Direct Emissions

Fleet fuel consumption, on-site natural gas, refrigerant losses, manufacturing process emissions. Walmart expects documented energy consumption data with source verification.

⚡ Scope 2 — Purchased Energy

Electricity, steam, and heating purchased from utilities. Emissa uses EPA eGRID regional grid factors so your Scope 2 calculation is regionally accurate, not a national average.

🔗 Scope 3 — Supply Chain & Value Chain

The largest emissions bucket and the hardest to calculate. Categories 1 (purchased goods), 4 (upstream transportation), and 5 (waste) are the primary focus areas for food and CPG suppliers.

🏅 Giga Guru Documentation Standards

Gold-level submissions require emission factor sourcing, methodology transparency, and a data quality narrative. Emissa's output includes all three — generated automatically from your QuickBooks data.
