Scope 3 Contractor Compliance Workbook

Five phases. Work the checklist live. Unlock the paste-ready contract clause and program summary with a work email.

Featured in IFMA FMJ (Aug 31, 2026) — Closing the Scope 3 Data Gap. Companion to the announcement on Tygart Media.

Phase 1 — Vendor inventory

Map the contractor categories that actually move Category 1. Check what you run.

Priority score: 0 — check categories to rank the gap.

Phase 2 — Qualification

Add these to RFPs and existing-vendor surveys. Tier the pool.

Phase 3 — Contract language

The clause is the control. Unlock it below, paste into MSAs and emergency panel agreements before the next loss.

Phase 4 — Receiving process

Every restoration job needs an emissions record attached — not a year-end scramble.

Phase 5 — Inventory close

Compile primary data vs proxy. Document methodology. Flag material gaps for the auditor.

Unlock the clause and program summary

Work email. Role. That is the gate. The checklist above stays usable either way.

    Used to send the clause pack and tag this as an FMJ workbook lead. No daily mail.

    Paste-ready clause

    Drop this into restoration and specialty-trade agreements. RCP is the methodology for restoration; GHG Protocol Category 1 for everything else.

    Vendor agrees to provide a per-project greenhouse gas emissions summary for each project completed at Client facilities, using a documented calculation methodology consistent with GHG Protocol Scope 3 Category 1 guidelines. For restoration, remediation, and related emergency response work, the accepted methodology is the Restoration Carbon Protocol (RCP).

    The summary shall include: total fuel consumption by equipment type, vehicle miles traveled, waste materials removed by type and weight, and total equipment operating hours. Submissions shall be provided within 30 days of project completion, in PDF, CSV, or an API-compatible format.

    Client retains the right to audit Vendor’s data collection process during the contract term. Failure to deliver a complete summary is a material vendor-performance issue at renewal.

    Program summary

    Generated from the boxes you checked. Export and attach to the FM / ESG file.
