Complex BOMs, rapid iteration and multi-tier supply chains make electronics carbon management challenging

  1. Multiple models and versions make carbon models hard to maintain

    Consumer electronics models and versions change rapidly, with frequent substitutions of chips, batteries, displays and structural parts. BOM changes directly affect footprints, and manual product-by-product remodeling struggles to keep pace.

  2. Complex components make primary upstream carbon data hard to obtain

    Product carbon data rely heavily on upstream chips, electronic parts, batteries and displays. Different supplier data foundations, accounting definitions and quality make ongoing collection and traceability difficult.

  3. Diverse manufacturing models make product and production data hard to connect

    Brands, owned factories, OEMs, ODMs and supplier tiers share production responsibilities. BOM, procurement, manufacturing and energy data are distributed across organizations and systems, complicating a unified, continuously updated foundation.

  4. Deeper carbon data use requires joint development and procurement decisions

    Electronics carbon management is expanding from accounting into material and component selection, design, supplier assessment and customer delivery. Data need to evolve continuously with development and supply chain changes.

Our industry practices

Opple Lighting Co., Ltd.

As a supply chain leader in the lighting sector, Opple Lighting has proactively undertaken a carbon calculation exercise with the technical support of Carbon Newture, completing a comprehensive corporate-level carbon inventory. The inventory covered Opple Lighting’s Shanghai headquarters as well as Suzhou Opple Lighting Co., Ltd., Opple (Zhongshan) Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., and Opple Lighting Electric (Zhongshan) Co., Ltd., spanning the entire year of 2024. It included Scope 1, Scope 2, and selected Scope 3 emissions, and was verified by the authoritative third-party certification body SGS, which issued an official carbon inventory statement.
