Need 2 Know

Need 2 Know is a supplier sustainability scorecard and category portal for Scope 3. It pulls ratings, disclosures, internal assessments and market intelligence into one view, then adds commercial context, transition analysis and sector benchmarks.

It is designed to fit existing procurement processes rather than replace them.

Supply chain due diligence is now a legal obligation under CSRD, CSDDD, the UK Modern Slavery Act and Scope 3 accounting. Teams are being asked to evidence things nobody previously recorded.

Sustainability tooling in procurement is full of unused dashboards. A category manager does not have forty minutes to interrogate a chart before a negotiation.

What they need is a briefing, not a view.

We designed and built an interface around plain questions — 'tell me everything I need to know to negotiate facilities management' — and the answer comes back as a written briefing.

We held the decision to remove the dashboard through every stakeholder review, because adding one back would have put users straight into the habit the product exists to break.

The answer is formatted to be read on a phone on the way to a supplier meeting, with the commercial and environmental points in the same paragraph.
