How it works
Supply Chain Engagement
Embed sustainability across your value chain to achieve your net zero ambitions, mitigate risks and enhance your resilience.
What is Supply Chain Engagement?
As you strive for more sustainable business. It’s crucial to manage the impact across your entire supply chain. Why? Because up to 90% of emissions can occur within the value chain, highlighting the importance of supply chain transformation to your sustainability strategy and targets. In doing so, you can unlock the opportunities that a more sustainable supply chain brings.
How we help build a more sustainable, resilient supply chain
With our programme, you can access supplier emissions data, facilitate important conversations, and build capacity across your supply chain to reach net zero carbon emissions.
Supplier segmentation
Our team will provide valuable insights into your supplier base, differentiating between companies that can disclose carbon emissions data, set targets and those that need more support on their sustainability journey. Understanding the significance and maturity of your suppliers will unlock a bespoke engagement strategy to help them align with your net zero ambitions and support emissions reduction.
Access to data
Unavailable or fragmented supply chain data makes it difficult to take the right actions. We will work with suppliers that make up 80% of the spend within your supply chain to collect data on an annual basis for carbon calculation. By having a comprehensive view of the supply chain, we can identify opportunities for emissions reductions, drive innovation and create a more sustainable and resilient value chain.We provide templates, guides and tools to help you determine where and how you can reduce emissions. Once you have completed the plan, our team of sustainability consultants will ensure the robustness of your carbon management plan and support you along the process.
Supplier seminars
Without effective training, suppliers may not fully understand the importance of reducing their emissions or they may lack the knowledge and skills to implement sustainable practices. Through our bespoke training seminars, suppliers will be empowered to take climate action and support your organisation’s net zero goals. We will provide guidance on data collection and setting emission reduction targets while fostering stronger more collaborative relationships.
