Decarbonising Supply Chains: A Critical Task for Procurement
Procurement plays a pivotal role in achieving decarbonising supply chains and reducing Scope 3 emissions. At H&Z, we understand the unique challenges procurement faces, from data collection to interpreting and implementing actionable decarbonisation plans. Our approach ensures organisations can align their efforts with sustainability goals, regulatory compliance, and effective sustainability reporting.
Why Scope 3 Emissions Matters
Scope 3 emissions often represent the majority of a company’s total carbon footprint, spanning across the supply chain. These emissions are not only harder to measure but also present unique challenges in terms of supplier engagement, data comparability, and setting achievable reduction targets. At H&Z, we take a pragmatic approach to calculating and reducing Scope 3 emissions, helping you overcome these obstacles while maintaining cost efficiency, compliance, and strong supplier relationships.
The H&Z Solution
Our three-step process – Measure, Interpret, and Reduce – ensures that companies can effectively track their Scope 3 emissions and make informed decisions to meet sustainability goals.
We provide a pragmatic framework for measuring Scope 3 emissions, standardising supplier data, and creating a centralised system for accurate reporting. These insights enable clear sustainability reporting and long-term tracking for supply chain sustainability.
Once we have measured your emissions, we help identify the hotspots within your supply chain and align your reduction efforts with both regulatory and corporate targets.
Finally, we assist in developing and implementing a roadmap for decarbonising supply chains, delivering measurable reductions in Scope 3 emissions through supplier collaboration and strategic initiatives.
Overcoming the Challenges of Decarbonising Supply Chains
Procurement teams often struggle with diverse supplier bases, lack of uniform data, and aligning emission targets with business capabilities. H&Z’s approach provides solutions to these challenges through:
- Centralising data collection via ERP systems for consistent and reliable sustainability reporting
- Conducting benchmarking and scenario analyses to set realistic sustainability goals
- Engaging suppliers to foster collaboration and transparency, ensuring progress toward supply chain sustainability
