Sustainability | ESG

Shaping and managing supply chains according to your ESG goals within a global supplier network

Together for a better future

When it comes to achieving the ESG goals of manufacturing companies, the consideration of the entire supply network plays a central role. These challenging goals can only be successfully implemented in close cooperation with all those involved.

SupplyOn supports you with a wide range of solutions to achieve your sustainability goals together with your suppliers. This begins with the selection of suppliers from a sustainability perspective and continues with the collaborative determination of the CO2 footprint, the monitoring of environmental aspects right through to CO2-optimized transport route management.

“We are convinced that sustainability must be an integral part of the supply chain management, in order to reconcile sustainability aspects, environmental protection and social responsibility — comprehensively and without additional effort. Our community approach with industry-specific standard solutions provides the optimal basis to take suppliers along on your ESG journey — collaboratively and without overburdening them.“

Carbon Footprint

Jointly achieving ambitious climate targets in your supply chain

Up to 80% of CO2 emissions in the manufacturing industry come from the supply chain. So, CO2 emissions must be taken into account in all corporate decisions affecting the supply chain. The starting point for addressing this responsibility is the availability of reliable data. SupplyOn offers a holistic concept that considers the Company Carbon Footprint (CCF), the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) and the emissions caused by transport. This creates the basis for targeted emissions management and the sustainable reduction of your carbon footprint.
