Carbon Footprint

Jointly achieving ambitious climate targets in your supply chain

REDUCE YOUR CO2 FOOTPRINT NOW detail

The impact of your supply chain on your footprint is huge

Up to 80% of CO2 emissions in the manufacturing industry come from the supply chain. Companies pursuing ambitious climate targets can therefore only achieve them in close cooperation with their suppliers. This requires transparency: on the one hand, about your suppliers’ standing and what goals they are pursuing in this area, and on the other hand, about the CO2 emissions caused by your purchased parts.

SupplyOn offers a holistic approach that takes into account the Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF), the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) and the emissions caused by transportation. It is based on the fact that all processes with suppliers are handled seamlessly via SupplyOn and that potential savings can be identified by analyzing the data generated in the process. This creates the basis for targeted emissions management and the sustainable reduction of your carbon footprint.

Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) of your suppliers

When it comes to the Corporate Carbon Footprint, SupplyOn quickly ensures transparency: What actual share does each supplier contribute to your current and future footprint? Are your suppliers already pursuing ambitious climate targets themselves? Do your suppliers’ targets coincide with your own?

SupplyOn’s community approach gives you access to important CO2-relevant key figures — such as the Climate Readiness Score — from a steadily growing number of suppliers.

In the future, a Climate Dashboard will give you an overview of all climate-relevant scores and enable you to make sustainable purchasing decisions.

Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)

For the Product Carbon Footprint, the supplier with the lowest PCF or with the most demanding reduction targets can already be selected in the sourcing and awarding process.

In the development phase, the focus is on eco-engineering with the aim, on the one hand, of testing different product variants and, on the other, of making manufacturing as low-emission as possible by using suitable production processes.

For series parts, the PCF can be updated on-demand or as part of the annual price request.
and agreed reduction targets can be checked. In this way, emissions can be further optimized even after start-of-production.

Transport Carbon Footprint

The starting point for reducing the transport carbon footprint is the determination of transport emissions on the basis of actual transports using the activity-based approach.

By interlinking demand processes (Supply Chain Collaboration) with Transport Management, transport emissions can also be allocated to individual products.

The Transport Management solution from SupplyOn can be used to further reduce the emissions caused by transport. With the help of intelligent optimized route planning, time, route and CO2 emissions are taken into account and optimized routes are suggested.

The magic triangle of purchasing decisions is turning into a square

The three decision-making criteria in purchasing – cost, quality and delivery reliability – have been joined by a fourth one: Sustainability.
