Got net-zero news, project updates, or product launches to share? How Supply Chain Impacts Business Emissions
Monday 10 June 2024
Matteo Deidda, the Supply Chain Senior Sustainability Manager at Lloyds Banking Group, highlighted the importance of organisations including their suppliers in the journey towards achieving net zero emissions.
Have you ever considered how the efficiency of your supply chain impacts your Scope 3 emissions?
According to the World Economic Forum, a massive 80% of total carbon emissions can be attributed to global supply chains.
Matteo emphasised the willingness of organisations and individuals to do the right thing, even though they may face certain obstacles. At Lloyds, they actively engage with suppliers to support and guide them through their sustainability transition by identifying and addressing their challenges.
He stressed the significance of suppliers collaborating, sharing information, and working together to overcome common obstacles, particularly in relation to Scope 3 emissions. With the ever-evolving landscape in the quest for sustainability, no one has all the answers, leading to the question of where to begin. Matteo’s advice is simple – just start somewhere.
The Crown Commercial Service, an Executive Agency of the UK Government’s Cabinet Office, also underlined the importance of engaging with sustainable suppliers. This engagement not only showcases an organisation’s environmental commitment but also contributes to reducing its environmental footprint, promoting the use of ethically sourced materials, and enhancing operational efficiency.
