The Green Supply Chain: Embedding Carbon Reduction Goals into Sourcing and Procurement Decisions
11 Sep (Fri) Day 2 : 10:15 – 11:05
With increasing awareness on the reduction of Scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions, and business demands for decarbonised products, procurement plays a vital role in contributing to carbon reduction through embedding carbon reduction goals into sourcing and procurement decisions. This panel explores strategies for embedding carbon-reduction criteria into supplier selection, contracts, KPIs, and cost models. Speakers will share their experience in measuring and reducing carbon emissions across multi-tier networks, balancing carbon reduction targets with cost and delivery performance, and engaging suppliers to build low-carbon supply chains.
Session Learnings:
- How to incorporate carbon reduction targets into supplier evaluation, contracts, and scorecards without eroding competitiveness
- Approaches to measure and manage Scope 3 emissions in complex supply networks
- Strategies to balance carbon reduction goals with traditional procurement priorities such as cost, quality, and lead time
- Engaging and supporting multi-tier suppliers in decarbonization efforts
- Experience sharing on practical applications.
