Empowering Suppliers to Advance Sustainability
Because supply chains represent the majority of impact for most businesses, companies need their suppliers to effectively make progress to meet their sustainability commitments. From a climate perspective, sectors with complex supply chains such as food, apparel, and manufacturing have significant upstream greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In the food sector, farm and land-related emissions can range from 60 to 90 percent of total Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, according to Sustainalytics.
“Suppliers are critical partners in advancing corporate sustainability programs. However, companies often have a supplier base with different levels of resources and progress,” notes Tim Greiner, Pure Strategies Co-founder and Managing Director. “As a result, coordinating a program that effectively engages multiple suppliers can be a lot of effort. Our new Pure Supply platform helps companies to manage their supply chain impacts by empowering suppliers with clear information, guidance, and support. Pure Supply helps companies to connect directly with their suppliers and communicate expectations, build capacity, collect data, and advance in critical sustainability goals.”
