Having a carbon simulator for procurement means having a carbon footprint per product.
To achieve this objective, 3 steps are recommended:
The Procurement Carbon Footprint Simulator serves as a decision-making tool, focusing on gathering activity data (e.g., kg, km, kWh) for the key carbon drivers during significant phases of the product life cycle, such as raw materials, production, transport, and packaging. The resulting CO2 emission value is determined using an internal price per tonne of carbon chosen by the company.
This simulator aids the company in making informed sourcing decisions, emphasizing the optimisation of the carbon impact-to-cost ratio as a criterion for reorienting the sourcing strategy. For instance, the buyer may need to consider various options, such as choosing recycled packaging over cardboard packaging or selecting a supplier closer to the factory with road freight versus a supplier farther away but reachable via railway.
more than 80%
of the environmental impact comes from the supply chain in many industries.
