Supply Chain & Procurement
There is more to reducing your own carbon footprint than looking inwards at your own processes, buildings and staff.
Companies need to look outwards as well; by this we mean your supply chain.

Your company may have great environmental policies and then purchase goods or services from the most polluting manufacturers without knowing.

The Energy Practice actively encourages companies to assess the green credentials of all its supply chain and we see this as an important part of the services we provide.

We work closely with specialist purchasing and auditing companies who bring added value to purchasing and accounting systems by identifying cost savings in company processes and buying. We use their collected data to analyze your suppliers and reduce carbon emissions.

We can bring tangible benefits to your procurement procedures and ensure your suppliers have the greenest credentials.
How many tiers we analyze down the supply chain can only be determined on a company-by-company basis.

In the near future The Energy Practice will be launching the
Carbon-Chain . A process designed to lighten the load of individual companies pursuit of a green supply chain and better able to reach deeper into the supply chain to some of the most hidden and poorest performing factories throughout the world.
