SUSTAINABILITY

Reduce the carbon coming from procured goods and services

The goods and services bought by an organization have a significant impact on their Greenhouse Gas emissions. In a 2010 review of Greenhouse Gas emissions in the United Kingdom public sector (Central Government), 77% of GHG emissions in 2008 were Scope 3 emissions (CenSA, 2010), with the majority of those coming from the goods and services procured.

Reducing Scope 3 emissions will be essential for public sector organizations to reach their environmental impact reduction goals.

Detailed analysis of Scope 3 Greenhouse Gas emissions

Spikes Cavell has formed a strategic alliance with the University of Edinburgh and ENDS Carbon to produce the Carbon Monitor program – a suite of data-driven products that provide detailed analysis of Scope 3 Greenhouse Gas emissions in the supply chain that result from the goods and services procured.

CARBONMonitor₇₅ highlights categories and companies with the largest carbon footprint

Spikes Cavell's CARBONMonitor₇₅ is a data-driven, bottom-up analysis that highlights categories and companies with the largest carbon footprint within the supply chain.

The analysis is based on detailed spending data and provides a list of potential suppliers and categories that should be reviewed in more depth.

The outputs include measurement of Scope 3 emissions for the organization.
