Supply Chain Decarbonisation

Decarbonisation demands more than just reporting and offsetting. It requires rewiring how you source, design, produce, move, and recover value, and it won’t stick unless it’s backed by culture and capital. The real levers sit across multiple functions: procurement, logistics, operations, product, finance, and infrastructure. But none of it moves unless the people behind them are aligned and empowered.

Our Supply Chain Decarbonisation offer helps you build a structured roadmap and implement it across the full chain.

We go from diagnostic to delivery, embedding circularity as a core solution, not a side initiative, and ensuring that both investment logic and team behaviour support the carbon decisions you need to make.

Core challenges faced by organisations today

No Carbon Execution Plan
Ambitions exist, but no unified roadmap connects emissions to business decisions.

Siloed Targets and Fragmented Delivery
Procurement, design, and ops work in isolation, each solving a different version of the problem.

Scope 3 Blind Spots
Most emissions are upstream or downstream, where companies have the least control and the weakest data.

One-Off Pilots, No Scale
Reuse schemes, low-carbon packaging, or take-backs exist as isolated trials, are rarely embedded or scaled.

Lack of Ownership and Incentives
No one function truly owns delivery, and business cases rarely survive finance gatekeeping.

What would help

End-to-End Carbon Roadmapping
Map emissions and intervention levers across all stages of your value chain, from materials to end-of-life.

Circularity as a Lever, Not a Label
Integrate reuse, recovery, and by-product flows into core sourcing, design, and logistics and not just waste.

Cross-Functional Design and Delivery
Enable procurement, ops, design, and finance to make aligned decisions, backed by carbon data and incentives.

Governance and Funding Integration
Make carbon a business metric linked to budgets, targets, and decision-making frameworks.

Behaviour and Capability Enablement
Build the mindset, skills, and ownership needed across teams to deliver decarbonisation and not just plan for it.
