Supply chain engagement
Achilles will drive supplier engagement on carbon measurement and reduction on behalf of an organisation.
Achilles has proven success in establishing a collaborative community for buying organisations to share supplier best practices and in engaging with suppliers to encourage a focus on carbon measurement and reduction.
The objective of the supplier engagement is to:
- Collate data on suppliers' actions on carbon measurement and reductions
- Independently verify tonnes of CO2 equivalent emitted by key suppliers; and
- Focus suppliers on efficiency gains and emissions reduction.
The programme is structured to maximise the benefits of collaboration between an organisation and its suppliers by providing a consistent methodology to carbon measurement and facilitating sharing of best practices and benchmarking.
Both the buying organisations and suppliers benefit from the engagement.
Benefits to Buyers
- Align suppliers with you carbon reduction strategy;
- Gain visibility of carbon related supply chain risk;

Benefits to Suppliers

HgCapital are participating in the programme to establish the carbon footprint of their group of portfolio companies. Once the baseline is established the focus will be on driving a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and realising the efficiency savings associated with these reductions.
