Engaging Supply Chain on Science Based Carbon Reduction Targets

This contractor has made a significant commitment to sustainability by taking the crucial step towards a low-carbon economy and signing up to the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi). The business is only the second UK construction company to have targets approved by the SBTi and officially aligned with global demands to tackle climate change.

Part of this commitment is to engage with their supply chain in setting a similar level of ambition for their own operations, whereby, “key suppliers representing 95% of emissions from purchased goods will set a science-based emission reduction target by 2023.”

This engagement has come in several forms including hosting supply chain events, B2B meetings and external communications. Importantly, their supply chain are getting a consistent message from all levels of the business (as well as from other contractors that have set a science-based target) in order to demonstrate the demand for carbon reduction targets that are aligned with the latest climate science.

Performance against this target is measured on a monthly basis on each project and reported within their internal digital dashboards that are available across the company.
