• Unboxing the role of sustainable logistics and renewable energy

• Climate transparency as a prerequisite for an environmentally clean company

• Incentivizing suppliers and partnering with third-party stakeholders

Morten Storgaard will share Novo Nordisk’s approach and methodologies of collaborating with suppliers to reduce CO2 emissions, with explicit focus on renewable power usage. Specifically, Morten will share some of the company’s policies and practices enabling its procurement divisions to:

• Embed renewable power as a sourcing criterion for choosing suppliers

• Prioritize selection of suppliers meeting the company’s requirements for renewable energy

• Convince the company’s existing suppliers to convert to renewable power

• How Signify approaches decarbonization from a value chain perspective
• How the company engages and works with suppliers to decarbonize
• How Signify helps customers reduce GHG emissions at the product use phase

Virginia Covo will present Eclipse, the company’s tactical platform for decarbonizing suppliers. Eclipse is ABInBev’s sustainability-dedicated collaboration platform developed for its network of suppliers and partners. It is designed to promote shared target-setting, standardized ways of measurement, sharing of best practices, and co-innovation. Covo will cover results of implementing this project and share some examples of how:

• Every 10% increment of recycled content can reduce emissions by 2%
• Reducing fertilizer usage on crops decreases carbon emissions in the supply chain
• Reducing water usage normally results in energy savings in manufacturing

Continental AG is a multinational automotive parts manufacturing company aiming for a 100% responsible value chain by 2050 at the latest. The company accounts for around 3.2 million metric tons of CO2 emissions generated by their production and purchase of electricity. These statistics have prompted their goal of achieving Scope 3 emission reduction by 30% by 2030.

Niklas Fastabend will present the initiative that trains and helps suppliers to establish and enhance their own environmental and energy management systems. He will also share the initiative’s progress and further goals.
