Supply Chain Decarbonization

Supply Chain Decarbonization
Product Description

Most organisations face Scope 3 emissions as their largest decarbonization challenge. For many manufacturing, pharmaceutical, and chemical organisations, Scope 3 emissions can account for up to 90% of their total footprint, placing value-chain emissions under increasing regulatory and stakeholder scrutiny.

Progress is accelerating but consistently slowed by common organisational hurdles. Despite growing momentum, many organisations struggle with securing cross-business alignment, shifting from reporting to actual reductions, and scaling solutions across complex global supply chains.

ERM enables organisations to unlock value and accelerate meaningful reductions.ERM supports organisations in overcoming these barriers through deep technical expertise and supply chain experience, enabling rapid, measurable value creation while driving large-scale supplier decarbonization.
