How we guide suppliers to target Setting - 3 step approach

  1. Understand brand goals (e.g., Supplier Engagement Target: engage X% of suppliers to set SBTi targets by 2030).
  2. Identify supplier knowledge gaps (what’s missing to set credible targets—inventory methods, baselines, SBTi criteria, governance).
  3. Provide tailored training + hands‑on sessions + homework; we monitor progress, nudge actions, and escalate support until targets and plans are submitted.

4. Drive Real Reductions

We turn supplier plans into on‑site projects. Our team performs energy diagnosis and audits to understand the current state, then builds ROI‑backed roadmaps and helps unlock finance. Projects are delivered, tracked, and linked to real savings and carbon reductions—so progress is tangible and easy to explain.

✔ Energy diagnosis & actionable recommendations
✔ Green Financing guidance and due diligence
✔ Reduction tracking tied to savings

5. Disclose and Report with Confidence

Get reporting right—from data to disclosure. We guide suppliers to collect accurate environmental data, and apply rigorous verification so information is reliable, actionable, and decision-ready. We connect data from different sources so it serves multiple applications while your teams stay focused. This supports you to disclose with confidence with CDP and SBTi, and others.

✔ Supplier environmental data collection 
✔ Data validation
✔ Data integration across sources for multiple uses
✔  Gap analysis & guidance for CDP reporting to improve scores and/or SBTi progress monitoring
