To protect our earth and climate we need to live and produce in a climate-neutral way in the future. Political authorities have already defined clear goals. Legal requirements contribute to climate neutrality, but in most cases go far beyond this.<\/p>\n<p>In many countries, companies are already obliged to take <strong>environmental<\/strong> and <strong>social standards<\/strong> into account and to monitor compliance with them along their own supply chain. The European Union\u2019s<strong> Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive<\/strong> is due to come into force in 2024 and Canada is looking to follow.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"col-lg-6\"><p>Procurement, with its interface function to the supply chain, plays a central role in making the company sustainable and reducing its carbon footprint. The sustainability focus becomes a real value driver by boosting the organization\u2019s performance and improving the quality of its products. Furthermore, sustainable procurement can enhance a company&#8217;s innovation while at the same time reduce risks. For sustainable procurement transformation to succeed, you should rethink the topic: making more sustainable products at less cost and not focusing solely on the risks. Look for ways to make your products better and your processes more efficient.<\/p>\n<p>Our experts for sustainability and decarbonization will accompany you on this path using the approach set out below.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class='container  py-3'><div class=\"row \"><div class=\"col-lg-12\"><div id=\"how-we-support\" class=\"anchor\" data-name=\"How we support\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class='container  py-3'><div class=\"row \"><div class=\"col-lg-6\"><h2>Sustainability in procurement: This is how KGM Strategy supports<\/h2>\n<p>As leading experts in supply chain management and procurement, we at KGM Strategy offer to help your organization from a 360-degree sustainability perspective.

With our best-in-class approach, companies are able to identify, prioritize and implement measures in order to reduce their emissions. Our decarbonization approach includes four structured steps:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul class=\"checklist checklist-cols-2\">\n<li>Establish a Scope 3 carbon footprint baseline<\/li>\n<li>Deep dive in prioritized suppliers and categories<\/li>\n<li>Identify relevant decarbonization opportunities<\/li>\n<li>Prioritize the measures and develop the roadmap<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We help companies estimate their CO2 footprint on specific products and optimize these with a focus on decarbonization. We tear down products from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.KGM Strategy.com\/en\/industries\/retail-consulting\/\">retail industry<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.KGM Strategy.com\/en\/industries\/engineered-products-and-machinery\/\">industrial goods industries<\/a> to understand the material that has been used, the CO2 footprint per material, and how this can be optimized. We look at both material substitution and production when optimizing the product.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The time is now to take immediate actions to reduce carbon footprint in the supply chain. We can support you in finding your way to a carbon-free future.<\/p>\n\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                <\/div>\n
