Low carbon procurement

The supply chain revolution

Procurement accounts for the largest share of an organisation’s carbon footprint. Managing carbon has therefore become a major issue for buying organisations and suppliers. To implement this necessary decarbonisation of organisations and their often complex supply chains, understanding both procurement mechanisms and decarbonisation mechanisms is essential.

The Asea team, made up of multi-skilled experts (Climate, Environmental Management, Procurement and Supplier Relationships), is particularly active on this topic. It has made an active contribution to the drafting of future questions linked to decarbonisation of procurement in the RFAR label and regularly takes part in plenary sessions on these subjects. Asea is also currently piloting in France an innovative tool called the “CO2 Performance Ladder“, initiated in the Netherlands. Based on a procurement mechanism, this CO2 Performance Ladder has shown that it stimulates the decarbonisation of suppliers twice as fast as usual.
