Goal:
We want to create transparency in our supply chains with regard to the CO₂ balance and systematically reduce CO₂ emissions in our upstream supply chains.
Fiscal year 2021
We expect our suppliers to act in an environmentally responsible and resource-conserving manner and we actively support them in these efforts. As part of our supplier sustainability assessments, suppliers will also be evaluated in the area of environmental protection in the future.
We want to create transparency in our supply chains with regard to the CO₂ balance and systematically reduce CO₂ emissions in our upstream supply chains.
As a basis for the well-founded derivation of further CO₂ reduction measures, we create transparency about the emissions of our supply chains. The special focus here is on emission category 3.1 “Purchased Goods and Services” in accordance with the GHG Protocol. To do this, we calculate the CO₂ emissions along the upstream supply chains, but also ask our suppliers to become active themselves, to systematically reduce the carbon footprint of their products and services, and make the emissions transparent for Körber AG. This is also enshrined in our General Purchasing Conditions. In the future, our suppliers will also be evaluated with regard to their environmental practices; this will be an important criterion for future orders. The evaluation is based on supplier self-assessments, supplier audits, and independent CSR ratings.
