Enhancing Sustainable Procurement to Target GHG Emissions in Supply Chains

Sustainable procurement is vital for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across supply chains. This report prioritizes engaging with key suppliers based on their contributions to the carbon footprint of BCC, emphasizing the importance of addressing emissions in sectors such as construction, banking, and waste disposal. Strategies for reducing procurement emissions include enhancing awareness, improving consumption efficiency, restructuring contracts, and substituting carbon-intensive materials with greener alternatives. Effective partnerships with suppliers and transparent communication will drive significant emission reductions.

  2. The full impact of an organisation includes emissions made by its supply chains. Supply chain emissions are now increasingly recognised as a crucial footprint component.

  3. Here is the priority list of suppliers to engage with, ranked in order of their likely individual contribution to BCC’s footprint. • Sita UK (Sewage & refuse disposal) • Bristol LEP Ltd (Banking & financing) • Rokbuild Ltd (Construction) • Bam Construction Ltd (Construction) • Cory Environmental Ltd (Sewage & refuse disposal) • Continental Landscapes Ltd (Agricultural products and services) • Wates Construction Ltd (Construction) • Bristol PFI Ltd (Banking & financing) • Aspects And Milestone Trust (Social work activities) • The Brandon Trust (Social work activities) • Bam Nuttall Ltd (Construction) • Birse Civils Ltd (Construction) • Blakedown Landscapes Ltd (Agricultural products and services) • First Somerset & Avon Ltd (Other land transport) • Carillion Highway Maintenance (Construction) • Bristol Schools Ltd (Banking & financing) • Flights Hallmark Ltd (Other land transport) • E R Hemmings (Building) Ltd (Construction) • Domestic Drain Services (Sewage & refuse disposal) • Connaught Partnerships Ltd (Construction)

  4. Procurement emissions can be reduced by… • 1. Reducing consumption • Awareness raising, leading by example and effecting behaviour change • Improving efficiency in specific areas of consumption • Restructuring contracts (e.g. favouring fixed price over time-and-costs where possible) to incentivise efficiency gains • 2. Substituting with less-carbon-intensive alternatives • Sending signals to the market about BCC’s commitment to reducing its supply chain carbon footprint (e.g. website, literature, posters, etc.) • Requesting carbon footprint information • Telling suppliers that will become an increasing focus area and that they will be expected to excel in both carbon data provision and emissions reduction • Providing suppliers with information on how to go about assessing their footprint, and likely hotspots in their supply chains • Introducing greenhouse reporting and reduction in tender requirements • Providing incentives for good performance, e.g. participation in publicity events, awards, etc. • Undertaking carbon reduction initiatives in partnership with suppliers
