SUSTAINABILITY
“ You ’ re talking about understanding the carbon footprint of potentially hundreds of suppliers , and all the components of the supply chain that links you to them ,” says Levent Ergin , Global Chief ESG Sustainability Strategist at Informatica .
He adds : “ Maintaining an accurate picture of an organisation ’ s carbon footprint is challenging enough – staying on top of that information for your whole procurement ecosystem is exponentially more so .”
Companies who are serious about reaching their net zero targets must understand the critical role that the procurement function plays in reducing carbon emissions . “ Decarbonisation must start in the supply chain first , and chief procurement officers have a huge role to play ,” Ergin adds .
