THE PROCUREMENT INTERVIEW
“WE’ VE GOT SUSTAINABILITY GOALS AND COMMITMENTS TO THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE TO MAKE SURE WE CAUSE MINIMAL IMPACT”
Frank McKay, Chief Supply Chain and Procurement Officer, Jabil
Of course, truly understanding carbon footprints is a matter that extends deep into multi-tier supply networks – essential to customers pursuing ambitious targets.
“ We play a very active part in understanding not just the tier one supply chain, but tier two, tier three and beyond,” says Frank,“ and helping our customers get to their Scope 3 goals as well.”
Scope 3 emissions include all indirect emissions in a company’ s value chain, encompassing everything from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal.
These are often the most challenging to measure and reduce because they involve multiple parties, but Jabil’ s position in the supply chain makes it uniquely placed to provide relevant insight.
The company also pursues its own environmental commitments beyond what customers require or regulators mandate, as Frank explains:“ We’ ve got our own goals, as well as commitments to the communities we serve, to make sure we cause minimal impact from an environmental standpoint.”
Adding value Frank’ s priorities for the coming years centre on leveraging Jabil’ s supply chain capabilities in ways that create additional value.
The company already excels in this area based on demonstrated performance
