Achilles Information Limited – Team APAC
The Achilles Carbon solution suite supports businesses in moving beyond basic tracking toward verified, ISOaligned carbon reporting. By quantifying emissions at the source level, buyers can evaluate carbon intensity alongside cost and operational performance. This approach helps identify practical decarbonisation opportunities across the supply chain. With structured data, ongoing progress monitoring and expert guidance, sustainability becomes a strategic consideration within day-to-day procurement, not an added burden.
Q. WHAT STANDARDISATION EFFORTS ARE UNDERWAY TO HARMONISE SUSTAINABILITY METRICS IN PROCUREMENT SYSTEMS?

» Standardisation is advancing through global frameworks and sector collaboration. Achilles aligns with protocols such as the GHG Protocol, CDP and ISO standards to ensure ESG metrics are consistent and comparable. We also support industry-led initiatives to tailor sustainability criteria to sectorspecific risks, enabling more coherent and scalable implementation across global procurement systems.
