There is something to celebrate 🎉 Last Friday, we further advanced the collaboration between TfS - TOGETHER FOR SUSTAINABILITY AISBL and Siemens #SiGREEN!! 🧩🤝 We kicked off how we will jointly work together to bring PCF exchange to the chemical industry, by leveraging a combination of methodology, the TfS network and SiGREEN’s capabilities. It made us immensely proud to finalize the pilot phase in a workshop with the working group a couple weeks ago and to now also meet with members of the TfS steering committee – it was also great that @Judith Wiese and @Eva Riesenhuber had the chance to stop by. 🥂Cheers to a successful pilot and a promising future for collaborative secure PCF exchange in chemicals!

🌿 Decarbonising for a sustainable future: Together we can make a difference! 🌍 This recent CHEManager International article (interview with Dr. Verena Buback, Co-Chair of the TfS Scope 3 GHG emissions programme) focuses on the critical need to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions throughout the supply chain. It resonates with the work we're doing at TfS - TOGETHER FOR SUSTAINABILITY AISBL, where we're pioneering efforts to tackle Scope 3 emissions collaboratively. At TfS, our Scope 3 GHG emissions reduction programme is built on robust frameworks and innovative solutions: 📊 PCF Guideline: We have developed a comprehensive Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Guideline that standardises the calculation of emissions across the industry. This is a vital step towards achieving transparency and consistency in GHG reporting. 💡 PCF Data Exchange solution: We are leveraging Siemens' SiGreen technology to facilitate the exchange of PCF data with suppliers and customers. This solution not only reduces manual efforts but also ensures accurate tracking of emissions data. 🔗 Collaboration is Key: As the article emphasizes, reducing emissions beyond a company’s direct control requires strong partnerships with suppliers and industry peers. Through TfS, we foster a collaborative environment where shared knowledge and resources lead to impactful solutions. 🛠️ Training and enablement: With platforms like the TfS Academy https://lnkd.in/dAKednfM, we provide suppliers with free access to a wide range of sustainability training programmes. These resources are crucial for building the necessary expertise to drive decarbonisation efforts effectively. Our journey towards a greener future is a collective one. The challenges we face are common across companies and industries, but by working together, we can achieve faster and more significant results. 💬 Join us in our mission: Engage with TfS and explore how you can contribute to reducing supply chain emissions. Let's collaborate to make our supply chains not only efficient but also sustainable. 🌐 https://lnkd.in/eYT3nW_z https://lnkd.in/dYpKKk9Y #Sustainability #Decarbonisation #SupplyChain #GHGEmissions #Collaboration #Innovation #PCF
#CMI0224: #Markets & #Companies #Decarbonizing for a Sustainable Future: A Collaborative Effort to Reduce Emissions along the Supply Chain Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the supply chain lies outside of a company’s direct control, so collaboration with suppliers and partners in the supply chain is key. Yet, challenges to reduce such emissions are still abundant. The good news is that the challenges are predominantly the same across companies and industries and collaborating with peers allows for a faster and more effective adoption of solutions. Most companies still face significant awareness and knowledge gaps within their own company. It is thus not surprising to encounter similar situations when talking to suppliers and partner companies. Required technical understanding, such as GHG accounting methodologies as well as insights into available effective measures to reduce #emissions in the supply chain, is not thoroughly in place within companies across the supply chain. Closing those expertise gaps requires organizations to invest time and resources in skilling-up. Clear guidance from the top management is a prerequisite to drive the necessary changes within each company. To effectively drive emission reduction, access to reliable emission data along the value chain is essential. Lacking standardized formats for GHG calculation and reporting, as well as the absence of automated tools for gathering and sharing emission data currently still prevents emission transparency across the supply chain. Resulting unharmonized data requests from multiple customers are often overwhelming for suppliers. By playing an active role in several industry initiatives, such as TfS - TOGETHER FOR SUSTAINABILITY AISBL (TfS), PSCI - Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Initiative (PSCI), Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI), or The Sustainable Procurement Pledge (SPP) — just to mention a few — Merck Gruppe aims to address the outlined common challenges by joining forces with our peers, creating impactful solutions and enablement for our suppliers, our customers and ourselves. Some examples: Through PSCI and the TfS Academy our suppliers have access to a broad range of sustainability trainings and exchange with others free of charge. Specific and detailed training curricula on decarbonization for beginners up to mature companies have been added in the past years to the long-time existing training offering. (...)

It was an honour to represent TfS - TOGETHER FOR SUSTAINABILITY AISBL and Henkel as a keynote speaker at the Asia Decarbonization Summit in Singapore last week. TfS - TOGETHER FOR SUSTAINABILITY AISBL is driving industry standards for decarbonisation within the chemical industry. Standardised measurement, data-exchange, and collaboration are key elements of the TfS Scope 3 GHG emissions program. https://lnkd.in/g5MaD_Vc Henkel as one of the founding members of TfS - TOGETHER FOR SUSTAINABILITY AISBL has a strong commitment to leadership in sustainability and one key element is addressing Scope 3 emissions. Henkel Climate Connect involves strong collaboration with our supply base to measure, manage and reduce CO2 emissions supported by continuous training and upskilling. https://lnkd.in/gppGudmv Clear call for action from all the speakers at the summit to address the significant Scope 3 emissions across every industry. Scope 3 emission reduction is a journey and requires full partnership and collaboration across the complete value chain. 🌍 🌿 Gabriele Unger Maria De Rycke Cheryl Ang Jeanie T. Canan Aktas
