Last week Chief Procurement Officers and Sustainability Leaders got together at the #WürzburgerSustainabilityDays organized by the team of Ronald Bogaschewsky. It was a pleasure to participate and share best practices and challenges around ESG, CSRD, Scope 3, CBAM and Decarbonization. Here are some highlights: 💡 Insights from voestalpine CPO Josef Lamplmayr from a steel producer perspective: there are massive investments in green technology 💡Evonik´s CPO Dr. Götz Lauschke talking about the importance of the carbon footprint for suppliers 💡Group Discussion from Miele´s CPO Hans Krug with Körber COO Michael Stietz and Speira´s CPO Peter Koehne regarding the focus of sustainability. Nothing is possible without Carbon Management. Purchasing and producing needs to be carbon-reduced in order to sell with the new carbon-reduced USP 💡 Anita Panov presented the already achieved Scope 3 results including a high share in activity-based supplier carbon footprint data of Schaeffler. She also highlighted the importance of supplier specific data collection at scale. All participants had a great opportunity to chat with the experts and benefit for their businesses with a joined mission: Let´s decarbonize together!

Excited to share a significant milestone in my professional journey! 📈 Over the past few months, I had the invaluable opportunity to contribute in a pivotal project aimed at refining Murata Finland's supplier scorecard. Recognizing the growing importance of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) metrics, we embarked on a mission to modernize their evaluation framework. One of my key contributions was designing the new supplier scorecard and a comprehensive ESG self-assessment template tailored for their suppliers. This template serves as a structured yet flexible tool, enabling suppliers to transparently showcase their sustainability initiatives and practices. The insights gathered through this self-assessment are instrumental in enhancing the 'Business Sustainability' performance area of the supplier scorecard and in recognising suppliers’ alignment with Murata Finland’s CSR objectives. By integrating ESG performance measures into the supplier evaluation process, MFI is not only fostering a culture of responsible business practices but also forging stronger, more resilient partnerships with their suppliers. I am incredibly proud to have worked with and been a part of a team that prioritizes sustainability and values-driven decision-making. A big thank you to everyone involved in this transformative project. Here's to driving positive change and setting new benchmarks for excellence in supplier management! 🌱 #CSR #ESG #SupplierScorecard #Sustainability #Innovation

🎙 "In the automotive industry, the circular economy is about coordinating the work of many stakeholders towards a common goal. No one can do it alone. That is why we have created this unique model, THE FUTURE IS NEUTRAL, a company that attracts and coordinates complementary skills for the benefit of our industry players. We believe this is an efficient way to bring competitive solutions to the EU automotive industry." said our CEO, Jean-Philippe B., who took part in a round table on the circular economy at the Automotive News Europe 2024 Congress. In a context of strong competition from different regions, it was a great opportunity to reiterate our ambition to unite automotive stakeholders around a European circular economy offer that needs to be scaled up to meet the industry's resource needs. As we continue our journey towards a more sustainable, resource-efficient future for the automotive industry, we invite you to join us. Together, let's contribute to Europe's growth in the circular economy. #TheFutureIsNeutral #CircularEconomy #ANECongress

Working in Collaboration to Achieve Environmental Goals After years of international pressure, the automotive industry is starting to make greater steps in setting and achieving environmental goals--particularly around lowering carbon emissions across the supply chain. Though many suppliers have established their own sustainability plans over the years, the industry now recognizes that collaboration is essential in order to make meaningful progress and change. Together, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers are joining forces and committing to sustainability agreements which not only will help lower our carbon footprint, but create better environments for people and communities. Henkel is no exception and has recently signed a sustainability agreement with a major North American OEM. These sustainability agreements will see the industry push further than ever before in addressing the issue of climate change and being better leaders in business and our communities. #CircularEconomy #Recycling #Sustainability #Sustainability https://lnkd.in/gM_xZMFz
