Haleon’s program to meet supply chain emissions targets and the importance of supplier-built PCFs
For most sustainability and procurement teams, Scope 3 is a big challenge. But with the right tools and knowledge, reducing supplier emissions can be an opportunity. Here’s how Haleon is meeting its supply chain carbon targets.
In the race against climate change, Haleon is stepping up with ambitious goals to reduce its carbon footprint. By 2030, the global consumer goods company is committed to cutting Scope 3 source to sale emissions by 42%, a target endorsed by the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi).
Looking further ahead, Haleon is aiming to achieve net zero carbon emissions from source to sale by 2040, aligned to guidance from United Nations’ Race to Zero and The Climate Pledge.1
But achieving these goals isn’t simple. Around two-thirds of Haleon’s carbon emissions come from its suppliers, making supply chain decarbonization a critical challenge.
“We are in a hot seat as far as our actions are concerned and how we drive that across the supply chain,” said Chris Low, Head of Procurement Sustainability & Packaging at Haleon. “Our carbon hotspots are in direct procurement – raw materials, ingredients, and packaging.”
Recognizing the urgency, Haleon has identified a key selection of suppliers to engage in its Sustainable Supply Chain Program. As part of the program Haleon has been piloting M2030's new Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) solution to support suppliers in baselining their emissions and informing action to cut carbon from products.
In this conversation, Martin Chilcott, Founder of M2030, sits down with Chris to discuss the program, the role of PCFs, and how Haleon is empowering and incentivizing suppliers to cut carbon.
