easy analysis, and up to three products can be compared side by side so the carbon savings can be cross referenced to easily pull out the product with the lightest footprint.
We designed a sustainable customer retention programme in which we plant trees and offset carbon linked to sustainable purchasing to help improve purchasing behaviour. No investment is made if customers buy non-sustainable products but as they move to a 1-leaf product, we offset carbon and plant trees, we then double that if they move to a 2-leaf product and double it again when they move to a 3-leaf product. This encourages better purchasing behaviour and offsets and reduces their carbon footprint.
All our key sustainable metrics and rewards are included in a free monthly visual ESG report that can be run in full by the business, region or individual client site, allowing customers to measure, analyse and reduce their environmental impact. The visual reporting makes it easy to send to clients every month and engage with them on the product range you are using and how that is having a direct impact on reducing their carbon footprint.
With more than two years in planning and building, our system is designed to deliver the essential environmental information FM companies and their customers need. We can service our customer base with the full metrics covering the below key areas and we display this in three simple categories, last month, YTD and Lifetime figures.
• Breakdown of products bought in the three transparent sustainable leaf categories.
• Scope 4 carbon savings by CO2 KGs based on actual product purchasing activity.
• Full breakdown of origin of manufacture of all product purchases by UK, Europe and Rest of World.
• Single-use plastic savings by KGs on products.
• Trees planted on customer behalf when they buy sustainably.
• Carbon offset on customer behalf measured in metric tonnes when they buy sustainably.
• Last 4 carbon offset projects invested in on customer behalf.
• Percentage of living wage paid across the extended manufacturing supply chain.
We have already had a significant impact on behalf of our customers within the first year: -
• Planted over 6000 trees through Ecologi linked to sustainable purchasing.
• Achieved Scope 4 savings of over 140,000kgs of CO2 by sustainable purchasing.
• Offsetting over 300 metric tonnes of CO2 through VCS & Gold standard certified programmes.
So, does the FM industry need a fully transparent sustainable supply chain? It does if they want to combat greenwashing by comparing all products on a level playing field and combining that information with full life cycle assessments and carbon footprints. It does if they want to be empowered to make more informed decisions and create Scope 4 savings and reduce their carbon footprint, and it does if they want to separate themselves out from the competition and retain and win new business on their sustainable credentials.
