Pure Strategies, a sustainability consulting firm working with brands and retailers to realize meaningful environmental and social improvement, has officially announced the launch of a new platform called Pure Supply, which will provide you with a way to engage educate, and execute solutions in your supply chain. This it will do to help suppliers access clear information, guidance, and support for reaching renewable energy and climate targets. Talk about the whole value proposition on a slightly deeper level, the all-new Pure Supply platform comes decked up with an online mechanism dedicated towards achieving greater automation, as well as scalability. Next up, we must get into how the new solution will help you enjoy multiple-stage program, something which is going to tread a long distance in the context of supporting and recognizing a supplier journey. Moving on, there is also a library in play that packs together several educational resources for each stage of supplier progress, thus ensuring that all decisions taken here are as informed as possible. Joining the same would be expert advisory support. The stated support will again bear the responsibility to ensure optimal supplier progress. In case that wasn’t enough, then users of Pure Supply platform can further come expecting standardized and streamlined assessments. Not just that, they can markedly avail the same alongside a straightforward mechanism meant for data collection. Among other details, we must acknowledge how the solution in question makes it possible for you to enhance operations through customizable progress dashboards that can track supplier performance at every possible touchpoint. Rounding up highlights would be the platform’s knowhow when it comes to managing multiple sustainability programs/issues.
At launch, the Pure Supply platform offers two separate modules for supplier programs, with more set to hit the deck at some point down the line. The first module here enables you to set /progress on science-based targets (SBTs) for climate; whereas the second platform helps you transition to using renewable energy.
“Suppliers are critical partners in advancing corporate sustainability programs. However, companies often have a supplier base with different levels of resources and progress,” said Tim Greiner, Co-founder and Managing Director of Pure Strategies. “As a result, coordinating a program that effectively engages multiple suppliers can be a lot of effort. Our new Pure Supply platform helps companies to manage their supply chain impacts by empowering suppliers with clear information, guidance, and support. Pure Supply helps companies to connect directly with their suppliers and communicate expectations, build capacity, collect data, and advance in critical sustainability goals.”
To understand the significance of such a development, we must acknowledge that supply chains represent the majority of impact for most businesses, meaning companies actually need their suppliers to make progress, if they are to meet their own sustainability commitments. Having said that, according to data published by Sustainalytics, sectors with complex supply chains such as food, apparel, and manufacturing continue to have significant upstream greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In fact, across the food sector, farm and land-related emissions can range from 60 to 90 percent of total Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.
Founded back in 1998, Pure Strategies’ rise up the ranks stems from its ability to initiate and enhance existing sustainability programs, something it does by setting meaningful sustainability goals, devising effective management strategies. On top of that, it does the same by making changes to products and supply chains, changes that are capable of delivering value at the disposal of businesses and society. The company’s excellence in what it does can also be understood once you consider it serves, at present, the likes of Walmart, Ahold Delhaize USA, Seventh Generation, TAZO, Timberland, Everlane, MegaFood, Ben & Jerry’s, and over 100 other customers.
