After completing an initial training course with Carbone 4 on the topic ofcarbon footprint In 2024, Guerbet once again turned to the Academy to help its teams build their expertise in decarbonizing their procurement.
Since responsible procurement is a significant challenge and accounts for a large portion of the company’s Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions, pressure from both internal sources (the Board of Directors) and external sources (customers) has prompted Guerbet to undergo training on this key topic.
Several obstacles were identified prior to the training: unclear individual action plans, implementation challenges, a lack of understanding of certain suppliers’ positions, and economic challenges related to decarbonization.
Guerbet’s stated need was therefore to strengthen the skills of its procurement teams in order to:
- To ensure a consistent level of understanding regarding the concept of the carbon footprint and the decarbonization of procurement;
- Strengthen the decarbonization of procurement as a key driver of performance and resilience;
- Strengthen its responsible procurement strategy and fully integrate decarbonization.
