The bespoke resource hub for Churchill Group vendors is designed to support the measurement and reduction of supply chain emissions.
The initiative, which marks a significant step forward in Churchill Group’s mission to embed sustainability at the core of its operations and foster a collaborative approach to climate action, has been developed in partnership with sustainability consultancy Acclaro Advisory.
Churchill Group’s commitment to a more sustainable future is built on three core values: to always do right, always seek better, and always put people first. The company aims to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2040, while targeting to:
- Reduce direct emissions by 50.4 per cent by the 2032 financial year, from the 2022 financial year benchmark
- Increase the proportion of the supply chain with science-based emission reduction targets to 95.3 per cent (by emissions) by the 2027 financial year
These targets are independently validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). They are aligned with the 1.5°C pathway, a goal established by the Paris Agreement to mitigate the impact of climate change on ecosystems, communities, and global stability.
The free-to-access hub is tailored to supply chain partners and includes a Greenhouse Gas inventory calculator, a science-aligned target setting tool, step-by-step guidance and background materials. The hub was introduced through a series of live webinars offering practical insight on how to understand, measure and reduce carbon emissions.
Hannah Dales, Head of Environment at Churchill Group, said: “This is such an exciting project. We have a wonderful supply chain, and it’s fantastic to be able to collaborate with them on this important issue. By equipping our vendors with the tools and knowledge to take climate action, Churchill Group is building a culture of shared responsibility and progress. We can’t wait to get started.”
