Supply Base Collaboration Programs

With extended global supply-chains representing up to 80% of a brand’s environmental impacts and risk, there has never been a more critical time for organizations to both collaborate with and strengthen their supply base relationships. And yet, faced with thousands of suppliers across different categories and geographies, this has never been more challenging.

Our 2degrees supply-base programs enable global corporations to bring thousands of their supplier companies,

large and small, together to unlock shared value and expertise, facilitate group procurement of solutions, and then track and measure outcomes. The result is €millions of savings gained from reductions in waste, water and energy and the creation of a more transparent and secure client supply base.

Working with clients such as Asda-Walmart, Tesco and GSK, our programs are driving forward efficiencies and reducing impacts whilst also helping develop world class supply bases.

Part of the job of a great trader is to build a great supply base. The way you build a great supply base is to make sure they are efficient and sustainable.

I can contact my opposites in big companies. There are now no inter-silos saying – ‘can’t tell you this, can’t tell you that’. It’s gone. We are sharing with Greencore and Arla Foods to discuss LED lighting and centrifugal technology for separating water. I would never have done this without this exchange. It’s a phenomenal tool.
