Supply Chain Carbon Management

Objectives

b:ssec was contracted to provide a carbon reduction business case for Tate Galleries. A Carbon Management strategy was required including: Sector Positioning, Legislative Review, Operations Baseline, Initial Carbon Footprinting before finally presenting the business case. Tate’s carbon emissions from scope  I, II and III across their whole supply chain was examined. It was found that a radical and urgent programme was required to get Tate moving in the right direction.

Delivery

150 opportunities for reducing carbon emissions were established and grouped into five categories: Strategy and Policy,  Business Practices, Suppliers, Medium Investment and High Investment. The proposed business case was to be used in a strategic manner to aid Tate in making capital bids.

Results

Assessment of the opportunities identified that an 85% reduction in scope I and II carbon emissions and a 14% reduction in scope III carbon emissions could be achieved, equating to an overall 45% reduction. The associated financial saving was 17%, requiring a multi-million pound investment to reduce the carbon footprint.
