Start Date: 30th September 2024

Project Overview

Reducing and mitigating supply chain emissions presents a significant challenge for companies striving to meet net-zero targets. These emissions, also known as Scope 3 emissions, often constitute the bulk of a company's carbon footprint and are predominantly beyond direct control. A CDP report highlights that supply chain emissions are, on average, 11.4 times higher than operational emissions, emphasising the urgent need for effective strategies to address these emissions. This PhD project explores the overarching question: "How can companies effectively reduce Scope 3 supply chain emissions through empirical strategies, enhanced collaboration, and increased transparency to achieve net-zero targets?" The primary goal of the research is to develop and validate data-driven strategies for mitigating supply chain emissions, fostering collaboration and transparency among supply chain partners, and enabling evidence-based decision-making to support companies in their pursuit of net-zero supply chain emissions.

The expected outcomes of this research include empirically validated strategies and detailed mitigation plans that companies can adopt to reduce their supply chain emissions. Additionally, the project aims to develop a framework for enhancing collaboration and transparency among supply chain partners, which is crucial for effective emissions management. The research will also produce evidence-based tools and guidelines to aid sustainable supply chain management decision-making. Furthermore, a comprehensive sourcing strategy specifically focused on achieving net-zero emissions will be formulated. These outcomes will provide actionable insights for companies and contribute significantly to the academic body of knowledge on sustainable supply chain management.
