Atlanta, GA (January 12, 2021) – Chainalytics, a recognized global leader in data-driven supply chain consulting, announced today that it has received the 2020 Green Supply Chain Award from Supply & Demand Chain Executive. The award recognizes the company’s innovative transportation procurement work for one of the world’s leading coffee manufacturers and retailers.
On a journey to significantly reduce its carbon emissions, the organization realized that, while they could not directly control their carriers’ operations, they did have control over which carriers they used. With the help of Chainalytics, the coffee giant incorporated carbon emissions into its decision support framework for truckload procurement.
“The new framework allowed the client to reduce its U.S. truckload carbon emissions by 19%, while also lowering its contract rates,” explained Rob Achtzehn, a Sr. Manager in Chainalytics’ Transportation consulting practice.
The project, and the company’s’ ongoing efforts, are preventing the emission of 20,170 metric tons of carbon dioxide – that’s 44.4 million pounds of greenhouse gases that would otherwise be contributing to climate change – every year.
Supply and Demand Chain Executive’s Green Supply Chain Award recognizes companies making sustainability a core part of their supply chain strategy and are working to achieve measurable sustainability goals within their operations and end-to-end supply chains. The award also recognizes supply chain solutions and service providers assisting their customers in such goals.
“This year’s 13th-annual award recognizes enterprises that leveraged green practices and solutions to drive sustainable improvements in their supply chain,” says Marina Mayer, editor-in-chief of Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Food Logistics. “From software solutions to transportation management systems to several other initiatives designed to reduce carbon footprint and improve the re-use of materials, sustainability continues to rank as a key component to a stronger, safer and more efficient supply chain.”
