Business Challenge
To become a climate-neutral company by 2050 or even earlier, as stated by CEO Borgmeier, the company will boost its sustainability strategy by defining and implementing a very structured and clear roadmap to reduce its GHG emissions over the coming years.
Approach
EFESO supported in:
- Interviews with leadership, experts, plant engineers and operators to understand their attitude towards the GHG reduction program
- Analyze why the old approach hasn’t delivered the expected results
- Facilitate:
- an inspiration workshop with a competitor’s approach
- a process awareness session with senior management on the Value Chain from Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions
- Ambition and action workshop about senior management’s ambitions to the GHG reduction program
- Co-create “Sustainable Chemicals” progression roadmap
- Set-up a pragmatic governance, supported by an adapted business case and project allocation process
- Integrate GHG reduction program into the overall Project Management Office
- Integrate business plans outcomes of the different departments
- Support Breakthrough and Innovation workstream to set-up and adapted innovation process
- Closely work with the sustainability manager to make ‘reduce’ contribute to the overall sustainability strategy
