Our client is a global leader in oxo chemicals with operations in Europe, Americas and Asia.

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
