Supply Chain Sustainability Powered by Data: Harnessing Technology to Generate Actionable Insights

Introduction

In recent years, the conversation surrounding sustainability and the transition to Net Zero has gained significant traction. Business leaders, sustainability professionals, and organizations are grappling with the challenges of reducing carbon footprints and managing residual emissions. As the Chief Growth Officer at [Company Name], Nick Alexander, elaborates, the essence lies in leveraging technology to make impactful climate action not just feasible but efficient and transparent.

Introducing PHO

PHO's mission is to scale effective climate action globally. The team has developed an innovative platform that allows businesses to offset every residual emission seamlessly. This streamlined, traceable, and transparent platform aims to facilitate companies' Net Zero commitments, thus enabling them to avoid falling behind competitors.

Incorporating carbon credits into business practices is no longer just an option; it has become a business imperative. Recent statistics reveal that approximately 66% of the revenue from Fortune 500 companies is now covered by a Net Zero target. Research shows that companies using carbon credits decarbonize twice as fast compared to those that do not.

Despite growing pressure to engage with carbon markets, many companies struggle with the complexities involved, such as intermediaries, opaque trading practices, and burdensome onboarding with registries. PHO recognizes these barriers and has worked to create a more accessible carbon market for businesses of all sizes.
