Case Study: Willmott Dixon improves supply chain carbon measurement with Action Sustainability's Carbon Calculator

Willmott Dixon engages supply chain with the carbon calculator

The customer, Willmott Dixon, a construction firm, was motivated by its 'Now or Never' sustainability strategy which included a target for its supply chain to be net zero by 2040. The challenge was the historical difficulty in accessing consistent carbon emissions data from its numerous suppliers. To address this, the company turned to vendor Action Sustainability and implemented their Carbon Calculator service.

Action Sustainability's solution provided a single, accessible tool that made it easy for Willmott Dixon's supply chain to report their data. This enabled the customer to measure its Scope 3 emissions, analyze supplier performance, and identify key areas for carbon reduction initiatives. The vendor helped achieve a high response rate from suppliers through targeted promotion and by demonstrating the tool's benefits. As a result, Willmott Dixon gained the insights needed to strategically focus its engagement and collaboration efforts with suppliers to drive progress toward its net zero goal.
