Case Study: a global US-based clothing company cuts carbon emissions with BearingPoint’s Emissions Calculator

a global us-based clothing company cuts carbon emissions by 50% with BearingPoint

A global US-based clothing company sought to grow its business while simultaneously making significant cuts to its carbon footprint. Their outdated, manual system for calculating emissions was fragmented and produced data with a three-month delay, which was insufficient for meeting ambitious sustainability targets and new regulations. To address this challenge, they partnered with BearingPoint to implement its Emissions Calculator (BEC) solution.

BearingPoint cleaned the company's master data and implemented its Emissions Calculator, creating over 100 business rules to accurately map emissions from all international transportation and warehousing. The solution provides comprehensive, timely results directly from transactional data, empowering the company to optimize its logistics and processes. As a result, the company is now equipped to successfully reduce its carbon footprint by half while expanding operations, and has boosted transparency and innovated its product lineup.
