  2. The full impact of an organisation includes emissions made by its supply chains. Supply chain emissions are now increasingly recognised as a crucial footprint component.

  3. Here is the priority list of suppliers to engage with, ranked in order of their likely individual contribution to BCC’s footprint. • Sita UK (Sewage & refuse disposal) • Bristol LEP Ltd (Banking & financing) • Rokbuild Ltd (Construction) • Bam Construction Ltd (Construction) • Cory Environmental Ltd (Sewage & refuse disposal) • Continental Landscapes Ltd (Agricultural products and services) • Wates Construction Ltd (Construction) • Bristol PFI Ltd (Banking & financing) • Aspects And Milestone Trust (Social work activities) • The Brandon Trust (Social work activities) • Bam Nuttall Ltd (Construction) • Birse Civils Ltd (Construction) • Blakedown Landscapes Ltd (Agricultural products and services) • First Somerset & Avon Ltd (Other land transport) • Carillion Highway Maintenance (Construction) • Bristol Schools Ltd (Banking & financing) • Flights Hallmark Ltd (Other land transport) • E R Hemmings (Building) Ltd (Construction) • Domestic Drain Services (Sewage & refuse disposal) • Connaught Partnerships Ltd (Construction)

  4. Procurement emissions can be reduced by… • 1. Reducing consumption • Awareness raising, leading by example and effecting behaviour change • Improving efficiency in specific areas of consumption • Restructuring contracts (e.g. favouring fixed price over time-and-costs where possible) to incentivise efficiency gains • 2. Substituting with less-carbon-intensive alternatives • Sending signals to the market about BCC’s commitment to reducing its supply chain carbon footprint (e.g. website, literature, posters, etc.) • Requesting carbon footprint information • Telling suppliers that will become an increasing focus area and that they will be expected to excel in both carbon data provision and emissions reduction • Providing suppliers with information on how to go about assessing their footprint, and likely hotspots in their supply chains • Introducing greenhouse reporting and reduction in tender requirements • Providing incentives for good performance, e.g. participation in publicity events, awards, etc. • Undertaking carbon reduction initiatives in partnership with suppliers
