Net Zero Carbon Supplier Tool
NTU have committed to be Net Zero by 2040 (including our supply chains). As part of this challenge, we’re proud to have developed the Net Zero Carbon Supplier Tool which focusses on reducing supply chain carbon emissions (within the university sector).
The tool allows us to capture better supply chain (scope 3) emissions data, AND proactively drive down these emissions through sharing our knowledge and expertise to help suppliers create their own carbon reduction plans for free.
Regardless of size of company, and progress towards Net Zero, the tool is simple and intuitive to use.
If your business has already calculated your carbon footprint, simply input your emissions data for the reporting year and upload your carbon reduction plan.
For those who wish to make a commitment and transition to Net Zero, our tool aids you by providing you with a receive a free carbon reduction plan with your carbon footprint upon completion of the tool.
Only one account per business is required regardless of how many universities you supply.
Thereafter, you will be prompted to submit your data annually for the duration of the contract.
There is a video tutorial on the landing page to support you through the process.
NETpositive Supplier Engagement
Sustainability is about more than reducing energy and recycling and the NETpositive Supplier Engagement Tool provides prompts for maximising your social value and economic impact.
The NETpositive Supplier Engagement Tool enables your business to demonstrate your commitment to the many universities and purchasing consortia using the tool.
By working through the stages in the tool you will receive a sustainability action plan.
If you already have an account, please log in and tick that you supply to Nottingham Trent University so that we can view your plan.
You are encouraged to log-in and update your actions to show progress for the duration of the contract.
