We recognise that asking your suppliers to provide detailed mining data for Scope 3 emissions may feel overwhelming. You might think, "It's too complicated," or "That's not our role." But let's be clear: it is within our collective power to bring about change. It starts with us taking that first step towards transparency and accountability in our supply chains.
This step, while challenging, is made simpler with our dedicated support. We're not just asking for data; we're creating a community of practice where every supplier becomes a pivotal player in a larger story of sustainability and ethical responsibility.
Our initiative aims to illuminate the once opaque journey of minerals from mine to market. By empowering suppliers with the tools and support to share their data, we're building a foundation of trust and integrity that reaches all the way to the miners.
Steering clear of the one-size-fits-all approach of emission factors, we champion a future where the right practices are not just encouraged but celebrated. We distinguish and honor those suppliers who are stepping up, leading the way towards a more sustainable industrial practice.
Your partnership in this endeavour means that the intricate web of mining data, once a labyrinthine challenge, becomes an integrated part of your success in environmental stewardship. You're not just complying with standards; you're setting them.
Until the data flow becomes a norm, we utilise academic research, third-party insights, and even artificial intelligence to provide the missing pieces. This interim solution is a stepping stone to the ultimate goal of full disclosure in mining operations.
Our eyes are on the horizon, focused on the future of electronics and electrical industries. We're here for the long term, committed to driving forward the changes needed for a truly sustainable and transparent supply chain.
Requesting mining data is a fundamental step towards 'cradle to gate' or 'cradle to grave' transparency. Embracing this challenge is vital to our mission, transforming what might seem an onerous task into a hallmark of our shared commitment to responsible sourcing.
