The Challenge

Four complex challenges at global scale

Global carbon footprint

Understanding emissions across 270 sites in 60+ countries: with inconsistent data quality, varying utility structures, and no centralised reporting system.

Science-Based Targets

Setting credible, methodology-compliant Science-Based Targets and formally registering them with the SBTi across a complex, multi-division corporate structure.

Emission reduction strategy

Devising a realistic regional emission reduction strategy that could actually achieve their SBTs across North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.

Sustainable procurement

Improving sustainable procurement practices and assessing the sustainability risks linked to key suppliers: including Scope 3 value chain emissions.

"We hugely value the knowledge and professionalism of GCX, who have become a critical partner to Datatec as we continue to pursue our sustainability ambitions as a global organisation."
