Siemens helps the global chemical industry launch supply chain decarbonization pilot projects  

June 2, 2023  

● A global initiative consisting of 47 chemical companies—Together for Sustainability (TfS) conducts product carbon footprint data exchange through Siemens SiGREEN● Pilot project to demonstrate scalability of product carbon footprint data interaction across the chemical industry● The chemical industry is a pioneer in the field of product-related environmental data interactionThe global initiative Together for Sustainability (TfS) and Siemens have announced a decarbonization collaboration to advance sustainable development in the chemical industry. The organization consists of 47 multinational companies, aiming to promote the sustainable development of the supply chain of the chemical industry, including some chemical giants. As a technology company promoting innovation and a benchmark enterprise in the field of automation technology and industrial software, Siemens will give full play to the powerful capabilities of SiGREEN, Siemens' carbon footprint trusted actuarial and traceability solution, to empower the chemical industry.The cooperation between Siemens and TfS is a key step in promoting the low-carbon transformation of the global chemical industry. The two parties will give full play to their respective advantages and explore the scalability of product carbon footprint data interaction in the chemical industry. According to the cooperation agreement, TfS will pilot SiGREEN in a small area first to summarize the relevant experience in the safe and credible interaction of product carbon footprint data in the chemical industry. After the pilot, all TfS member companies will deploy SiGREEN.Roland Busch, chairman of the board of directors and CEO of Siemens AG, said: "The cooperation with TfS marks an important step for the global chemical industry. We will help the entire chemical industry to improve the level of sustainable development. Other industries have also painted a blueprint for sustainable development. SiGREEN can ensure that companies can exchange supply chain carbon emission data safely and credibly. Based on this information, companies can further optimize decisions to reduce carbon footprints."Bertrand Conquéret, President of TfS, said: SiGREEN will support the large-scale application of the Product Carbon Footprint Guidelines in our operations, which will help us meet the "Scope 3" carbon emission challenges of the chemical industry. TfS member companies, their suppliers and customers are all looking forward to trying the trusted data sharing solution based on SiGREEN, creating a trusted environment, and supporting all partners to safely share product carbon footprint data in accordance with TfS "Product Carbon Footprint Guidelines", which is Key steps to drive and accelerate the low-carbon transformation of the entire chemical industry.According to the "CDP 2022 Global Supply Chain Report", the carbon emissions of the upstream supply chain account for 90% of the total supply chain emissions. SiGREEN will help integrate the carbon emissions of the entire value chain. With SiGREEN, supply chain companies can safely and credibly interact with product carbon footprint data, and establish a climate-neutral value chain based on the interactive data and their own carbon emissions, thereby promoting their own sustainable development. .chemical industry is Product-level environmental data exchange
