NSG Group has joined the League of Champions group within the Sustainable Procurement Pledge (SPP), the first in world’s glass manufacturers.
SPP is a not-for-profit organisation which exists to accelerate the drive towards sustainable supply chains across industries and geographies. With more than 12,000 committed ambassadors, SPP fosters the positive impact of procurement worldwide.
SPP provides tools, knowledge and a network to enable procurement professionals to embed sustainability into their roles in whatever sector they operate. The SPP’s League of Champions helps steer the movement’s direction, empowering procurement leaders and their organisations to better engage and build capability on sustainability within their procurement functions.
“I am delighted to join this committed group of Chief Procurement Officers from peer companies and to collectively drive the future direction of Sustainability in global supply chains,” commented John Wilgar, Chief Procurement Officer of NSG Group. “By joining the League of Champions we gain access to best practices, research, benchmarking, and a network of experts to help shape NSG’s strategy on sustainable supply chains. This step further emphasises NSG’s commitment to addressing climate change and improving our world.”
NSG Group has agreed to Science Based Targets (SBTi) for CO2 emissions reduction with a goal to reduce carbon emissions by 30 percent by the year 2030 (versus 2018 baseline). This target also includes Scope 3 carbon emissions within NSG Group’s supply chain.
Currently, the Group purchase materials, goods and services from more than 15,000 suppliers worldwide. In support of the Group’s ESG goals, the Group aims to work with suppliers to align with them on shared principles and to encourage them to strive for the same goals the Group sets for themselves.
To further strengthen this commitment, the Group is preparing a new Sustainable Supply Chain Charter to build a sustainable supply chain. Working in collaboration with their suppliers, NSG Group will continue to promote actions to realize a sustainable society.
