Pillar 2 | The value chain of the future

Target: From a climate perspective, Knowit has a goal to influence its value chain (Scope 3), both suppliers and clients, to reduce its GHG emissions in line with the 1.5-degree goal. If we are to achieve the emission goals we have set, we must work together with suppliers that also have ambitious emission goals. Together with our significant suppliers, we can make a real difference.

Result: See picture. The largest negative climate impact is from corporate travel and purchasing of electronics.

Activities: 

1) For several years, Knowit has worked actively to decrease its negative impact from corporate travel and purchasing of electronics, for instance by implementing a new travel policy, choosing offices near public transportation hubs, and establishing a safe and sustainable routing for reuse and recycling of electronics.

2) In 2023, Knowit contacted its most significant suppliers with a set of questions to ensure that they act in accordance with Knowit’s Supplier Code of Conduct and have ambitions on social and environmental sustainability that are in line with or exceed Knowit’s own. Through dialogues with our most significant suppliers, we also create the conditions for identifying and managing any impact or incidents related to our material sustainability areas.
