Environmental Impact Solutions: Supply Chain

For many global organizations, their largest footprint exists across their supply chain, which can at times be located thousands of miles from where they conduct business.

This geographic spread creates a need to identify, measure, disclose and reduce the organizations' environmental impact by working in collaboration with their suppliers to incorporate green practices throughout all points of the supply chain.

Intertek provides comprehensive environmental impact solutions for the supply chain to enable its customers to manage their environmental impact. 

Environmental Performance Assessment 

Intertek has developed the Think Green Initiative (TGI) to help make supplier environmental performance assessment more efficient and robust – as well as highly cost-effective.  It is also a resource center and stakeholder engagement platform that fosters collaboration by making the sharing of environmental information easier.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory  

With a global network of environmental auditors, Intertek can inventory greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from almost any facility. We help our clients to measure GHG according to international standards like ISO 14064 and GHG protocol into their supply chain to determine the baseline for measurement. This can then help suppliers to disclose their GHG emissions in different ways, such as the Carbon Disclosure Project, or into their own environmental reporting,

Our system certification is also accredited against ISO 14065 to verify GHG emissions inventory.

Life Cycle Inventory 

Intertek conducts life cycle inventory for companies that seek to collect accurate information from their supply chain, notably when they need accurate information in order to  measure environmental impact of their products.

A life cycle inventory consists in an environmental data collection from the reception of raw material in a manufacturing facility to the shipment of finished goods, and is then used in life cycle analysis.

Green Leaf Mark for Consumer Goods

This certification mark is a consumer product and systems certification providing validation that environmental claims have been independently verified and can be used to enhance the marketability of textile products. With the Intertek Green Leaf Mark, manufacturers, brands and retailers can provide business partners and consumers the assurance that their environmental claims are verified by a third-party testing, auditing and certification body.
