Path to net zero must consider the entire value chain
Value chains are complex, with multiple suppliers, customers, and logistics partners; a credible sustainability plan must address sustainability metrics across the entire value chain.
Carbon emissions can be abated by a variety of means including improved efficiency, burning cleaner fuels or switching to alternative sources of energy such as wind or solar to result in lower carbon emissions. o9 capabilities can help provide the insights and tools to understand how these different initiatives could impact the path to net zero along the supply chain.

So you take the power out of the functions and give it to the general manager to run the business as they see fit, which is unbelievable."
Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer
"We are seeing about a 50% scrap reduction. And that is driven by the fact that we have a line of sight now to our customer forecasts, and we're making decisions to avoid bringing in excess inventory or inventory we don't need."
