Their challenge
Novy is deeply committed to sustainability and understands the effort required to manage its environmental impact. To streamline the collection of accurate emissions data from suppliers—without adding unnecessary strain on them or its own team—Novy partnered with ClimateCamp. The goal was to gain a clear understanding of its value chain’s carbon footprint, enabling informed decision-making and empowering collaborative efforts to reduce emissions.
Climatecamp's solution
Reduce data collection workload: Partnering with ClimateCamp significantly reduced Novy’s workload by automating supplier surveys, data collection, and analysis. While some suppliers initially questioned ClimateCamp’s relevance, clear communication and strong support quickly eased concerns, making the process smooth and efficient.
Improve Scope 3 data accuracy: Novy successfully gathered Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions data, along with critical Scope 3 insights from secondary sources. This provided a clear picture of their environmental footprint and key areas for improvement.
Accellerate sustainability goals: With a dedicated sustainability committee, Novy leveraged ClimateCamp’s tools to analyze their value chain, benchmark performance, and conduct Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) for specific products.
Educating suppliers: While larger suppliers had ready data, smaller ones needed guidance. Through education and support, many began calculating their CO2 footprint, helping Novy and its suppliers advance together in sustainability efforts.
“ We found ClimateCamp to be highly engaging, committed, and focused on results throughout the project. Their team worked closely with us, ensuring steady progress and meeting our expectations. We valued ClimateCamp’s straightforward approach, which prioritized delivering the sustainability outcomes we needed.” - Dries Mahieu, Compliance expert Novy
