How Tardigrade helps Purchasing Departments address their 7 challenges regarding climate risks
1. Map the vulnerabilities of the supply chain
The Purchasing Department must analyze the exposure of its supply chain to climate risks and identify the critical links that could cause disruptions.
2. Strategically diversify supply sources
It is essential to develop a portfolio of suppliers distributed across different geographical areas and to establish alternative sources for critical components.
3. Evaluate suppliers based on resilience criteria
Climate resilience criteria must be integrated into the supplier qualification process and their capacity evaluated regularly.
4. Develop supply continuity plans
The Purchasing Department must prepare emergency protocols, build strategic stocks, and develop alternative logistics solutions.
5. Monitor consumption and manage critical resources
A precise tracking of resources sensitive to climate variations allows for optimizing their use and reducing dependence on vulnerable resources.
6. Develop innovative collaborations with suppliers
Partnerships with suppliers allow for co-creating solutions that anticipate future constraints related to climate change.
7. Integrate climate risks into the purchasing strategy
The analysis of climate risks must be incorporated into procurement decisions and the total cost of ownership calculation.
