Balance cost and carbon footprint requirements with quotations that now include carbon footprint data<\/strong> \ud83c\udf43<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability has become critical to win new business and new contracts. Today\u2019s vendor selection processes often include sustainability and social responsibility as part of the decision criteria and mandatory ESG reporting begins for qualified European Union (EU) companies on January 1, 2024. The US and other regions are in various stages of implementing their own non-financial reporting requirements to provide investors, customers, and other stakeholders with better metrics on the environmental impact of business operations. These reports determine if your company even qualifies for being included in a formal contract and request for proposal bids. Not being sustainable may result in loss of business and customers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To support our customers in fulfilling the request of providing transparency on the carbon footprint of the products<\/a>, we have extended in Teamcenter Product Cost Management our standard cost breakdown sheets. Supplier can provide quotations that include both, cost, and carbon footprint information. This new capability also supports OEMs in their supplier negotiations, due to the export and import functionality of cost and carbon emission details. The new fraction bars provide the ability to easily manage and compare quotations. The blue fraction bars showing the weight of different cost sources within the final net sales price and the green ones reflecting the weight of the different carbon footprint sources within the final carbon footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
