Project
Overview
- To research the different techniques being adopted across the globe to sequester (store) carbon within the wine-growing community. The final report would need to show technical in-depth research and be summarised in a format to enable general circulation.
- Create a multi-language online questionnaire focussed on benchmarking Direct Wines’ supply chain engagement levels relating to decarbonisation. This analysis would be summarised and presented to the board.
- To create an engagement plan with key suppliers across multiple regions to provide a variety of consultative services to enable the acceleration of decarbonisation.
Skills & Knowledge
- An environmental expert with an in-depth knowledge of carbon sequestration and best practice techniques.
- Digital capability to produce a multi-language questionnaire and host it on a separate domain to Direct Wines.
- A clear understanding of an appropriate questionnaire structure, which will product meaningful quantifiable data, while assuring a high response rate.
- Experience in delivering bespoke carbon reduction and benchmarking projects across different geographies.
Outcomes & Results
01
Market Analysis
A structured research paper giving clear guidance on the methods used to sequester carbon across multiple regions. This gave Direct Wines a document which would be distributed to senior stakeholders and suppliers to help positively impact their overall Scope 3 emissions.
02
Supply Chain Assessment
A clear benchmark of Direct Wines' supply chains and their current understanding and progress toward net zero. This gave Direct Wines the ability to identify individual suppliers who needed support to move forward with their decarbonisation.
03
Programme Development
The delivery of a programme of work across selected suppliers which consisted of a carbon footprint assessment, renewable energy feasibility studies, best practice gap analysis and data reviews.
