For many organisations, the greatest sustainability challenges and opportunities exist beyond their own operations. Suppliers influence product quality, emissions, human rights, resource consumption and ultimately the resilience of your business.
We help organisations understand their supply chains, engage suppliers, identify sustainability risks and build long term partnerships that improve environmental performance, reduce business risk and strengthen resilience.
A structured approach to supply chain sustainability helps organisations:
Improve supply chain resilienceReduce environmental and social risksStrengthen supplier relationshipsImprove Scope 3 emissions dataMeet customer sustainability requirementsPrepare for emerging regulationsBuild long term stakeholder trust
Our approach
Most organisations are becoming increasingly efficient within their own operations, yet for many businesses the majority of environmental and social impacts occur upstream and downstream throughout the value chain.
Our approach goes beyond supplier questionnaires. We believe sustainable supply chains are built through collaboration, transparency and continuous improvement, not compliance alone.

Why ecorune
We understand environmental impacts across value chains
Our expertise in environmental engineering, LCA and carbon accounting lets us understand how impacts propagate throughout complex supply chains.
We believe collaboration creates better results
The strongest supply chains are built through long term partnerships rather than compliance alone. We help organisations work with suppliers to improve performance.
Practical, proportionate solutions
Every organisation has different suppliers, risks and priorities. We tailor our recommendations rather than applying generic templates.
