Calculating your organization’s first carbon footprint can be a daunting task. How to collect the data? Where to start? And perhaps most importantly - how to get the best value for your business, out of the results? These were some of the questions our customer Caudalie was facing. With ambitious sustainability goals and an environmental ethos running through the company’s DNA, it was important for the French skincare brand to choose the right technological tool for the task. We are proud to have helped Caudalie to create its first ever carbon footprint, streamlining its sustainability data management in the process - leaving team members more time for the all-important task of taking sustainability action. Caudalie’s Sustainable Development Manager Angelique Vacher told us why her team turned to Sweep, and how the platform has transformed their work.

As many of you are busy with last-minute holiday shopping… we are thinking about another kind of procurement: sustainable procurement for businesses. As global priorities shift toward addressing climate change and fostering social responsibility, the understanding of corporate procurement has grown to include broader environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns. Some elements that today’s procurement leaders must consider: ✳️ the price and quality of goods and services ✳️ climate impacts ✳️ resource efficiency ✳️ social responsibility being embedded in their supply chains Companies increasingly expect their procurement departments to demonstrate alignment with sustainable investment practices, as sustainability now impacts both financial and reputational outcomes. So, how can this all be achieved? Our experts in sustainable business have prepared some helpful pointers.
