Case study
Kemira optimizes its sustainability with ESG solutions integrated into Ivalua
Kemira, with the help of OJC Consulting, successfully implemented a solution that systematically collects Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) data from raw material suppliers which improves the company’s data transparency and accuracy.
Integrating PCF data to improve transparency and ensure compliance with emerging environmental regulations.
Automation and reliability of PCF questionnaires to optimize the effectiveness of responsible sourcing.
Continuous improvement of environmental performance to meet growing market expectations.
Thanks to the implementation of this new solution by OJC Consulting, we have significantly enhanced the accuracy and maturity of PCF data collection.
Kemira, a world leader in water treatment solutions, sustainable management of natural resources and renewable chemical solutions, is based in Helsinki, Finland.
With an extensive international presence in over 100 countries and 4 700 employees, Kemira supports its industrial customers in improving their energy and environmental efficiency. Faced with rapidly evolving environmental regulations and growing demands for transparency and social responsibility, Kemira chose Ivalua to digitalize its purchasing processes and significantly enhance PCF management with its suppliers.
To increase efficiency and accuracy in collecting PCF data from suppliers at raw material level, OJC Consulting has developed a new sourcing type with its dedicated RFx type within the Ivalua platform.
Thanks to the automation of this process, the data collected is reliable and can be integrated directly via API into Kemira’s data validation and reporting systems, optimizing the environmental performance management.
Technical integration was achieved primarily via dedicated APIs, enabling smooth, automatic synchronization of the ESG data collected with Kemira’s existing reporting system.
This process ensures transparency and accurate tracking thanks to a detailed, audit trail, including information on authors, modification dates and the status of proposals, thus reinforcing collaboration between the sourcing, product line, and life cycle assessment team.
Improved transparency and traceability by directly integrating PCF data into Kemira’s internal reporting system via dedicated APIs.
Increased supplier engagement thanks to a clear, simplified, and structured PCF approach.
Improved reporting capabilities allowing Kemira better to visualize, analyze and follow up the PCF data.
