11.4 times higher than operational emissions. We now require a carbon web assessment from all suppliers as part of our vendor-selection process –and we’re not alone.

The SMEs that make up our world’s supply chains must implement decarbonization strategies in order to remain competitive in the market. There needs to be an alignment of decarbonization expectations between suppliers and customers, or suppliers risk losing significant business.

The major obstacle to sustainability initiatives is complexity. SMEs must baseline current emissions, identify areas for improvement, implement change with products and technology, and allocate capital to the project. The goal of the Siemens Kickstarter Capital program is to eliminate the complexity, add speed, and simplify the entire process.

Participants can consult with a team of Siemens finance and technology experts to create a custom, end-to-end decarbonization roadmap. Along with financing, the scalable roadmap will integrate Siemens Smart Infrastructure products, solutions, and services such as energy efficiency technologies, alternative renewable energy sources and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

SMEs collectively hold the power to solve the global climate crisis and can protect their right to compete in the market by leveraging that power. Siemens can work with them to help them realize their emissions output and eliminate the supply chain’s carbon footprint with benchmarking tools and end-to-end, practical solutions.

Everything that SMEs need to help save the planet is available; now we must work together to harness the potential. Visit www.usa.siemens.com/kickstarter to learn more about our Kickstarter Capital program.
