Large buyers, retailers, and government agencies often demand verified supply chain carbon credentials as part of tender requirements and ESG reporting.

We’ve already covered ISO 20400, and the next section of Chapter 14 in our new book – Profit meets Planet – focuses on:

PAS/BES Standards – Responsible Sourcing

PAS 2060, PAS 2050, PAS 2080, BES 6001, etc., set standards for responsible sourcing and carbon management across products and materials.

They typically apply to raw materials, construction, and manufacturing sectors, and traceability, ethical sourcing, and environmental performance of supply chain inputs.

Benefits:

1. Provides verified evidence of low-carbon and responsible sourcing

2. Supports compliance with buyer ESG and sustainability requirements

3. Strengthens scope 3 carbon reporting

4. Enhances credibility for PAS 2060 carbon-neutral claims

Example:

A steel fabricator supplying construction projects uses BES 6001 Responsible Sourcing certification to demonstrate sustainable procurement of raw steel and reduce embodied carbon for clients.

In the book – Profit meets Planet – there’s loads more practical advice – covering many standards and accreditations – which help manufacturers gain efficiencies and reduce cost – to increase profits.
