联手远景科技,星巴克中国启动全链碳盘查

Core Viewpoint - Starbucks China is extending its carbon reduction efforts to upstream supply chain management through a strategic partnership with Envision Group, aiming to establish a carbon management platform for its suppliers over the next three years [1]. Group 1: Carbon Management Initiatives - Starbucks China has previously collaborated with Envision in areas of direct and indirect emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2), integrating over 7,500 stores into Envision's smart IoT operating system for efficient management of energy systems [2]. - The initiative has led to an average annual energy savings of 12% per store, translating to over 6,000 yuan in savings on water and electricity costs [2]. - More than 2,100 stores in China have received green store certification, representing nearly 30% of the total stores, significantly exceeding the global average [3]. Group 2: Sustainable Practices in Operations - The Starbucks Coffee Innovation Park utilizes Envision's "zero-carbon integrated energy solution," incorporating solar panels, smart energy storage, and digital carbon management systems to achieve energy savings and carbon reduction [4]. - The park features over 26,000 square meters of solar panels, meeting 20% of its energy needs, and achieves 100% green electricity coverage, with annual carbon reduction equivalent to the absorption of 800,000 coffee trees [4]. Group 3: Focus on Scope 3 Emissions - For Starbucks, Scope 3 emissions represent the core challenge, with approximately 70% of its total carbon emissions originating from upstream suppliers [5]. - The company plans to develop sustainable dairy management tools in collaboration with Envision to address emissions from dairy farms, focusing on renewable energy procurement and optimizing feed management [5]. - Starbucks China has committed to covering the costs of carbon footprint assessments for suppliers, even as business expands, demonstrating its dedication to sustainability [5].
