Tesco thrives its Global Focus on Sustainability with Capgemini
Tesco has strengthened its global focus on sustainability in a new contract with Capgemini for the provision of a managed service for energy and carbon data management. This contract, which utilizes the specialist sustainability expertise in Capgemini's Global Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) business unit, will help Tesco with its programme to reduce its carbon footprint worldwide.
Under the new contract, Capgemini is believed to be responsible for the collection, processing and reporting of energy and carbon emissions data from Tesco operations worldwide. Tesco will retain control of the overall process while the data quality checking, consolidation, processing, reporting output and technology system administration will be managed by Capgemini. In addition, managers across the Tesco global network will receive support in matters of sustainability data from Capgemini's dedicated BPO Sustainability Centre of Excellence.
Ben Day, Climate Change Manager, Tesco said, "We chose Capgemini because it was able to provide us with a proven, ready-to-run solution. We were attracted by its ability to provide the required support, its understanding of energy and carbon data management issues and its specialist skills with the CA Technologies eco Governance sustainability tool set. We expect to see an immediate improvement in the efficiency and capacity of our carbon footprint measurement and reporting process."
The Capgemini BPO Sustainability Service can be configured to incorporate CA Technologies leading eco Governance software to comprise a complete managed service. The Sustainability BPO service is part of Capgemini BPO's wider Supply Chain Management BPO services since it is Capgemini's firm view that all 'Future Supply Chains' must take account of sustainability.
Peter Walsh, Head of Sustainability for Business Process Outsourcing, Capgemini said, 'We are delighted to be providing this service to Tesco, which confirms the value and global reach of our BPO sustainability managed service. Tesco have set ambitious carbon reduction targets and we believe Capgemini BPO's unique managed service for sustainability data will play an important role in helping them reach their targets in the most reliable and efficient manner possible."
