Metals and mining software provider Metalshub announces a partnership with Minviro, a provider of sustainability consulting, software and data.
The aim of the partnership between Metalshub and Minviro is to provide PCF (Product Carbon Footprint) data for steel production raw materials to help procurement teams better assess their Scope 3 emissions.
Sustainable supply chains
There is an urgent need for transparent and sustainable supply chains in the metals and mining industries to achieve net-zero emissions. Since raw materials are the largest contributor to Scope 3 emissions from steel mills, the industry needs robust and trustworthy approaches and tools to capture the environmental impact of products from mine to market.
Metalshub provides PCF estimates to buyers right at the time of purchase with the Minviro integration. Minviro's data is based on a cradle-to-gate approach according to ISO 14040, ISO 14044 and ISO 14064 standards to capture all impacts from mine to metal. To obtain a PCF estimate, the type of raw material, production process and country of origin of the material must be entered into the Metalshub platform.
“Metalshub’s partnership with Minviro comes at a crucial time as the industry transitions to sustainable and transparent supply chains. With Metalshub’s fully digitalized procurement process and Minviro’s reliable Product Carbon Footprint data, the mining and metals sector can make data-driven decisions to reduce Scope 3 carbon footprint and achieve sustainability goals,” said Dr. Sebastian Kreft, co-founder and managing director of Metalshub.
Dr. Robert Pell highlights that by linking Minviro's industry-leading Product Carbon Footprint secondary data, Metalshub's procurement software enables buyers to make informed decisions and embed sustainability data into their products, improving sustainability information across the entire value chain.
