Responsibilities
• Lead the Scope 3 Procured Products Reduction Program: Analyze procurement data and collaborate with commodity leaders to identify opportunities for reducing emissions across various commodities (e.g., cables, fabricated plastic items). Develop both short- and long-term reduction roadmaps and targets. Work with internal stakeholders to define processes and standards, improve data accuracy, and support suppliers in their decarbonization efforts.
• Develop a Reduction Roadmap: Partner with engineering and procurement teams to create annual reduction plans and targets through 2032. Align the program with the raw materials reduction roadmap, monitor progress on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis, and address challenges as they arise. Provide leadership with progress updates through a comprehensive scorecard.
• Internal Collaboration: Work closely with commodity leaders to understand industry-specific challenges related to sustainability and develop solutions. Form working groups to address high-emission commodities and hold regular meetings to track progress and share updates. Develop processes, standards, and training programs to streamline the program's implementation.
• Supplier Engagement: Collaborate with procurement to engage suppliers, survey their progress, attend supplier meetings, assist with technical document reviews, and develop resources and training to accelerate suppliers’ decarbonization efforts.
• Improve Data Accuracy and Completeness: Conduct regular checks to ensure Scope 3 emissions data is calculated accurately. Work with procurement teams to obtain primary data and improve the accuracy of emissions calculations.
• Additional Responsibilities: Support other ad hoc projects as necessary to advance TE's Scope 3 goals and overall sustainability initiatives.
