1. Purpose

The Procurement Results page provides a detailed overview of the environmental impact associated with your company's procurement activities, specifically focusing on the transportation of purchased goods and materials. It allows you to track your progress over time and compare your performance against industry and association benchmarks.

2. Key Features

• Carbon Footprint: A bar chart at the top displays the carbon footprint associated with your procurement activities for the selected year, measured in kilograms of CO2 equivalent (kg CO2-eq). This helps you understand the overall environmental impact of transporting purchased goods and materials.
• Impact per Month (if applicable): If you select a specific month in the options at the top of the page, this section displays a bar chart showing the procurement impact for that month. This allows you to identify any monthly variations in your procurement-related emissions.
• Benchmark Comparisons: The page includes benchmark comparisons to show how your procurement impact per square meter, and per euro sold, compares to industry averages and association averages (if applicable).
• Variance: This section displays the percentage difference between your company's impact and the industry or association average. A red percentage indicates that your impact is higher than the average, suggesting room for improvement. A green percentage indicates that your impact is lower than the average, highlighting good performance compared to the benchmark.
• Interactive Elements: You can hover over the bars in the charts to view detailed information about specific months and their contribution to your procurement impact.

3. Understanding the Charts

• Carbon Footprint chart: Each bar in the chart represents a year, and the height of the bar indicates the associated carbon footprint in kg CO2-eq for your procurement activities.
• Impact per Month chart (if applicable): Each bar in the chart represents a month, and the height of the bar indicates the procurement impact for that specific month.
• Benchmark Graphs: The benchmark graphs use bar charts to visually compare your impact per square meter and impact per euro sold against industry and association averages. This helps you compare your impact to an industry average.

4. Using the Page

• Select Year: Use the menu at the top to select the year for which you want to view procurement results.
• Analyze the Charts: Review the charts to understand your carbon footprint from procurement, impact per month (if applicable), and benchmark comparisons.
• Evaluate Variance: Pay attention to the variance percentages to identify areas where your company's performance is significantly different from the industry or association average.
• Identify Areas for Improvement: Based on the insights from this page, you can identify opportunities to reduce the environmental impact from your procurement activities, such as optimizing transportation routes, utilizing more fuel-efficient vehicles, consolidating orders to reduce transport frequency, or sourcing materials locally.
