Case Study: Achieving sustainability across a UK logistics estate through net zero procurement strategies.
Client: National logistics operator with 30+ warehouses and fulfilment sites
Challenge: Fragmented contracts and lack of visibility around renewable sourcing, hindering ESG progress and Scope 2 reporting
Solution: Inteb implemented a unified net zero procurement strategy, transitioning all eligible sites to REGO-backed supply and consolidating contracts for future flexibility
Outcome:
Q: Do green energy contracts cost more?
A: Not always. Some renewable tariffs are cost-neutral or even more competitive depending on timing. Inteb compares all options.
Q: Can you help with ESG reporting?
A: Yes. We provide data and documentation to support your reporting obligations, including SECR and IFRS/TCFD internal stakeholder updates.
Q: Is REGO-backed supply enough to meet net zero targets?
A: It’s a great starting point. We help clients explore next steps, including PPAs and on-site generation if required.
Q: What does ‘Net Zero’ mean in the context of energy procurement?
A: Net zero in energy procurement means sourcing and managing energy in a way that reduces greenhouse gas emissions to as close to zero as possible, with any remaining emissions offset by credible means (e.g., carbon credits). This often involves renewable energy contracts and improved energy efficiency.
Q: How can energy procurement help achieve net zero targets?
A: By selecting renewable energy (e.g., REGO-backed electricity, green gas), optimising energy usage, and integrating demand management, procurement can directly reduce Scope 2 emissions and support broader sustainability goals.
Q: What are REGO certificates, and why are they important?
A: REGO (Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin) certificates prove that the electricity a business purchases is matched by generation from renewable sources. They help validate sustainability claims and support reporting for ESG and compliance frameworks.
Q: Is renewable energy more expensive?
A: Not necessarily. While some renewable products can carry a premium, market dynamics have made green tariffs more competitive. Additionally, long-term price stability and reputational benefits often outweigh any short-term cost difference.
Q: How do carbon offsets fit into net zero energy procurement?
A: While reducing actual emissions should always be the priority, high-quality offsets can be used to compensate for unavoidable emissions. These should be verified and aligned with best practices to maintain credibility.
