How to compete in a sustainable supply chain

Onyx Renewables explains how commercial and industrial (C&I) suppliers can utilize onsite solar energy to achieve their sustainability goals — and stay competitive in an increasingly green supply chain.

With regulators around the world embracing more stringent greenhouse gas emissions reporting, major corporations are paying closer attention to not only their own emissions, but the emissions across their entire operational networks. Up to 90% of a company’s emissions come from processes within the value chain — and managing those emissions can be tricky.

Increasingly, corporate businesses are partnering with suppliers whose sustainability and emissions reduction goals align with their own. For  manufacturers, logistics providers, and other businesses that take swift action to decarbonize their operations, there is a growing opportunity to stand out in a sea of suppliers and provide cleaner products and services to corporate customers. 

In our inaugural white paper, “Supply Chain Sustainability,” Onyx Renewables details how suppliers and other companies across the value chain can leverage clean energy to boost their business. With deep renewable energy expertise and more than 400 projects completed and in operation across the United States, we aim to help corporate suppliers decrease their greenhouse gas emissions, build resilience against energy price volatility, and become sustainability leaders. 

This resource details how onsite solar power in particular can be an ace in the hole for suppliers, helping you achieve your sustainability goals and maintain a competitive edge over others in increasingly decarbonized supply chains. 

Onsite solar enables businesses to consume localized energy that is clean and produced right at their facility. This reduces emissions from fossil fuel power generation, eliminates the need to purchase offsite energy, and provides a reliable power supply when paired with battery storage, which improves resilience if the power grid goes down. Onsite solar can also help reduce long-term energy costs and provide additional benefits such as emissions reporting data that can demonstrate a business’s progress toward sustainability goals, as well as visual proof of clean energy procurement. 

That way, energy doesn’t have to be just an expense — it can also be an asset that decreases your carbon emissions and attracts new business relationships with companies seeking sustainability-oriented partners.
