Full Credential Description
A multinational plastics, chemical, and refining company faced significant challenges in achieving sustainability and circularity within its manufacturing processes. The company recognized the need to transition from a linear business model, which typically involves a take-make-waste approach, to a circular economy model that emphasizes the continuous use of raw materials and products. However, they encountered difficulties in accurately measuring and validating their circular content, which is essential for obtaining the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC). This certification requires precise tracking of circular content from raw materials to finished products, a process that was previously manual and prone to errors. To address these challenges, EY provided a tailored solution that involved the development of a digital ledger utilizing Microsoft Cloud and Power Platform technologies. This innovative system was designed to automate the sustainability certification process, enabling the company to accurately calculate and attribute circular content to its products. The EY team conducted a design workshop to identify the product requirements and established a lean, customized solution that integrated seamlessly with the client's existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. The use of the Microsoft Power Platform allowed for rapid prototyping and agile development, significantly shortening the overall development timeline. The results of this initiative were impressive. The new automated certification validation system was delivered in just six months, which was two times faster than other solutions. It is expected to save approximately 5,000 hours of manual effort annually and will play a crucial role in the company's goal of selling millions of metric tons of circular-certified plastic products by 2030. Additionally, the system provides a sustainability certificate that verifies the circular content of the products, enhancing transparency and trust with retailers and customers. This initiative not only supports the company's sustainability goals but also positions them as a leader in the transition to a circular economy, ultimately contributing to a reduction in their carbon footprint and reliance on fossil fuels.
