To monitor its greenhouse gas emissions , Cardinal Health uses a software solution and system that “ enables us to track trends and look at areas where we can improve ," Bellantis says .
Bellantis says that a significant challenge - across all industries - is tackling scope 3 emissions . These indirect emissions occur in a company ’ s value chain and include such things as greenhouse gas emissions from the suppliers and vendors that deliver raw materials , external manufacturing facilities , and last-mile partners who drive products to healthcare providers . These are more difficult to measure than Scope 1 and 2 emissions , Bellantis explains , but they represent an important impact on the environment . " Our opportunity is to screen these scope 3 emissions in a way that allows us to track and reduce them ."
Bellantis is optimistic , he says . " These types of opportunities drive innovation , and Cardinal Health has demonstrated that it ' s a very innovative company , able to tackle complex issues . It ’ s exciting that these conversations are taking place in the area
