Sustainability Made Simple: How ADEY BSM and ADEY ERP Revolutionize Supermarket Operations

Proposal: Optimizing Sustainability in Your Supermarket Chain with ADEY BSM and ADEY ERP

Dear Sir or Madam,

We are excited to introduce a tailored solution that enables your supermarket chain to optimize its carbon footprint holistically. Our platforms—ADEY BSM and ADEY ERP—link precise consumption data from your stores with comprehensive supply chain information. This allows you to achieve robust ESG and GHG reporting that not only meets regulatory requirements but also strengthens your sustainability strategy.

Challenge: Creating Efficient and Sustainable Supermarkets

Supermarkets are among the largest energy consumers in the retail sector. Lighting, cooling, and the processing of fresh products require significant amounts of electricity, water, and gas. Additionally, complex supply chains contribute to substantial Scope 3 emissions. To tackle these challenges, you need an integrated solution that captures and analyzes all relevant data points.

Our Solution: Connecting Smart Meter and Supply Chain Data

With ADEY ERP, you can monitor your stores' resource consumption in real-time through smart meters. These data points are directly integrated into the platform and combined with supply chain data from ADEY BSM, enabling a comprehensive analysis of your carbon emissions.

1. Smart Metering and Internal Resource Optimization (Scope 1 & 2)

ADEY ERP captures and analyzes resource consumption in the following areas:

• Scope 1: Direct emissions from your operations, such as those from heating systems and company vehicles.
• Scope 2: Indirect emissions from energy consumption, such as electricity and gas usage in your stores.

Through smart metering, you gain granular insights for each store and department:

• Electricity consumption per department: Lighting, cooling, hot beverages.
• Gas consumption for heating and hot water.
• Water usage and waste management: Optimizing water consumption and recycling rates.

2. Supply Chain Integration (Scope 3)

ADEY BSM enables the integration of your products’ supply chain data into the analysis:

• CO₂ emissions across the supply chain: From cultivation to processing, transportation, and packaging.
• Resource usage by suppliers: Tracking water and energy consumption at the source.
• Compliance with social and environmental standards: Ensuring certifications like Fairtrade or Rainforest Alliance are met.

Case Study: A Sustainable Coffee Chain

A leading supermarket used ADEY BSM and ADEY ERP to analyze and reduce the carbon footprint of its coffee products.

1. Internal Analysis (Scope 1 & 2)

Through smart metering, direct and indirect emissions in the store were captured:

• Electricity consumption: Coffee machines and warming systems accounted for 15% of the store's total electricity usage.
• Gas consumption: Heating systems contributed significantly to Scope 1 emissions.

2. Supply Chain Analysis (Scope 3)

ADEY BSM analyzed the environmental impact across the entire coffee supply chain:

• Water consumption at the source averaged 18,900 liters per kilogram of coffee.
• Transportation and processing generated significant Scope 3 emissions.

3. Actions and Results

• Efficiency improvements in stores: Replacing coffee machines and warming systems reduced electricity consumption by 12%.
• Supply chain optimization: Switching to a more sustainable supplier lowered coffee's Scope 3 emissions by 8%.

These combined measures reduced the carbon footprint per cup of coffee by 15%. The results were transparently presented in the ESG report, boosting customer trust.

Your Benefits at a Glance

• Comprehensive CO₂ Analysis (Scope 1, 2, and 3): Integrating internal and external data for a complete view of your carbon footprint.
• Optimized Resource Usage: Data-driven decisions to reduce energy, water, and waste consumption.
• Improved ESG and GHG Reporting: Compliance with regulatory requirements and enhanced transparency for stakeholders.
• Enhanced Customer Trust through Transparency: Sustainability data strengthens customer loyalty.
• Cost Efficiency: Savings through more efficient processes and sustainable suppliers.

Conclusion

With ADEY BSM and ADEY ERP, you have a powerful solution to achieve your sustainability goals while reducing costs. We support you in implementing a holistic ESG strategy that optimizes both your internal processes and supply chains.
