Fluvius, the Belgian multi-utility company, pledged net-zero operations by 2050. Within the same timeframe, Fluvius also must implement its ambitious 2023-2032 Energy & Climate Transition investment plan. This comprehensive plan outlines and quantifies the network developments required for the energy and climate transition in Flanders. In light of Fluvius's ambitions, Joost, the Head of Supplier Management, needs to identify what actions can significantly contribute to decarbonization and how to create momentum to drive positive transformation into the value chain. As Joost navigates the complex landscape of the energy supply chain, he envisions a sustainable procurement roadmap as essential for Fluvius's transformative journey. The Case integrates the impact of European Union (EU) instruments like Emissions Trading System 2 (ETS 2.0) and National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) and the vulnerabilities of clean energy supply chains outlined by the International Energy Agency (IEA). In this dynamic environment, Joost reflects on how Fluvius can be a driving force for positive change. His roadmap involves mitigating environmental impacts and fostering innovation, resilience, and many other sustainability aspects across the supply chain. Joost wants to integrate the Industry 4.0 toolbox, emphasizing the need for a multifunctional approach. The journey charted by the roadmap is part of Fluvius' corporate responsibility and is a collaborative effort requiring strategic partnerships and a shared sense of ownership.
