Climate Reporting
In order to monitor progress over Delhaize’s Scope 3 ambition to cut down greenhouse gas emissions by 45% in 2030, we need to be able to track emissions. Therefore, Delhaize requests all suppliers to report Scope 1-2-3 carbon emissions to Delhaize annually.
Our approach distinguishes between national brand suppliers and Private Label (Own brand) suppliers:
- National brand suppliers are invited to report via the international climate benchmark CDP with an annual deadline of July 26th.
If desired, NB suppliers can also be invited to report via the ImpactBuying platform. Please request this via carbon@delhaize.be
! Tip : take a look at the CDP Webinar. You can find the link under documents. - Private Label suppliers are invited to report via the ImpactBuying platform with an annual deadline of June 30th.
! Exception to this deadline for reporting year 2023 (data 2022): reporting is possible until September 30, 2023. - Suppliers supplying both national and own-brand products are invited to report via the ImpactBuying platform with an annual deadline of 30 June.
How to start climate reporting via CDP (for national-brand suppliers)?
About CDP
CDP is a not-for-profit charity that runs the global disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states and regions to manage their environmental impacts. It has questionnaires around Climate Change, Water and Forests.
Climate Change questionnaire
Delhaize (via its group Ahold Delhaize) requests A-brand suppliers to disclose the Climate Change questionnaire annually. This questionnaire - including the “Supply Chain module” - is needed to aggregate our suppliers’ emissions into Ahold Delhaize’s total value chain footprint. Please make sure to link your account to your clients, in this case Ahold Delhaize (not Delhaize, because Ahold Delhaize reports via CDP as a group).
Start your disclosure
CDP will invite our A-brand Suppliers via e-mail in March or April. When you log on, our suppliers will see their customers that request emissions reporting, amongst others Ahold Delhaize.
NB: If by late April you have not yet received an invitation, please reach out to CDP directly.
If you are a new user in CDP, please follow the instructions here. If you cannot log in to CDP, please contact CDP via “My Support” in the CDP Help Center.
More information can be found in this video and this presentation.
How to start climate reporting via ImpactBuying (for Private Label suppliers)?
The online climate reporting tool for own brand suppliers was developed and hosted by ImpactBuying (IB). As an own brand supplier, you are invited by ImpactBuying to create an account on their platform and report there.
NB: If, as an own brand supplier, you have not received an invitation by the end of April, please contact carbon@delhaize.be
Which questions and data are requested to disclose via ImpactBuying?
Climate reporting for Private Label suppliers is divided over nine small sections and cover questions around your company’s climate targets, data on emissions and calculation methods, and data quality. Please see the Documents & FAQ section for a full overview of questions and a userguide.
