![]() ![]() Create differentiated products at the point of sale.Assist downstream customers to make informed purchasing and sustainability investment decisions.Help farmers evaluate the impact of climate-smart agriculture practices.The solution is designed to meet four objectives: For Bayer and Bushel, the Working Backwards process resulted in defining a solution to trace the carbon intensity of agriproducts as they move through the supply chain, unifying the carbon data from seed to processing. The Working Backwards process is an Amazon innovation process which starts with a focus on the customer to identify issues and pain points and works from there to create the solution. With support from the AWS Professional Services Global Sustainability Practice and the AWS Digital Innovation Program, (a global team of experts that help businesses realize their desired outcomes on AWS) Bayer and Bayer’s partner Bushel, went through the Amazon Working Backwards process. Bayer initiated a project to solve for this Scope 3 tracking challenge in the agriculture value chain. Even in those instances where emissions are accurately captured in one part of the supply chain, these attributes are often lost at the next transition point (for example, from grower to delivery) due to limited interoperability between systems used by growers, transportation companies, and downstream purchasers. Companies purchasing crops for downstream processing have limited visibility into the carbon footprint of their supply chain (categorized as Scope 3 emissions by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol) and are often forced to make estimates based on crude averages and outdated reports. Last week, Bayer announced a new initiative called Project Carbonview, a supply chain carbon tracking application, built and powered by AWS.īayer came to AWS to discuss how to track carbon emissions through the value chain from farmer to end purchaser of agricultural goods. In order to meet these sustainability priorities organizations are implementing applications and systems to measure and monitor carbon emissions data so they can manage reaching their goals.īayer, a global enterprise with core competencies in the life science fields of health care and nutrition, is also committed to drive sustainable development and generate a positive impact with its businesses. Similar to our efforts, sustainability goals and commitments are being made in many industries, including the agriculture industry. In 2019, Amazon co-founded The Climate Pledge-a commitment to be net zero carbon across our business by 2040, 10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement. Here at AWS we are incorporating sustainability measures in our business to deliver on Amazon’s commitment to building a sustainable business for our customers and the planet.
