Environmental spend analysis (ESA)
A spend analysis is a tool that can be used to improve an organization’s strategic purchasing. We have taken the spend analysis further and developed the Environmental Spend Analysis (ESA) method. It integrates environmental effects into a regular spend analysis. This makes it possible to quantitatively indicate the environmental impact of various purchases.
Environmental Spend Analysis (ESA) integrates environmental effects into a regular spend analysis. This makes it possible to quantitatively indicate the environmental impact of total volume of purchased goods and services as well as different categories of various purchases. There are two versions of ESA, on for input-/output ICL and LCA based indicators and one for process-LCA based indicators. The main objective is to make possible for an organization to, on fact-based indicators, focus on the categories that, in total numbers, have the highest impact on environment (or climate).
