CCF has appointed Phil Monkman to its newly created role of head of customer sustainability as part of its ongoing commitment to improving environmental and operational efficiency within the supply chain.
One of the key initiatives that CCF has introduced in the last 12 months is its new carbon reporting service. Currently in its first phase of development, this new tool will help improve the carbon footprint of the distribution link in the supply chain as well as making the materials delivery process as energy efficient as possible.
Monkman said: “It’s all about fostering collaboration between manufacturers, suppliers, customers as well as with other distributors. If we’re to achieve net zero we all have to work collaboratively and present real solutions for the whole supply chain to benefit from and that is going to be my main focus in this new position.
“CCF has already set out some really innovative initiatives and made headway in terms of improving sustainability from a supply chain perspective. Now I want to take these a step further to see how we can bring added benefits and value to our customers as part of this process.
“By understanding why these initiatives matter to our customers and tailoring them to provide the tangible benefits they need we’ll be well on our way to improving the distribution process, making it more sustainable and more efficient. I’m excited to see the impact these changes are going to have on the sector as a whole.”
In his new role, Monkman will collaborate with CCF’s development team as well as customers and suppliers to unlock future innovation and best practice that will benefit the entire supply chain.
