Saipem’s supply chain encompasses more than 20,000 qualified suppliers and spans over 1,600 product and service categories. We adopt a comprehensive approach to fostering a responsible supply chain. Through a rigorous due diligence process, we identify, assess, and monitor suppliers’ environmental and human rights impacts not only to ensure compliance with regulations but also to contribute to the growth of our supply chain in a sustainable way. A big part of this is managing scope 3 emissions.
Saipem is fully committed on sustainability topics since long time and is confirming its intention to play a leading role on this topic as we want to be recognized as an advanced technological and engineering platform for a sustainable future.

Advancing and engaging for vendor sustainability performance
Defining intermediate scope 3 targets is a core action of our 2025-2028 Sustainability Plan; therefore, we are continuously refining our methodology for calculating Scope 3 emissions, addressing critical factors such as the scope of applicability, type of projects, and the integration of primary data. We have involved cross-functional experts, in a dedicated task force. Through the SupplHi Carbon Tracker platform, we can collect primary data and assess vendors’ readiness in managing emissions. Our approach to emissions monitoring is collaborative, and we are dedicated to supporting suppliers who may lack the tools or expertise needed to work on climate targets. When it comes to assessing vendor sustainability performances, in 2021 Saipem joined Open-es, a platform connecting companies, people, and organisations in a collaborative ecosystem, which supports development and growth related to sustainability. Saipem requires all its vendors undergo a qualification process to register on the platform.
