Raw Material Sustainability Benchmarking Study
The client lacked a clear, data-backed benchmark of raw material sustainability against steel and concrete, limiting its ability to highlight competitive advantages.
50%
lower fossil-based adhesive risk. Dual-sourcing and bio-based alternatives reduced reliance on high-risk suppliers and improved supply security.
90%p
renewable share vs. steel/concrete. Clear sustainability advantage strengthened market positioning and supported higher win rates in bids.
100%
supply chain risk visibility. Comprehensive mapping enabled proactive risk mitigation for adhesives and timber sourcing.
A note on sourcing. Every figure here comes from a SprintlyWorks client engagement. Clients are described, never named. Where a figure is identified or modelled rather than banked, the line says so.
01
The problem
Heavy reliance on fossil-based adhesives from high-risk regions created supply vulnerabilities and contributed significantly to product emissions.
Without a consolidated view of renewability, recyclability, and supply chain risks, the client faced missed opportunities to strengthen market positioning, reduce dependency risks, and align with top green building certifications.
02
What the sprint set out to do
Map and compare raw materials, waste, and emissions for the client, steel, and concrete to establish a sustainability baseline.
Assess and quantify supply chain risks for key materials, with focus on adhesives and timber sourcing.
Identify and recommend material substitutions and sourcing strategies to reduce fossil dependency and improve certification readiness.
