Sustainability framework, the
value chain view

2. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information
Architecture
The sustainability framework illustrates and structures what supply
chain related knowledge that need to be available as formal data
order to digitally manage sustainability.
Each brick in the framework covers one aspect of the data foundation
needed to ensure “sustainability”.
Building a strong sustainability chain requires having data in every
brick under control

This document focuses on the “Value chain” brick
Value chains

6. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information
Architecture
Value chains describe where material, parts and complete products
comes from, how those materials are processed and who is involved
across the nodes in the chain.

8. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information
Architecture
A “Value chain” is a chain of chains
Managing digital facts for your own value chain enables a basic level of
sustainability control.
Managing digital facts for connected value chains, the value chains that you value
chain interacts with enables the next level.

Architecture
Each node in the value chain interacts with other value chains

10. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information

How does you product fit into your
customers value chain?
How does your suppliers value chain fit
into your value chain?
How does your product fit into your
customers product?
How does your suppliers product fit into
your product?
Understand the ecosystem
Product optimization,
total sustainability performance
(do as much good as possible)
Value chain optimization,
total sustainability weight
(cause as little damage as possible)

11. ECSCIA, European Centre of Supply Chain Information
Architecture
Value chains are a brick in the sustainability framework but they are also entry points to sustainability
frame works in each node of the value chain. Each node in the value chain might expand into its own
framework. Data cross all needs to be consistent and harmonised

Nailing down “Sustainability” in the
value chain requires putting facts
on the “3Cs” : Compounds,
Compliance and CO2 The
“3Cs”

Who are the

How are things
produced in the
chain?
What material and
substances are used
in the chain?
What compliance
rules apply and how
are those adhered
across the chain?
Sustainability

What are the nodes
in the chain?
What are the
weights within and
between nodes in
the chain?

So, in short; “Digital representation of sustainability across value chains requires”:
- Digital partner/stakeholder data
- Digital representation of operations cross the chain (and dependent chains)
- Digital representation of product structures, compounds and substances
- Digital representation of compliance rule
- Digital representation of adherence to those compliance rules
- Digital representation of weights
- Digital representation of (energy) weights
