Osai

Osai Automation Systems S.p.A. is an Italian company founded in 1991, operating globally in the design and assembly of machines and complete lines for automation and testing of semiconductors.


The company has chosen to actively embrace the UN Sustainable Development Goals, drawing inspiration from the 2030 Agenda to integrate economic, social and environmental sustainability into its business model.

The context

Osai sits at the top of highly branched supply chains.

 

Decarbonization does not concern only heavy industries: a low-emission economy requires the involvement of the entire value chain, all the way to the end consumer.

 

It was therefore essential to build a structured emissions inventory and define concrete reduction actions.

The objectives

Building a complete inventory of greenhouse gas emissions and defining an effective decarbonization plan, with particular focus on Scope 3, which represents the largest share of overall emissions.

Circularity's intervention

We supported Osai in mapping emissions according to the three Scopes set out by international standards:
1
Scope 1: direct emissions generated by the combustion of fossil fuels within the company
2
Scope 2: indirect emissions resulting from the purchase of electrical or thermal energy
3
Scope 3: indirect emissions linked to the procurement of goods and services

For Osai, Scope 1 and 2 presented limited values and accurate primary data, with relatively simple reduction approaches to implement.

 

Scope 3, on the other hand, accounted for the majority of overall emissions and required a multi-level strategy.


We therefore developed a supplier engagement plan, focusing efforts on partners associated with the most impactful raw materials and with a sufficient level of maturity to ensure greater transparency about their environmental impacts.

The results

Osai now has a complete inventory of greenhouse gas emissions and a structured decarbonization plan, with a strategic focus on Scope 3.


The company has defined intervention priorities along the supply chain, identifying the key suppliers on which to concentrate reduction actions and laying the foundations for a more transparent dialogue on environmental topics.

  • Complete GHG inventory across all three Scopes
  • Defined and actionable decarbonization plan
  • Tailored supplier engagement strategy
  • Greater awareness of impacts along the value chain
