New partnership leverages consulting expertise and actionable data to help companies move from strategy to real emissions reduction.

ctrl+s and H&Z partnership for supplier decarbonization

At the Sustainability Summit 2025 in Hamburg, ctrl+s and H&Z Consulting officially announced a strategic partnership designed to accelerate Scope 3 decarbonization across industrial supply chains.

By combining ctrl+s’s supplier-focused carbon data engine with H&Z’s deep expertise in procurement and transformation, the two companies now offer an integrated solution: one that turns carbon ambition into measurable action — without increasing complexity for sustainability teams.

What This Means for Industrial Sustainability Teams

The collaboration makes Scope 3 execution more operational, especially for companies with large, complex supplier networks.

With this partnership:

H&Z will embed item+s data from ctrl+s into their client workflows — enabling faster carbon hotspot detection and better alignment across procurement and sustainability.

ctrl+s will support supplier onboarding, data processing, and emissions reduction through its platform, enabling real traction beyond Tier 1.

“H&Z is a trusted partner for many of Europe’s leading industrial companies. We’re excited to join forces — combining their consulting expertise with our decarbonization platform to help clients accelerate Scope 3 execution.” — Moritz Nill, CEO at ctrl+s

“Glad to team up with ctrl+s to make Scope 3 actionable. Too many plans stop at ambition — we focus on execution. Smart data meets real supplier engagement.”  — Sven Steinert, Partner & Head of Sustainability Advisory at H&Z

Sealing a shared mission: ctrl+s and H&Z join forces to drive measurable emissions reduction across supplier networks.

Why It Matters Now

Many companies have already set climate targets. But executing these targets — especially when it comes to Scope 3 supplier emissions — remains a major bottleneck. This partnership solves for that gap:

• Actionable supplier data, not just emissions estimates.
• Operational traction, not just roadmaps.
• Faster internal buy-in, thanks to clear diagnostics and supplier enablement.

This partnership marks an important step in ctrl+s’s go-to-market expansion, further embedding its platform in the consulting-led sustainability journeys of industrial and manufacturing clients.
