Transparent sourcing, emissions data, and supplier audits — built into your C-parts supply chain
Steelcase, a global leader in commercial furniture manufacturing, committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Meeting that commitment required more than internal process changes — it required a C-parts supply chain that could provide the sustainability transparency, emissions data, and supplier audit trail that their ESG programme demanded.
CSG — through the Bufab Group’s sustainability capabilities — partnered with Steelcase to provide sustainably sourced C-parts with full supply chain transparency. This includes verified emissions data across the supply chain, active supplier sustainability audits, and support for CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) compliance requirements.
For Steelcase, this meant a C-parts partner genuinely invested in sustainability outcomes — not just one that ticks a compliance checkbox. The data and documentation needed to support net-zero reporting are built into the supply relationship.
If your business has sustainability reporting obligations, carbon reduction targets, or ESG procurement policies, CSG can structure your C-parts supply chain to meet them — with the data to prove it.

The Real Cost of a Missing C-Part in Heavy Manufacturing
Fasteners and fittings are a small slice of what a heavy-equipment builder spends, but they cause an outsized share of the headaches. Run short of them and expensive assembly work sits idle. What keeps supply steady is quality you can trace, enough buffer stock and a replenishment routine to avoid running dry, and consolidating the long tail of small parts so procurement is not chasing dozens of tiny suppliers. Our write-up on OEM supply chain strategy digs into how that works, in our guide to OEM supply chain strategy.
