Description
This report showcases the opportunity that all companies have for huge climate impact through action to decarbonise global supply chains.
Addressing supply-chain emissions enables many customer-facing companies to impact a volume of emissions several times higher than they could if they were to focus on decarbonising their own direct operations and power consumption alone – and achieving a net-zero supply chain is possible with very limited additional costs.
Key findings:
- Many companies can multiply their climate impact by decarbonising supply chains
- Eight supply chains account for more than 50% of global emissions
- Net-zero supply chains would hardly increase end-consumer costs
- Decarbonising supply chains is hard.
