Decarbonised Supply Chains
On average, supply chain emissions are more than 11 times higher than a company’s direct emissions. In other words, Scope 3 plays a key role in any decarbonisation journey. In this community of practice, you will exchange with peers and experts on tangible strategies to mobilise suppliers and reduce emissions on a large scale.
Why participate?
Through peer-led discussions and case-based learning, participants set the agenda, develop solutions and refine their strategies in a supportive, high-impact setting.
Build on shared expertise and learn from experts and peers from other industries, discuss case studies and collaborate on solutions to complex Scope 3 challenges.
Develop a clear plan, based on recent climate science, to engage suppliers, standardise data and enable large-scale reductions.
Learn how circular models and C-level buy-in make your supply chain more structurally sustainable and competitive.
