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.

Journey to Net Zero

The climate challenge is growing and European regulations are changing rapidly. Organisations need to think ahead and take targeted action. In this learning network, you join forces with other pioneers. You will translate ambitions into effective actions and, supported by a scientific framework, work towards a well-founded and future-proof net-zero strategy.
