The Next Bold Thing in Corporate Climate Action

Science-based carbon emission reductions and climate targets — goals based on data rather than conjecture — are now used by well over 200 of the world’s largest companies such as Nokia, Unilever or GlaxoSmithKline. And yet, there is perhaps an even larger opportunity for climate action beyond the corporate walls, in the massive spend in their supply chains. This poses a new challenge of how to leverage the influence of this enormous corporate spend that is diffused across global networks in often in less-developed regions, and how to tackle the science-based approach to integrating such targets into supply chain monitoring to drive progress in climate action.
