Corporate supply chain strategy for carbon emissions management
The Carbon Disclosure Project Supply Chain 2010 Report, produced by A.T. Kearney, details climate change information provided by CDP members and their 710 suppliers. Suppliers provided information about greenhouse gas emissions and reduction targets, governance and assessment of risk, and opportunities associated with climate change.
CDP Members are at the forefront of carbon emissions management:
- A majority (63%) have a formal, documented corporate climate change strategy and the remaining (37%) have general guidelines
- They have integrated a carbon policy into their procurement organization and 90% have a reduction plan in place
CDP Members are eager to collaborate with their suppliers:
- 89% have a strategy in place to engage with suppliers on greenhouse gas emissions and climate change
- Within the next 12 months, they expect to significantly increase supplier relationship management processes
- During the next 5 years, the importance of carbon versus classic procurement targets is expected to triple
- Members increasingly are committed to deselecting suppliers who fail to manage carbon – from 6% today, to 56% in the future
About the CDP Supply Chain
Program 2010
The CDP Supply Chain Program is designed to promote information sharing and innovation between CDP Supply Chain Members–companies that have begun to integrate carbon management strategy into their supply chains–and the companies that provide goods and services to them. The CDP members are global companies that have extended their climate change and carbon management strategies beyond their direct corporate boundaries.
Through CDP’s annual Information Request, 44 CDP members have engaged with their suppliers, 710 across different industries around the world.
