Supply chain makes up anywhere between 40 to 80% of an organisation's carbon footprint so engaging supply chains is a pre-condition of successful carbon reduction in any industry.
But isolated and ad-hoc action is insufficient to make a dent in the scale of emissions across an entire industry.
This network's response is to promote collaborative action through well established and efficient industry communities that routinely share supply chain information and insights.
The sponsor Achilles Group Ltd. is the facilitator of 30 such industry communities in eights sectors globally.
These communities beginning with the Utilities sector supply chain in the UK have started to measure, manage and reduce their carbon emissions according to an internationally harmonised standard called CEMARS (certified emissions measurement and reduction scheme).
This network will help all those interested in leveraging collaborative action in the pursuit of carbon reduction to: find a suitable community to join; gain insights into measurement, management and reduction of carbon emissions; keep up to date with emerging international standards and share learning in a cross-sector global network.
