Shaping the Path Toward Net Zero Through Supplier Engagement
研究了全球25家企业用于推动供应商减排的五种机制(行为准则、金融工具、数字平台、供应商培训和联合创新),并分析了这些机制在供应链中超越一级供应商的实施情况,对关注供应链脱碳的管理者和学者有参考价值。
In response to the climate crisis, companies are committing to net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Yet decarbonization remains challenging in globally dispersed supply chains, where upstream indirect emissions throughout the value chain (called Scope 3) can be up to 28 times higher than direct emissions. Drawing on data from twenty-five global firms, this article identifies five mechanisms companies use to engage suppliers: codes of conduct, financial instruments, digital platforms, supplier training, and co-innovation. It analyzes these mechanisms and explores the extent to which companies implement them beyond tier 1 suppliers to support the path toward net-zero GHG emissions.
