Brands' carbon targets are moving down the supply chain step by step. Where can manufacturers start?
International brands are making carbon commitments and asking suppliers to disclose and reduce emissions too. For manufacturers, this is pressure, but also a chance to win orders.
A three-stage path
- Understand where you are: complete a greenhouse gas inventory
- Set targets: define reduction goals suited to your industry
- Keep improving: adopt energy-saving equipment and renewable energy
Combined with government energy-saving and low-carbon grants, the upfront cost of transformation can be reduced significantly.
