TESTIMONIALS

The 1.5°C Supply Chain Leaders share their experiences and resources openly through the 1.5°C Supplier Engagement Guide. The guide is a freely accessible resource for companies seeking to reduce GHG emissions in their supply chains, to halve emissions by 2030 towards Net Zero. It specifically addresses one critical component of supply chain decarbonization: engaging suppliers to take climate action.
