Managing climate risk and mitigating the impacts of climate change requires companies to reduce emissions in their own operations and their global supply chains. Recognizing this, companies have transformed their approach to environmental management by moving from a low-level of visibility and short-term internal goals to setting forward-looking public targets and collaborating on ambitious climate action with their suppliers. Join CDP as we discuss 10 years of emissions management in supply chains and hold an in-depth workshop on science-based targets where we will share the latest updates to SBTi criteria and resources. We will also explore how ambitious climate commitments like RE100, EP100 and EV100 are essential in achieving these ambitious climate goals and in driving the economy wide low-carbon transition.
