ESG Bites: Supplier Engagement 101 – Accelerating decarbonisation through the value chain

Corporate Citizenship, part of SLR would like to invite you to our webinar on 18th July focused on developing an effective supplier engagement strategy. As companies are increasingly seeking opportunities to address their indirect environmental impacts, we will share a 6-step approach to create a roadmap of engagement which will help achieve supplier-related environmental targets.

Developing a credible environmental strategy increasingly requires companies to go beyond addressing their own direct impacts and take responsibility for their broader value chain. For most companies, their supply chain will represent a major part of these indirect impacts: for example, supply chain GHG emissions are estimated by CDP to be 11.4 times higher than a company’s direct operational emissions.

In this webinar, we will outline our 6-step approach to developing a supplier engagement strategy that will align with a company’s business goals and support the achievement of supply chain-related environmental targets, from increased data gathering through to performance management. While the overall process may be applied to different environmental impact areas, we will provide a worked example of how this can apply in practice to address supply chain GHG emissions, and support broader corporate scope 3 reduction targets focused on suppliers.
