Many leading organizations now recognize that the impact of their supply chains on the environment may be an order of magnitude greater than that of their direct operations. For a great number of companies, the supply chain can represent between 40-60% of their carbon footprint and for retailers this figure can be as high as 80%. While customers and consumers increasingly hold the brands at the top of these chains accountable for reducing the adverse impacts within them, the brands realize that they cannot reduce these impacts alone. Hence the dual rhetoric from companies: on the one hand, calling for near-term collaboration from their suppliers and, on the other, (56% of the CDP group) saying that in future they will deselect suppliers who fail to manage carbon. So the motivation for companies to work together is strong.
