With this focus on supplier engagement, the Action Plan aims to accelerate the decarbonization of Scope 3 upstream emissions.
While product design choices can play an important role in mitigating Scope 3 upstream emissions (e.g., by changing the type of input factors or materials that you need for your own products and operations), this Support Hub will focus on engaging and working with suppliers successfully and systematically to support them along their net-zero journey.
Understand the emissions profile of their suppliers to identify and prioritize those suppliers with the biggest impact on Scope 3 emissions.
Officially launch the Action Plan with suppliers to raise awareness of what your company expects suppliers to do by 2028 (i.e., to set Scope 1-3 targets and decarbonize accordingly).
