Supply chain sustainability consulting starts with knowing what your suppliers need to tell you.
Guidance, resources, and expert consulting for buyers building or improving their supplier sustainability programs.
Supply chain sustainability is now a procurement requirement, a regulatory obligation, and a Scope 3 problem all at once.
The pressure to engage your supply chain on sustainability is coming from multiple directions simultaneously.
Regulations are requiring it
California SB 253 requires Scope 3 reporting starting in 2027. CSRD requires supply chain impact disclosure under double materiality. Both require data your suppliers need to help you produce.
Investors and stakeholders are asking
Credible Scope 3 data and supplier engagement programs are increasingly expected in investor disclosures, ESG ratings, and sustainability reports.
Scope 3 is where most emissions are hidden
For most companies, supply chain emissions are 26 times higher than direct operational emissions. Without supplier engagement, that footprint stays invisible and unmanageable.
More requirements are coming
New York, New Jersey, and Illinois all have legislation built on California's blueprint. The window to build supplier engagement infrastructure before it's urgently needed is closing.
12% per year average reduction
Companies with validated SBTi targets reduced their Scope 1 and 2 emissions by an average of 12% per year between 2020 and 2023, meaningfully ahead of the pace required to meet 1.5°C pathways. Credible targets aren't just paperwork. They drive real reductions.
