Data in one place

Supply chain emissions are 11.4x higher than direct operational emissions.
Sustainable Suppliers Lower Business Risk
Low-carbon suppliers = fewer disruptions
Reduced risk of disruptions, non-compliance and hidden costs
Suppliers with strong sustainability practices face fewer regulatory penalties, fewer resource-related disruptions, and are more resilient to future carbon costs.
Climate-related supply chain disruptions can cut company earnings by up to 30%.
ESG-Ready Suppliers Win More Contracts
