Linking to Your Supply Chain: Engaging Small & Medium-Sized Suppliers
Description
Supply chain decarbonization is quickly emerging as the next frontier in pursuing sustainability targets. Corporates are increasingly asking their suppliers — many that are small- and medium-sized businesses — to reduce their emissions and purchase renewable electricity. However, suppliers face a multitude of obstacles in meeting these asks, including cost, resource and size constraints, operational risk, and unfamiliarity with renewable electricity purchasing options. Fortunately, there are many ways companies can support their suppliers, from providing education on renewables to purchasing renewables themselves and passing along EACs. Join the conversation to discuss how corporates can support and encourage their support their small- and medium-sized to take action on renewable electricity.
