Training and guidance for Suppliers to drive Climate actions
Acting on climate change has never been more important. For effective change, and ultimately reaching part of our decarbonization targets and responsible sourcing strategies, we need global engagement based on Concept4 sourcing footprints of the countries (e.g., Mainland China and others sourcing countries dominant to our turnovers) so that emissions from all parts of the value chain will be reduced.
