Global Supply Chain Report 2022

With wide-ranging rules likely to be enforced this decade following agreements, including at COP15, companies need to engage their suppliers now on nature and climate to avoid falling behind.

A small but growing group of companies are trailblazing a path to truly meaningful environmental action, but they are in the minority
CDP Supply Chain members, over 200 major companies representing US$5.5 trillion in procurement spend, requested 23,487 suppliers to disclose in 2021. The responding suppliers reported that engagement from these members drove 231 million tons of emissions reduction initiatives.

A small but growing group of companies are trailblazing a path to truly meaningful environmental action, but they are in the minority
CDP Supply Chain members, over 200 major companies representing US$5.5 trillion in procurement spend, requested 23,487 suppliers to disclose in 2021. The responding suppliers reported that engagement from these members drove 231 million tons of emissions reduction initiatives.

However, most companies are not engaging with their suppliers on climate change, water security, and deforestation.

Only 38% of companies who disclosed in 2021 engage with suppliers on climate change. This drops even further to 16% when looking at water security. Just 47% of downstream companies (traders, manufacturers, retailers) are working beyond their first-tier suppliers to manage and mitigate deforestation risks. Show less

With the December 12 2015 completion of the Paris Agreement on climate change and widespread corporate engagement in the negotiations, the world may be turning a corner in its effort to address climate change. Nonetheless, risks to businesses and society continue to grow. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and global temperatures will continue to rise as governments try to establish regulatory mechanisms to ratchet down emissions and stay well below a 2°C increase in mean temperatures. It is in… Show more

With the December 12 2015 completion of the Paris Agreement on climate change and widespread corporate engagement in the negotiations, the world may be turning a corner in its effort to address climate change. Nonetheless, risks to businesses and society continue to grow. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and global temperatures will continue to rise as governments try to establish regulatory mechanisms to ratchet down emissions and stay well below a 2°C increase in mean temperatures. It is in this context that CDP and the 75 member organizations, which comprise the CDP supply chain program, continue to gather data on climate risks and resilience in their supply chains. Upstream GHG emissions are, on average, more than twice those of
a company’s operational emissions, which makes it critical to build climate resilience into supply chains. Show less

Climate change is once again rising up the global agenda. Physical climate,
regulatory and consumer preference changes expose supply chains to
growing levels of climate risk. Uneven responses among suppliers present
threats and opportunities for companies at the top of supply chains.
This year’s supply chain program involved 66 corporations with $1.3 trillion in
procurement spend. They requested that their suppliers disclose information
on how they are approaching climate and… Show more

This year’s supply chain program involved 66 corporations with $1.3 trillion in
procurement spend. They requested that their suppliers disclose information
on how they are approaching climate and water risks and opportunities,
generating the largest ever set of such data, from 3,396 companies worldwide,
up from 2,868 in 2013. Show less

More multinationals and their suppliers than ever before now use CDP to achieve sustainable supply chain management. Written by Accenture, the CDP Global Supply Chain Report 2014, ‘Collaborative Action on Climate Risk’, contains a wealth of information on how leading companies are managing the significant risk that climate change poses to the globalised supply chain model. For the first time ever, this report combines analysis of climate change and water related information disclosed by… Show more
