Key themes

How can supplier GHG accounting and measurement better support customers’ emissions measurement and reduction?

How can indirect purchasers compel accurate reporting from suppliers over whom they have very little control or leverage?

How can customers protect against harm, and support benefit, to frontline communities impacted by the climate crisis or by supplier GHG reduction strategies?

How can purchasers collaborate to obtain meaningful data from shared suppliers and ensure reduction and mitigation measures are not double counted?

How can GHG accounting move beyond broad-based economic models to more specific information that supports localized supplier engagement and action?

Is single-sector or materials-based accounting the only way to effectively address suppliers’ production-phase emissions?
