This episode focuses on carbon accounting and the central part supply chains play in reaching net zero. For an average business, around ninety per cent of emissions lie in its supply chain, which is the main reason many companies are falling short of their targets.
The discussion stresses that carbon must be made visible and actionable before it can be reduced. It also considers how smaller suppliers can be drawn in. Their main obstacle is said to be limited resources and know-how rather than disinterest, so surveys paired with practical calculation tools can help. Examples include one company electrifying its vehicle fleet and another substituting materials. The conversation ends with the role of governments and financial incentives in steering business.
