ERM Webinar: How to make supply chain decarbonization happen

About the webinar Hide

The second session of the series will focus on How to make supply chain decarbonization happen. Our speakers will explore how chemical and pharmaceutical companies are looking to their supply chains as a key means to deliver on their climate goals and commitments.

Companies are increasingly concerned with the sustainability impacts of their supply chains and conscious of the power they have to influence supplier behavior and performance. Our panel will discuss how the drive for more detailed and accurate Scope 3 footprints is leading businesses to engage more deeply with suppliers and the role that sustainable energy technologies play in supply chain decarbonization.
