The Business Case for Supply Chain Energy Efficiency

In this video, learn about the business case for investing in supply chain energy efficiency, which includes three elements:

Working with suppliers on energy management can help them succeed financially in the future.
Today, more investors and customers are demanding supply chain transparency about climate impacts.
Companies and suppliers can save money and resources by working together on waste-reduction projects.

We also outline the new game-changing standard, dubbed “Scope 3,” for accounting and reporting of GHG emissions in the supply chain, and show why supply chain energy and GHG management is especially relevant today.
