BSR, in partnership with the David and Lucille Packard Foundation, is launching an initiative to assess how to use large corporate supply chains in the food, beverage, and agriculture sector as a "climate wedge" to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As part of this, we will identify key opportunities and outline areas of focus for corporate purchasing decisions, public incentives, and private investment.
The desired impact of the initiative is to inform development of a program that will target reductions of 100 MtCO2e/year (approximately 22 percent of 460 MtCO2e per year total from U.S. farms). We anticipate that key areas of focus will include livestock (230 MtCO2e), especially beef and dairy, and fertilizer practices for row crops (90 MtCO2e).
To launch the initiative, BSR will host an event in New York during Climate Week NYC with select companies, partners, and associations.
As discourse on climate change continues to grow in the political, public, and business spheres, the outstanding question remains: What is the best solution?
BSR is pleased to announce the launch of the Sustainable Air Freight Alliance, a forum for buyers and suppliers alike to collaborate on air freight emissions reduction.
Business ambition was on full display at COP24. Here are some key takeaways.
