Global Supply Chain Report 2019
A decade of action showing the power in purchasing.
Supply chains wrap around the globe. For decades major corporations have outsourced their environmental impact to other companies - and often countries - in their value chain. But with supply chain emissions 5.5 times more than a company's direct operations, these large corporations are a powerful lever in the transition to a sustainable economy.
10 years ago, 19 companies began to drive action across their supply chains
By asking their suppliers to disclose, measure and act on their environmental impact, these companies began a cascading effect that has the potential to drive down emissions, improve water security and end deforestation.
What began as 19 companies 10 years ago, has now grown to 115 organizations wielding a combined purchasing power in excess of US$3.3 trillion. 10 years ago, 634 suppliers responded. Last year, that number reached over 5,500, showing the potential for exponential change.
As detailed in CDP's Global Supply Chain Report 2019, suppliers reported a total of 633 MtCO2e in annual emission reductions last year - an amount greater than the emissions of South Korea. This led to a collective cost saving of US$19.3 billion. Meanwhile, with major purchasers now deselecting suppliers based on environmental performance, taking action is no longer an option. And it's increasingly cascading down the supply chain.
However, with only 57% of suppliers reporting emissions reductions activities, just 35% having a structured carbon reduction target, and just 3% of targets in line with what the science says is necessary, those suppliers failing to act sustainably may increasingly see it impact their bottom line.
The data disclosed to CDP reveals 35% growth in targets for water use compared to 2017, but with less than half of companies reporting board-level oversight of water issues - compared to some 69% for climate issues - a lack of governance remains a barrier to further action.
Meanwhile, the number of companies disclosing information to their customers on forest-risk commodities has more than tripled in the last year. Yet just 47% of suppliers reported undertaking a forests-related risk assessment and just 17% have set deforestation related targets. Continued action is needed by both purchasers and their suppliers to drive the change necessary to build a truly sustainable economy.
