Climate change is shaping our future in many different ways. It is opening new approaches in financing activities too, as investing in projects that aim at reducing the carbon footprint of human activities has become increasingly crucial, both for the planet and for businesses. In fact, there are several opportunities in climate investing. Organizations that embrace climate investing can gain a competitive advantage by differentiating themselves from their peers and positioning themselves as leaders in sustainability. In recent years, there has also been a growing trend among banks to incorporate sustainability and climate considerations into their investment decisions.
There is no sustainability strategy that can avoid considering what happens along a company's supply chain. In fact, we know that about 90% of a company's carbon emissions are generated along the supply chain. Despite this, while the number of companies measuring the direct impacts of their operations is increasing, there are still few that measure the impacts associated with everything that happens along the supply chain. This situation is often generated by an undefined and unstructured approach to measuring ESG performance, including unclear governance and accountability, as well as the failure to monitor relevant KPIs. However, failure to monitor supply chain sustainability often comes from the scale of the project. Large companies, for example, are often characterized by long and complex supply chains, which make assessing suppliers’ ESG performance a huge challenge. That is why when it comes to a sustainable supply chain, it is important to rely on the right partners who can help the company deal with all these complexities.
