SC Supply chain

Module Overview

The SC module is for companies responding to the CDP climate change questionnaire at the request of one or more customers, who are members of CDP’s supply chain program. This module has been developed following consultation with both suppliers and the member companies that are their customers. It provides further context to buyers regarding the procedures adopted and/or actions taken by their suppliers.

Organizations benefit from disclosing by increasing transparency and engaging with their buyers to further develop their sustainability. The information disclosed here builds on information that CDP supply chain members are particularly interested in elsewhere in the climate change questionnaire.

Emissions located in the supply chain are around four times as high as those from direct operations. To meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, action at every level of the supply chain is needed.

Please note that your response to the SC module is not scored.
