From businessgreen.com: “Just 10 per cent of companies are tracking the carbon footprint of their supply chains, according to a major new study from consultancy Accenture. The global survey of almost 250 supply chain executives found that while the majority of firms are now committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from their supply chains, only one in 10 has accurate data on the carbon footprint of different components of their supply chain.
“Moreover, the study found that more than one third of respondents had no awareness of the overall emissions from across their entire supply chain network. However, the survey found that this absence of data is not stopping a growing number of firms from embarking on initiatives to reduce the carbon footprint and energy use of their supply chain infrastructure.” Nine Out of 10 Firms Ignoring Supply Chain Carbon Footprint
