During the recession and the global financial crisis there has been considerable speculation that major corporations would consider abandoning their carbon emissions initiatives. We have found in recent research that A.T. Kearney produced for the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) that this is not correct. Despite the financial crisis, the 44 Supply Chain members of the CDP are intensifying efforts to reduce carbon from their external purchases. This is driven by longer-term business considerations. Supplier performance has also improved since 2009.
However, there remains a major gap between the performance of CDP Members and the majority of their suppliers. Members recognize the importance of the supply chain as a source of their own emissions footprint
