Supply chain decarbonization: The missing link to net zero

Over
the
last
seven
decades,
global
carbon
emissions
have
increased
almost
eightfold. Meanwhile,
since
1980,
the
planet’s

average
temperature
has
risen
significantly
,
with
nine
out
of
10
warmest
years
on
record
having
been
in
the
last
nine
years.For
sustainable
development,
it
is
now
widely
agreed
that
we
must
achieve
a
shared
global
goal
of
cutting
carbon
emissions
by
45%
in
the
next
20
years
from
2010
levels.   

The
good
news
is
that
businesses
have
started
responding
actively.
More
than
100
companies
worldwide
have
pledged
100%
use
of
renewables.
Food
companies
have
set
a
goal
to
reverse
forest
loss
and
land
degradation
by
2030.
And
more
than
30
financial
institutions
with
global
assets
worth
$8.7
trillion
have
pledged
to
avoid
investing
in
any
business
that
can
be
held
responsible
for
deforestation.  

Making
such
a
pledge
is
one
thing—finding
ways
to
measure,
track,
and
implement
it
is
entirely
another.
Pledges
like
the
ones
above,
for
instance,
mean
tracking
data
on
the
deforestation
impact
of
ingredients
such
as
soya,
palm,
cocoa,
and
coffee,
which
many
consumer
goods
and
retail
businesses
use
in
their
food
and
personal
care
products.  

To
evaluate
how
effectively
enterprises
are
managing
their
sustainability
imperatives,
TCS
and
Microsoft
worked
together
to
research
and
analyze
publicly
available
data.
We
found
that
irrespective
of
size
and
revenue,
enterprises
are
becoming
increasingly
conscious
of
sustainability.
However,
they
are
struggling
to
measure
the
true
value
of
decarbonization
efforts
in
their
supply
chains.
By
improving
the
quality
of
global
supply
chain
data,
enterprises
can
better
measure
their
true
carbon
footprint—and
ultimately
help
find
the
missing
link
to
a
net-zero
business
ecosystem.
