At the recent United Nations COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, diplomats from nearly 200 countries struck a major agreement to increase the fight against climate change — establishing a consensus that more must be done to protect the planet. It’s a connected chain. Be selective with suppliers. According to the?

C without nature.
At the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow in 2021, 145 countries – representing 90% of the worlds forests – signed a deforestation pledge, committing to halt and reverse global deforestation by 2030. At COP26, the UN also set a deadline for companies and financial institutions to eliminate commodity-driven deforestation by 2025.
The most recent UN climate conference, COP26, highlighted the role of forests and agriculture in ways we have not seen before. As climate becomes everyone’s responsibility, companies with significant Scope 3 emissions from soft commodities in their supplychains must account for and mitigate these climate impacts.
The Glasgow Climate Pact , agreed at COP26, stressed ‘the urgency of enhancing ambition and action in relation to mitigation, adaptation and finance in this critical decade’. It also means protecting, managing and restoring nature, coupled with major investments from businesses to reverse nature loss, beyond their value chains.
While all sectors have good reason to start mitigating their impact on nature, today’s investors are most concerned about those with large, global supplychains. Regardless of your sector, investors will at a minimum want to know if you’ve screened your operations and supplychain for biodiversity loss, and what risks you’ve found.
“Major gaps” in traceability, supplier engagement and monitoring highlighted in analysis of disclosures to CDP. An analysis of voluntary submissions by 675 companies to environmental disclosure platform CDP found that 211 businesses had reported forest-related risks of US$79.2 billion across their operations and supplychains.
The Church Commissioners’ COP26 commitment to eliminate soft commodity-driven deforestation from its portfolio will be supported by COP28 pledges. This policy calls on and encourages investee companies to make “quantifiable, time-bound commitments” to eliminate deforestation from their activities and their supplychains.
At COP26, institutions managing more than US$130 trillion in assets committed to reaching a state of net zero before 2050. A 2021 report showed that fewer than half of financial institutions disclosing their emissions through the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) have taken action to align their portfolios with a well below 2°C world.
If you look at the current framework for water reporting which includes the Climate Disclosure Project (CDP), CEO Water Mandate and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) among others, the emphasis is on reporting data but there is not a lot of context to that data.”. Howard says: “We don’t want to replace CDP or GRI; WAVE is complementary.
In a huge step forward for net zero economies and supplychains, the U.S. government – the world’s largest purchaser – proposed that all federal contractors must set science-based targets and disclose their environmental impact through CDP, following in Norway’s recent footsteps. C-aligned science-based targets.
Examples are the Swiss art 964 and the German supplychain act. Moreover, companies will use voluntary frameworks and surveys such as GRI, SASB, CDP, UNGC, and Ecovadis to answer requests from customers, investors and other stakeholders. At COP26 last year, we left with the feeling that businesses were committed to net zero.
“There is potential for cash rich companies in the developed world to fund on-site renewable generation, or lower carbon manufacturing methods within their developing world supplychain. This is not new.
Alongside its many harrowing and destructive impacts, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has provided an unintentional boost to the aims of COP26. Although the finite carbon budget offers a compellingly clear focus for climate action, accurate measurement CO2 emissions across supplychains remains elusive.
Besides, the pandemic has postponed the momentum towards COP26 or climate change movements like Greta Thunberg’s Friday’s for future. In 2020, more than 9,600 companies disclosed their environmental impacts through the non-profit CDP platform. Besides, the global responsible investing driven assets hit $40.5
G7 host Japan is to be the first country to house a dedicated chapter of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), an investor-led climate action coalition created during COP26 in 2021.

Beyond climate.
DESCRIPTION: NEW YORK and PARIS, October 14, 2022 /3BL Media/ — The Consumer Goods Forum’s (CGF) Forest Positive Coalition of Action has released its second Annual Report , sharing the Coalition’s progress on commitments to remove deforestation, forest degradation, and conversion from key commodity supplychains.
The role of forests as carbon sinks and sources of biodiversity is well recognised, but action to clean-up supplychains is slow to reduce deforestation rates. This explainer looks at how investors can encourage companies to remove the products of deforestation from their supplychains.
Ceres, along with its partners, will call on investors, companies, and policymakers to build on the progress since COP26 and turn commitments into even more ambitious actions and implement bold policies in line with the scientific need to limit average temperature rise to no more than 1.5°C.
Therefore, developing a basic map of your emissions in both your operations and in your supplychain should be the first step. Beyond the company’s operations, there are other emissions produced in the supplychain. Moreover, according to CDP, supplychain emissions are on average 11.4
