Enabling Suppliers to Act on Climate Change Companies are no longer being judged only by what happens within their direct control. Stakeholders increasingly want to know about indirect impacts as well and many want to see clear goals and a pathway for improvement that includes near-term action. Managing supply chain impacts is critical to managing one's own reputation and resilience, and with upstream value chain emissions making up 92% of companies’ total emissions footprint on average, it’s the largest opportunity many companies have to decarbonize. A company's purchasing power can be an incredible motivator, and it’s critical that businesses leverage this powerful force for change. The world needs more companies to offer zero-carbon products and compete based on their sustainable practices. So speak up and use your customer voice! Tell your suppliers that you will prioritize working with companies that are taking bold action on climate change, then show them that you're serious. You might just catalyze change across a whole organization - and maybe even across their supply chain as well. 2 | Salesforce.com/sustainability
