What You Need to Know about Climate and Clean Energy Goals
Large technology companies such as Microsoft have set ambitious goals for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which require drastically reducing emissions in their supply chains. To drive progress, they prioritize working with suppliers that have low emissions themselves and strive to ensure that only clean energy is used to produce their goods and services.
What this resource paper includes:
Three major types of climate requirements that large tech companies have issued to their suppliers
An emerging industry standard for each type of requirement, going beyond any single tech customer
A recommended roadmap to help tech suppliers meet these expectations
Common pitfalls to avoid, related to timing, data quality, and timing
Summary
This paper is designed to help companies meet this year’s deadline for Meta, closely followed by clean energy deadlines in 2029 and 2030 (for Google and Microsoft) as well as Microsoft’s 55% emissions reduction goal. With these timelines coming up quickly, suppliers should act now.
