The decarbonisation of supply chains is not only an ecological necessity, but also a decisive factor for the long-term success of a company. Many companies have developed transparency about their Scope 3 emissions along the supply chain and set targets. The MasterClass builds on this and discusses the question of how the real implementation of decarbonisation measures along the supply chain can succeed in the next step. What does it take to successfully decarbonise the supply chain? How do we get suppliers on board? What examples of successful decarbonisation are there?
