Abstract

As we discuss in this book, business sustainability requires firms to develop and to adopt an integrated supply network which is committed to sustainability in order to mitigate risks and to create business value. In particular, environmental sustainability becomes a critical factor in management of the supply chain and the supply network because of the environmental impacts created along its network. While climate change now seems inevitable, there are increasingly high levels of uncertainty about the magnitude of its impacts. One thing is very clear: climate change will have a multiplier effect on supply chain risks. For example, in the autumn of 2011, an unusually intense monsoon season in Thailand caused floods which inundated more than 1,000 factories in the central region of the country. This flood severely disrupted the global supply of computer hard drives due to the concentration of assembly plants in the region. The global computer manufacturers who are the major buyers of hard drives (for example, Acer, Hewlett Packard, and Lenovo) were forced to cut their fourth-quarter sales between 5% and 10% due to delayed delivery, assembly, production and increased prices.

According to Huang et al. (2009) Scope 1 carbon emissions from an industry are only 14% of the total upstream supply chain, and the sum of carbon emissions from Scope 1 and Scope 2, on average, only 26% of total upstream supply chain.

Arguably, the GHG Protocol has an ‘all or nothing’ approach. That is, the equity approach avoids the notion of operational control, which is of great importance for implementing emissions measures. Also environmental performance data characterize the output of corporate/industrial processes, whereas financial information describes economic performance based on specific recognition and measurement policies.

The term, ‘verification’ is often used interchangeably with the term assurance. 2013 Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)’s external assurance of sustainability reports defines that verification is an independent evaluation process to provide expert third party assessment of information.

The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) is a not-for-profit organization, founded in 2000 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom, which works with shareholders and corporations to disclose the greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) of major corporations. As disclosure of emission-related data is CDP’s primary activity, CDP collects comprehensive GHGs data. Since 2008, it has published the emissions data for 1550 of the world’s largest corporations, accounting for 26% of global anthropogenic emissions.
