Toolkit for Delivering Sustainable Global Value Chains
The transition to a sustainable, green economy is a priority for all businesses and consumers. The frequency and intensity of extreme weather events over the last 12 months is a reminder to us all of the impact of climate change and the need to take action. Global temperatures are rising at a far faster rate than originally envisioned, with species loss also happening at an alarming rate, especially here in the UK.
This toolkit is intended to do just that. It will be a useful reference for companies making the transition to becoming more sustainable, learning from international best practice. It includes a wide range of practical net zero, biodiversity and circular economy case studies and contains SME checklists, reporting frameworks and model contract clauses all of which are designed to support the transition. Key to real progress will be actually implementing these ideas, and others, along the journey towards more sustainable business models and allocation of capital to meet evolving stakeholder demands.
Not taking action is therefore no longer a credible option if we are to reduce risks and costs to our economies and ensure the next generation is given the chance to have a prosperous future and benefit from the opportunities a green economy creates. We’d like to convey a special thank you to all those who have contributed to the toolkit.
