Telecom giants dial up the heat on suppliers: It's not you, it's your CO2

A telecoms industry body focused on corporate social responsibility has called for all companies to take action to reduce carbon dioxide emissions - so-called Scope 3 emissions - across their entire value chain.

In a self-congratulatory detail, JAC reckons a survey it commissioned showed that 93 percent of JAC members had committed to net-zero or science-based actions to reduce their emissions, compared to just 43 percent of the Forbes 2000, a list of the top publicly traded companies in the world. For this reason, the webinars were intended to address concerns and opportunities in the industry and JAC members set out practical guidance to improve engagement between global organizations and their suppliers for the purposes of reducing the overall carbon footprint.
