About this event
As part of the BRC Climate Action Roadmap, we’re working with IBM to help retailers de-risk supply and reduce cost by gaining better visibility of their upstream supply chain.
In partnership with the BRC, IBM has worked with Pets at Home to test and refine a framework that will enable retailers to uncover and report on Scope 3 emissions more accurately across the supply chain, whilst also gaining insight into wider environmental and social risk factors.
Join this exciting webinar with IBM and Pets at Home who will share their insights and learnings from this practical case study, which focused on:
- The importance of supplier maturity assessment
- How technology can facilitate mapping the upstream supply chain
- How to uncover, mitigate, and report on the ESG impacts of supply chains
