Turning Up Clean Energy in Asia: Slashing Scope 3 Emissions in China

China’s impact on global supply chains is unparalleled, so decarbonizing the businesses that set up shop in that country — from fashion sector leaders like Decathlon to food & beverage behemoths like Budweiser – is paramount to meeting international energy targets. In the third episode of this series, you’ll hear about the different strategies the CSP team in China is using to slash Scope 3 emissions, which typically make up a majority of a corporation’s carbon footprint.  WRI China researchers laid out a sector-wide blueprint to begin their science-based decarbonization journey and partnered with major brands to model a new strategy for increasing renewable energy use up and down supply chains. Pairing the economic influence of big companies with the ambition of small businesses that make up their supply chain is a replicable recipe to reduce emissions... rapidly.  Episode Host: - Wenquan Zhang - WRI China Research Associate Episode Guests: - Mofan Zhang - WRI China Research Analyst - Anthony Wei - Decathlon’s North Asia Zone Sustainability Director - Terry Yao - Budweiser's Sustainability & Agriculture Development Director of Procurement APAC
