McDonald’s, Post Holdings, and PUMA recently joined the Supplier Leadership on Climate Transition (Supplier LOCT), a collaborative program launched designed to accelerate progress toward science-based greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets across supply chains.
Supplier LOCT partners sponsor the participation of their suppliers in a seasonal series of six instructional seminars on developing a GHG footprint, setting a science-based target, adopting GHG abatement measures, and disclosing progress and renewable energy options. The goal is to
advance supplier action by 2025.
“Accelerating climate action requires stronger collaboration,” Jan Vrins, Guidehouse partner and sustainability lead, said. “Supplier LOCT is a one-of-a-kind program that offers the world’s leading brands a chance to come together in partnership and drive rapid supply chain decarbonization as we transition to a clean and more sustainable ecosystem. We are all in this together, and must take collective action to protect our planet for future generations.”
Guidehouse is a global consulting and managed services provider to commercial and public sector clients. It provides Supplier LOCT partners with mentoring and actionable steps to build internal capacity.
Supplier LOCT now has 24 partner companies. Partners include The Clorox Company, The Coca-Cola Company, The Estée Lauder Companies, General Mills, Ocean Spray, and Yum! Brands.
