This phased methodology builds long-term competitiveness, particularly during periods of market volatility.
“ What we also see is that suppliers who engage early gain a clear competitive advantage,” Christophe adds.“ Many participating in The Zero Carbon Project have been measuring and reducing emissions for several years, putting them well ahead as disclosure requirements increase. In times of volatility, including energy crises, those who have optimised consumption or transitioned to renewables are consistently more resilient.
