10When striking new deals with

suppliers , the implementation of sustainability clauses is becoming more common . These clauses create legally binding commitments , such as emission reduction goals , aligning supplier actions with company sustainability objectives . Regular reviews and compliance checks ensure clarity across the supply chain . Microsoft , for example , mandates suppliers reduce emissions by 55 % ( Scope 1 , 2 and 3 ) from a 2019 baseline to meet its carbon reduction targets , reinforcing sustainability throughout its supply chain .
