Carbon Reduction Plan Guidance for Suppliers

This document is a guide for suppliers required to submit a Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) as part of their bidding process for contracts. It outlines the necessity for suppliers to detail their organizational carbon footprint and confirm their commitment to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050. The CRP must be specific to the bidding entity, with conditions for including a parent organization’s emissions. Suppliers are advised to develop their own CRP promptly and update it regularly, ensuring it is published on their website. The document also provides a template for the CRP and emphasizes the importance of leadership approval for the plan. It details the baseline emissions footprint, current emissions reporting, and emissions reduction targets, including initiatives already completed and proposed for future reporting periods. The guide stresses adherence to the GHG Protocol and the importance of transparency in emissions reporting.
