As the world works towards a green recovery from COVID-19, a new CDP report explores how buyers and suppliers are addressing risks from climate change, deforestation, and water security.

Key findings:
- Environmental supply chain risks could cost companies $120 billion in the next 5 years.
- Supply chain emissions are 11.4x higher than operational emissions – double previous estimates.
- Buyers are increasingly demanding transparency and action from suppliers to tackle environmental impacts in supply chains.
- Suppliers cut emissions by 619 mtCO2, but they must now engage their own value chains on climate, deforestation & water risks.
