BT calls on procurement standard to cut supply chain CO2 emissions

BT has introduced a climate change procurement standard that will apply to all its suppliers. The initiative includes three "minimum expectations" to be undertaken by all contracted suppliers.

• Firstly the supplier must demonstrate it has a policy in place to address the challenge of climate change.

• Secondly the supplier should be actively measuring and reporting carbon, as well as other relevant green house gas emissions. 
• Finally, the supplier must have in place "challenging targets" to reduce emissions and is reporting on progress.
