The window to limit global warming to 1.5°C is closing rapidly. In this scenario, accelerating the decarbonization of industry – responsible for 30% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions – is more urgent than ever. However, the current pace and scale of emissions reduction remain insufficient. While companies are adopting measures to cut emissions, barriers to buy-in, carbon calculation, mitigation across value chains and green business growth hinder their efforts.

The window to limit global warming to 1.5°C is closing rapidly. In this scenario, accelerating the decarbonization of industry – responsible for 30% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions – is more urgent than ever. However, the current pace and scale of emissions reduction remain insufficient. While companies are adopting measures to cut emissions, barriers to buy-in, carbon calculation, mitigation across value chains and green business growth hinder their efforts.

This white paper explores how businesses can overcome these barriers and accelerate the transition to net zero by cooperating more closely with public stakeholders. It introduces a framework of eight opportunities for public-private collaboration, including through public financial mechanisms, facilitating carbon tracking adoption, harmonizing carbon accounting standards, implementing net-zero solutions across value chains and co-investing in climate technologies and market creation. Backed by insights from over 60 senior leaders and 11 global case studies, the framework demonstrates effective strategies for structuring the dialogue between private and public sector stakeholders and serves as a practical roadmap for businesses looking to engage in public-private collaboration to accelerate decarbonization.

By addressing systemic barriers to net zero through collaboration, governments and businesses can drive innovation and advance sustainable economic growth. Weniger anzeigen

Rencontre avec Eric Enselme, co-auteur du livre blanc ‘The No Excuse Framework to Accelerate the Path to Net-Zero Manufacturing and Value Chains’ qui nous éclaire sur les enjeux et défis d’une Supply Chain Net Zero.

This playbook outlines three guiding principles to support manufacturing and supply chain leaders in establishing a culture of cyber resilience throughout their organizations. Over the past decade, manufacturing has been experiencing a swift digital transformation, which is fuelling growth, efficiency and profitability. This trend has also, however, exposed the sector to a wide range of cyberthreats, such that manufacturing has become one of the sectors most targeted by cyberattacks.

This playbook outlines three guiding principles to support manufacturing and supply chain leaders in establishing a culture of cyber resilience throughout their organizations. Over the past decade, manufacturing has been experiencing a swift digital transformation, which is fuelling growth, efficiency and profitability. This trend has also, however, exposed the sector to a wide range of cyberthreats, such that manufacturing has become one of the sectors most targeted by cyberattacks.

As digitalization progresses, the manufacturing sector must prioritize building a robust cyber resilience culture to navigate the growing cyberthreat landscape. To this end, the Centre for Cybersecurity and the Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chains of the World Economic Forum convened a community of cyber leaders from across the manufacturing ecosystem to discuss key challenges and identify best practices. The community developed this playbook outlining three cyber resilience principles, supported by real-world manufacturing use cases to facilitate adoption and effective implementation.

This white paper serves as a practical roadmap for businesses navigating the intricate terrain of Scope 3 decarbonization and accelerating their contributions to global climate efforts.

Scope 3 emissions, which account for more than 70% of industries’ greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, represent a critical challenge. While many companies have set targets to reduce their direct emissions (Scope 1) and emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2), emissions within value chains (Scope 3) remain… Mehr anzeigen

This white paper serves as a practical roadmap for businesses navigating the intricate terrain of Scope 3 decarbonization and accelerating their contributions to global climate efforts.

Scope 3 emissions, which account for more than 70% of industries’ greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, represent a critical challenge. While many companies have set targets to reduce their direct emissions (Scope 1) and emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2), emissions within value chains (Scope 3) remain largely unaddressed. To tackle Scope 3 emissions at a much faster pace, companies need to take responsibility for emissions beyond their immediate operations and make profound changes throughout their products and business models, using emerging technologies and embracing new partnerships across value chains.

This white paper, produced by the World Economic Forum’s Industry Net Zero Accelerator initiative, in collaboration with Cambridge Industrial Innovation Policy (Institute for Manufacturing, University of Cambridge), Capgemini, Rockwell Automation and Siemens, highlights 12 emerging opportunities illustrated with real-world case studies to drive the net-zero transformation of global value chains with “no excuses”.

The increasing adoption of Industry 4.0, characterized by the pervasiveness of digital technologies in manufacturing processes, has opened up new avenues for cybercriminals to exploit.

Recently, there has been a surge in cyberattacks targeting manufacturing, posing not only operational and financial threats but also potentially life-threatening disruptions to critical infrastructure. For manufacturers, the question is no longer if a cyberattack will happen but when.

Reducing Scope 3 emissions is a major challenge in the race towards net zero. Companies worldwide, spurred by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), have made notable strides in mitigating their direct emissions (Scope 1) and those from purchased electricity (Scope 2).

However, decarbonizing Scope 3 emissions — those embedded both upstream and downstream throughout a company’s supply chain and generally account for more than 70% of the industry’s greenhouse gas emissions on average… Mehr anzeigen

However, decarbonizing Scope 3 emissions — those embedded both upstream and downstream throughout a company’s supply chain and generally account for more than 70% of the industry’s greenhouse gas emissions on average — is complex.

Schneider Electric and the World Economic Forum’s Industry Net Zero Accelerator initiative have been exploring how exchanging “product carbon footprint” (PCF) data is a key step towards emissions reduction and holistic product life cycle assessment. Weniger anzeigen

As the urgency to combat climate change and safeguard the environment intensifies, manufacturing and industrial companies worldwide are stepping up their commitment to achieving net zero by 2050 or earlier.

Although many companies have set targets to reduce their direct emissions (Scope 1) and emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2), they have yet to address the indirect greenhouse gas emissions within their upstream and downstream value chains (Scope 3).

As the urgency to combat climate change and safeguard the environment intensifies, manufacturing and industrial companies worldwide are stepping up their commitment to achieving net zero by 2050 or earlier.

Although many companies have set targets to reduce their direct emissions (Scope 1) and emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2), they have yet to address the indirect greenhouse gas emissions within their upstream and downstream value chains (Scope 3).

These emissions account for an average of 70% of the industry's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, making it an important issue that needs to be tackled. Weniger anzeigen

While many companies have started their journey towards achieving net-zero emissions, no company can manage the transformation of its manufacturing facilities and value chains alone if both individual and collective targets are to be achieved. Systemic collaboration across and between value chains is fundamental to align and upgrade corporate strategies and industrial policies.
