Supply-chain decarbonization will be a « game changer » for the impact of corporate climate action. Addressing Scope 3 emissions is fundamental for companies to realize credible climate change commitments

Challenges for the railway industry
Rail transport contributes to the sustainability transition, by offering one of the most environmentally friendly ways of transporting passengers and goods, while maintaining a fast service and a cost-effective approach.
Compliance to existing regulations
-
Stringent regulations on material traceability like REACh & RoHS, WEEE decrlarations and Environmental Product Declarations for public tenders, and Sustainable Product Initiative
-
50+ Regulations & Initiatives adopted over the past 2 years
It's all about scope 3: upstream & downstream activities
Supply chain is a big contributor of carbon emissions Part of carbon footprint (scope 3) reduction implies product design changes. Waste is valuable and should lead to recycling loops for plastic, batteries, composites, materials & electronics - thanks to new industrial alliances
Materials & components
Steel prices have risen by 50% since the beginning of 2021 while copper prices have risen by nearly 10% in December 2020. For example, current semi-conductors scarcity illustrates the short/mid-term challenge to access materials resources
