Just Transitions in Supply Chains

The document advocates for the integration of environmental, economic, and social impact governance within corporate supply chains to manage the risks associated with the transition to net-zero economies. It defines a just transition as promoting sustainable economies in a fair and inclusive manner that ensures decent work and leaves no one behind. To achieve this, the authors provide five recommendations for businesses: increasing awareness of social and climate risks, enhancing supply chain transparency, integrating just transition principles into risk management, leveraging public sector market demand, and supporting SMEs through capacity building and finance.

• Companies that incorporate environmental, economic, and social impact governance into their supply chains are more resilient and better equipped to handle climate change risks and the effects of transitioning to net-zero, sustainable economies.
• A just transition in the context of the shift toward a climate-resilient economy involves promoting sustainable economies that are fair and inclusive, providing decent work, and ensuring no one is left behind.
• The authors propose five specific recommendations for businesses to enhance supply chain sustainability and resilience: improving awareness of social and climate risks, increasing transparency, integrating just transition principles into risk management, creating public sector market demand, and supporting SMEs with finance and capacity building.
