A.T. Kearney Is Selected by the Carbon Disclosure Project to Develop the CDP Supply Chain Report 2010

The CDP has surveyed hundreds of key suppliers to its member companies. The objectives of the Supply Chain Report are to raise awareness of the importance of supplier community carbon disclosure as well as to provide CDP member companies with actionable strategies for the successful implementation of a low-carbon supply chain.

Frances Way, head of supply chain for the CDP, said, "We selected A.T. Kearney to execute the 'CDP Supply Chain Report 2010,' because of its leadership position in both supply chain and sustainability. A.T. Kearney's expert analysis for the 2010 Supply Chain Report will provide tangible insights for our members."

The CDP Supply Chain Report is the first initiative to bring together the huge purchasing power of global corporations to provide a standard reporting model for suppliers to advance carbon disclosure in the supply chain.

Daniel Mahler, A.T. Kearney partner and global sustainability practice leader, said, "A.T. Kearney is pleased to be working with the CDP on the 'Supply Chain Report 2010.' The CDP is the preeminent global organization focused on the management of carbon emissions. It is critical that major corporations address the carbon output generated by their global supply chains. We believe the 'Supply Chain Report 2010' will raise awareness of this critical issue with suppliers as well as provide CDP member companies with the tools they need to manage the carbon footprint of their supply base."
