Tesco is pressuring 400 suppliers to reduce CO₂ emissions

Tesco is enlisting 400 of its key suppliers to reduce the climate impact of its supply chain. To this end, the British supermarket chain is partnering with the French platform OpenClimat, which also counts Carrefour, Metro, and E.Leclerc among its clients.

Greater transparency on emissions

With its new Climate Supplier Program, Tesco aims to better track and reduce CO₂ emissions across its entire supply chain. The retailer is inviting approximately 400 suppliers to share their climate data via OpenClimat. Together, these companies represent more than 80% of the value of Tesco’s food supply chain in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
