The Sustainable Supply Chain Hub offers a a cohort-based platform that combines investment, procurement incentives, and supplier action to co-create and scale practical, bankable decarbonization solutions to achieve scalable, self-sustaining Scope 3 reductions.
Global supply chains are under growing pressure to cut Scope 3 (value chain) greenhouse gas emissions, the largest share of most companies’ carbon footprint. But many companies, especially in emerging markets, face challenges engaging suppliers, aligning incentives, and integrating climate goals into procurement and investment.
The Sustainable Supply Chain Hub (SSCH) offers a new, collaborative model: a cohort-based platform that combines investment, procurement incentives, and supplier action to co-create and scale practical, bankable decarbonization solutions. This approach enables industries to achieve scalable, self-sustaining Scope 3 reductions.
Although just beginning, the Sustainable Supply Chain Hub has already had significant impact. Since December 2024, SSCH has brought together leading automotive brands, suppliers, and industry partners to accelerate collaborative decarbonization. Through targeted mentoring, peer exchange, and project co-creation, the project is driving practical Scope 3 solutions across the sector.
Through peer networking, case sharing, and project co-creation. Participants have also explored over 40 real-world decarbonization cases
Engaged in SSCH—including 6 major automotive brands and 12 key suppliers.
Co-created with project partners and participants
“This SSCH co-creation camp is like a martial arts assembly. People come from different industries and schools, and everyone has unique skills. Although some people are veterans and some have been in this field for a shorter time, the dual carbon cause must be combined with different industries. No one dares to say that they have been very successful in one field and can definitely succeed in another field. So this time, everyone is not competing with each other, but truly and openly exchanging ideas. Like everyone else, I feel that time flies. I feel like I have gained 10 years of experience. In the co-creation, we have an integrated team, real problems, innovative solutions, and supportive mentors.”
“With the knowledge I have gained from the mentors and peers in the SSCH co-creation cohort project, I have also continuously interacted with our customers and suppliers. We need to continuously drive our value chain to create and deliver value. This is a particularly important message I got from the business model innovation in SSCH co-creation cohort. I am also very happy to have the opportunity to share my experience in green finance. Thank you for such a good platform for everyone to learn together!”
SSCH is dedicated to building a sustainability learning community among brand companies and key supply chain companies. The community will utilize a case-based and “All Teach All Learn” methodology for sharing knowledge and best practices among frontline industrial leaders, who play an essential role in the implementation of cost-effective carbon reduction solutions in factories across the supply chain. SSCH will further facilitate the networks of learning communities among companies and multi-stakeholders, increasing ecosystem cooperation, capacity, and productivity on Scope 3 carbon reduction in supply chains.
By collaborating with partners, SSCH promotes a cohort-based carbon reduction learning community that focuses on transformation of knowledge to action. Each cohort lasts for an average of three months, combining online and in-person learning. Around 30 managers from both brand and supply chain companies will be brought together to co-create projects, supported by industrial mentorship, to
sustainable supply chain learning communities
