The Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC), whose members include major international electronics brands such as Apple, Dell, and IBM, recently partnered with the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) to promote greenhouse gas reporting and reduction across the electronics industry supply chain. The EICC becomes the first industry coalition globally to collaborate with the CDP supply chain initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The EICC will encourage all companies in the electronics industry supply chain to disclose their own greenhouse gas emissions by completing the CDP (Consumer Technology Development Program) supply chain questionnaire. This allows EICC members to identify greenhouse gas emission hotspots in their manufacturing processes and seek measures for emission reduction and environmental improvement. The EICC points out that collaborating with the CDP supply chain will reach the source of the electronics industry supply chain, driving energy conservation and carbon reduction across the entire industry chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All companies in the supply chain will complete the CDP questionnaire independently, and their scores will be aggregated using the CDP scoring methodology. The purpose of these scores is to establish industry baselines and identify the leading companies with the best greenhouse gas performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The CDP questionnaire is open from April 1st to July 31st each year. This year, the EICC and CDP plan to jointly release a report on greenhouse gas trends in the electronics industry and assist EICC members in establishing greenhouse gas inventory lists for their product supply chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the EICC\u2019s annual report, as of 2013, more than 81% of EICC members had reviewed their greenhouse gas emissions for three consecutive years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
