Dear John,

A recent upswing in Chinese government environmental inspections and enforcement has proven highly effective in reducing emissions from big polluters, but has also led to unexpected factory closures and supply chain disruptions.

To facilitate proactive oversight of factories in their country, the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs (IPE), the leading environmental NGO in China, created a comprehensive database of more than 1.5 million government environmental noncompliance records. This database includes a no-cost tool called Blue EcoChain that allows companies to “follow” numerous suppliers and receive automatic notifications the instant compliance problems arise.

By the end of 2019, approximately 100 multinational and domestic brands had registered more than 10,000 suppliers into this automated system.

The March 11th webinar, Using the Power of Data to Reduce Environmental Risk in Your Supply Chain in China, will highlight how the IPE database and supply chain oversight tools work, and hear leading companies share their experiences in using the power of this data to inform their supply chain oversight programs.

We hope you’ll join us for this exclusive webinar.

Thank you!
