2019 Green Supply Chain Action in Review
As of 2019, the Blue Map Database has motivated up to 10,000 companies with regulatory violation records to disclose environmental information or take full corrective action. The database now contains more than 1.6 million regulatory records and 1.8 billion monitoring data points, which allow for the dynamic evaluation of supplier environmental performance in real time.
 Jiangsu, Guangdong and Zhejiang saw the most supplier feedback this year, and companies responded most often to wastewater, exhaust emissions and procedural violations, highlighting the greatest opportunities for future action.
At the request of our brand users, the Blue Map team added new features that help brand partners tag their suppliers, suppliers provide feedback, and both to review statistics on enterprises they follow.
Our analysis of PRTR submissions also revealed that 57% of companies reduced their energy use per 10,000 RMB of output, while 43% increased their consumption between 2017 and 2018. Fifty-nine percent reduced their water use per 10,000 RMB of output, slightly higher in proportion to the 41% with reduced water efficiency. With no major trends in energy saving and carbon data, climate action remains the greatest area for improvement among suppliers in 2020.
More brands continue to publish PRTR data every day, and as cities continue to publish more environmental information, brands, investors and suppliers alike are now witnessing the cascade of supply chain management efforts made possible through environmental big data. |
