《企业供应链ESG管理要求》团体标准发布 助力构建ESG产业生态

Core Viewpoint - The increasing focus on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) compliance in supply chains is becoming essential for companies' survival and growth, driven by global regulations and the need for sustainable development [1][2]. Group 1: ESG Compliance and Regulations - Major economies, including the EU, have introduced regulations such as CSRD, CBAM, and CSDDD, making supply chain ESG compliance a regulatory requirement for leading companies [1]. - Non-compliance with ESG standards by suppliers can lead to significant risks for chain-leading companies, including market exclusion and substantial fines [1]. Group 2: Challenges in ESG Management - Many companies recognize the need to manage supply chain ESG but lack clear guidance, often leading to ineffective efforts [1]. - There is a common misconception that supply chain ESG management is solely about managing suppliers, neglecting the importance of internal management systems [2]. Group 3: New Standards for ESG Management - The newly released "Enterprise Supply Chain ESG Management Requirements" standard aims to provide a framework that aligns with international standards while being tailored to China's context [2]. - The standard establishes a dual mechanism for ESG management, integrating both internal and external supplier management to enhance overall effectiveness [2]. - It introduces a cost-effectiveness balance mechanism, directing resources to high-risk areas and transforming ESG requirements from a cost burden into shared value with suppliers [2].
