Accountancy firm Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC) met yesterday (January 26th) with members of its supply chain in order to discuss ways in which it can reduce its carbon emissions, an Accountancy Age report has detailed.
The firm met with 20 of its suppliers in order to assess where and how it can reduce its carbon footprint, highlighting the amount of good which can be done even by companies with a seemingly small impact on the environment.
Roger Reeves, PwC partner with responsibility for infrastructure and procurement was quoted in the article as saying: "As the UK's largest professional services firm we know PwC has significant buying power and that also brings responsibility too.
"In the current economic climate cost is important, but we will not compromise our sustainability objectives in our selection of goods or services."
The decision comes as more businesses are appreciating the benefits being able to declare themselves green, as well as how the supply chain plays a part in improving a company's green credentials.
Selecting a third-party supply chain can be an effective way for companies to reduce their overall CO2 impact, as well as cut costs during the ongoing recession.
