SoS #6: Fluffy ESG Bonuses, Offsets as a Strategy and Defining Supplier Contractural Terms

Live Q&A with Saif Hameed.

Questions covered:

1. ESG bonuses: Would you recommend a mix of qualitative and quantitative KPIs because some aspects will remain softer in their nature?
2. We set an ambitious carbon target but had intended to meet a significant share of it through offsets. It now looks like that’s no longer popular. Do we need to change course?
3. What is the benefit of insets vs. offsets?
4. What do you think of the US government’s move into direct procurement of carbon credits?
5. How should I amend my existing supplier agreements to promote the exchange of emissions data?
6. For suppliers who aren't well informed on this agenda, do you recommend beginning with value chain decarbonisation and risking a slow start? Or offsets? Or both?
