Japan Supplier Engagement Workshop 2026
As the business environment becomes increasingly complex, it is becoming more important for companies to understand nature-related risks and opportunities and translate these insights into concrete action across their supply chains.
In this workshop series, participants will work through the key processes in Steps 1–3 of the latest SBTs for Nature guidance through practical exercises. Participants will identify the data and decisions required within their organizations, consider how to collaborate with internal and external stakeholders, and define next steps to translate their nature-related ambitions into concrete action.
To help companies put these efforts into practice across their supply chains, CDP supports supplier engagement. Through CDP Supply Chain Membership, CDP helps companies collect and use environmental data through engagement with suppliers and take action on environmental challenges across their supply chains. CDP’s expert team can help you explore how best to leverage the program based on your organization’s specific challenges and goals.
Please note: This workshop is primarily intended for companies actively considering the implementation and practical application of SBTs for Nature, as well as the use of CDP Supply Chain Membership.
