- Develop common methodologies for measuring the industry’s direct, indirect and supply chain greenhouse gas emissions;
- Construct an industry-wide roadmap towards net zero by 2050 and emissions reductions by 2030 in line with the Paris Agreement, with support and guidance on key issues;
- Foster collaboration with suppliers and customers to ensure alignment and common approaches;
- Establish common mechanisms for reporting progress and sharing best practice.
