1135Against the backdrop of the global acceleration toward carbon neutrality, carbon management across supply chains has become a critical component for enterprises to address climate challenges and enhance competitiveness.To effectively drive emissions reductions across its supply chain, TCC Hangzhou’s Supply Chain Management Department successfully co-hosted a “Supplier Greenhouse Gas Data Management Training Session” with Carbonstop on October 15, providing professional guidance and practical solutions for supplier companies.
Forging Green Competitiveness: Building Future Core Advantages Through Supply Chain Resilience
The training session opened with a keynote speech by Chenjia Song, Executive Deputy General Manager of TCC Hangzhou, titled “The Necessity and Urgency of Supplier Decarbonization.” In his address, he emphasized that achieving carbon neutrality across the value chain has become a cornerstone for enterprises to secure long-term competitiveness and future-proof their operations. As the global net-zero movement gains momentum and China’s “dual carbon” goals deepen, corporate competition is expanding beyond internal efficiency to encompass the green resilience of the entire supply chain. Carbon management capability—now a core criterion in supplier evaluation—directly determines a company’s market position and compliance security within the global green trade system. Therefore, empowering and collaborating with suppliers on low-carbon transformation has transcended mere regulatory compliance; it has become a strategic imperative to reshape supply chain advantages and capture future markets.
Authoritative Insights: Carbon Management in Supply Chains Is Imperative
Jiaxun Zhang, Deputy General Manager of Carbon Management at Carbonstop, delivered a keynote speech titled “The Winning Keys to Global Supply Chain Carbon Management.” Drawing from an international perspective, Ms. Zhang shared best practices from leading global companies in collaborative supply chain carbon management, illustrating how close collaboration can unlock exponential emissions reductions. She also introduced Carbonstop’s proprietary methodology and tools—refined through years of serving enterprise clients—to directly address core pain points in supply chain collaboration: data collection challenges, difficulties in driving coordinated decarbonization actions among suppliers, cost pressures on suppliers, and their often passive roles. She presented win-win solutions where lead companies jointly reduce emissions with their supply chains. Furthermore, Ms. Zhang outlined the latest developments in climate action and carbon management from multiple angles—including global climate policy, international trends, China’s national practices, and leadership case studies—and asserted that China’s carbon management journey is firmly entering a fast lane.
Ms. Zhang emphasized: “There is only one key to winning at supply chain carbon management: determination. When we commit wholeheartedly to this climate revolution—looking beyond short-term interests toward the long-term health of our planet and societal well-being, rather than treating it as a temporary response to external pressure—we not only protect Earth’s ecosystems but also seize new growth opportunities, achieving a win-win between economic and environmental outcomes.”
From Theory to Practice: Building a New Paradigm for Green Supply Chains
Chunyan Yang, Senior Engineer at TCC Hangzhou’s Environmental Planning Department, explained the close link between decarbonization efforts and operational costs from the perspective of greenhouse gas accounting. Addressing common challenges in data collection and verification, she used real-world examples to demonstrate how to efficiently and accurately complete the carbon data management process, based on issues identified during preliminary supplier surveys.
The event also featured a special guest presentation from Sika China, an outstanding supply chain partner of TCC Group, who shared its effective carbon management practices, offering valuable inspiration and concrete examples for attending suppliers.
This training session marked not only a transfer of knowledge but also the official launch of TCC Hangzhou’s comprehensive supply chain decarbonization initiative. Following the event, an expert team composed of Ms. Yang and colleagues from the Supply Chain Management Department will roll out “industry-specific, end-to-end guidance,” deploying specialized teams to visit suppliers across different sectors and provide tailored, actionable pathways to carbon neutrality.
Co-Creation and Mutual Success: Driving the Entire Supply Chain Toward Carbon Neutrality
The specialized training attracted nearly 100 medium- and large-sized suppliers both offline and online, receiving widespread acclaim. Attendees expressed that the session not only deepened their understanding of carbon management but also strengthened their confidence in collaborating with TCC Hangzhou on joint decarbonization efforts.
As an industry leader in green transformation, TCC Group has long been committed to advancing carbon management across its supply chain and has established a robust supplier carbon management system. This collaboration between TCC Hangzhou’s Supply Chain Management Department and Carbonstop has further enhanced the professionalism and credibility of its supply chain carbon initiatives, setting a new benchmark for collaborative supplier decarbonization in the industry.
In the future, Carbonstop will continue supporting TCC Hangzhou’s Supply Chain Management Department in deepening collaboration with supply chain partners—leveraging technological innovation, management optimization, and resource sharing—to jointly build a greener, lower-carbon, and more sustainable supply chain ecosystem, contributing industrial strength to the global fight against climate change.
