    Why AI changes the approach

    Your supply chain faces carbon-related risks: suppliers can't meet future regulations, their operations are vulnerable to climate change, or they'll demand carbon reduction from you. AI helps you identify and mitigate these risks.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      For each major supplier, assess: Are they in climate-vulnerable regions? Facing regulations? Have they set carbon targets?

    2. 2

      Ask AI: "Which suppliers have the highest carbon risk?"

    3. 3

      Model scenarios: "What if a major supplier's facility is disrupted by climate change?" "What if new regulations require lower-carbon inputs?"

    4. 4

      Identify alternatives: Could you switch to lower-carbon suppliers? What's the cost?

    5. 5

      Create a supply chain resilience plan: diversify, invest in supplier capability, or find alternatives

    Adapt to your actual files and context before using.

    Prompt 1
    I'm uploading supplier data: location, emissions, industry sector. Which suppliers have the highest climate risk? Consider: location vulnerability, regulatory exposure, ability to reduce emissions.
    Prompt 2
    My top 3 suppliers are in [region] which faces [climate risks]. What's the impact on my business if their operations are disrupted? What's my mitigation strategy?
    Prompt 3
    Regulatory pressure on carbon is increasing. My suppliers face new requirements. How should I help them? Should I fund efficiency improvements? Switch suppliers? Redesign products?
