Note to Suppliers: Manage carbon, or lose customers

Very interesting post today on Environmental Leader.  Here's a highlight:
To assemble the report, 44 CDP member firms reached out to 1,402 of their suppliers. About 51 percent of suppliers responded to the survey, 7 percent declined to participate and another 42 percent did not respond.
That's huge.  SEVEN PERCENT DECLINED and FORTY-TWO PERCENT DID NOT RESPOND.   700 companies either did not have the time, resources or requisite knowledge to respond to a request by some of the largest companies in the world with regard to their carbon management practices.
