Today, the global chemical industry supplies products essential to most sectors of the economy, accounting for more than 8% of the gross domestic product of the manufacturing sector in 2017 (Oxford Economics 2019). However, this has environmental impacts on many of the processes in the planetary boundaries, including climate change , and novel entities such as microplastics pollution ). In the context of climate change, for instance, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is calling for increasingly urgent actions to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This urgency has compelled the international financial community , and brand owners in the downstream of the supply chain , to demand GHG emission reductions in all three scopes (i.e., scope 1, 2, and 3) of the GHG Protocol , from upstream suppliers such as the chemical industry.
