Supply Chain Support
The Supply Chain Sustainability School has developed a Carbon Reduction Code for the Built Environment Resource Mapping Table where the School has mapped some of the essential materials and resources that organisations will find useful to navigate their way through demonstrating compliance with the Code. The Table can be accessed by creating an account with the School and then searching 'Carbon Reduction Code' in the School's Resource Library

Level of sign-up
The Code is meant to be challenging so many organisations will first sign up at PLEDGER level and then work through to SIGNATORY and CHAMPION levels if/when possible. Others whose net zero carbon strategy is already quite mature will be able to sign up at SIGNATORY or CHAMPION levels right away.
PLEDGER
This is the minimum level of compliance. All organisations must sign up to commitments 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 to be in compliance at a PLEDGER level.
SIGNATORY
To achieve a SIGNATORY level of compliance, organisations must sign up to 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 and all Core Commitments relevant to their organisation (Client 2.1, 2.2, 2.3) (Supply Chain 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4).
CHAMPION
To achieve a CHAMPION level of compliance, organisations must sign up to 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 Core Commitments relevant to their organisation (Client 2.1, 2.2, 2.3) (Supply Chain 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4) and the Further Commitments relevant to their organisation (Client 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10) (Supply Chain 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9).
Scale
Organisations are encouraged to sign up at a global or national scale, but it is possible for organisations to sign up at a regional or local scale. It is also possible for large projects to sign up such as a joint venture with several partners. The scale of sign-up must be clearly stated.
Cost
There is no cost to sign-up to the Code.
