    • Support chain-leader firms in greening their supply chains

    Penalties

    None set by the plan (policy document).

    What this changes for a supplier in China

    Shanghai suppliers get local standards, platform and support to produce product carbon data requested by EU buyers; chain leaders will cascade requests.

    • Supplier emissions data for chain leader
