This report is mainly for multinational businesses with supply chains in developing countries that are taking steps to decarbonise. It is particularly relevant to businesses in sectors that rely on significant numbers of women in their supply chains, for example in agriculture and clothing.

It aims to simplify and support integrating gender and Net Zero carbon planning by using existing processes to create synergies. For example, the guidance in this report can be easily included into existing climate transition plans. This report provides practical steps and actions that companies can take on their decarbonisation journey, with examples and case studies.

This report is part of the FCDO’s Work and Opportunities for Women Programme.
