Show Notes

China has pledged to be carbon neutral by 2060 -- and its citizens are helping industries across the country reach that goal.

The map holds emitters accountable and helps companies along the global supply chain make informed sourcing and procurement decisions. Hear how the app uses the power of transparency to motivate more than 14,000 factories (so far) to clean up.
