Commit to Science-Aligned Targets (Scope 1 and 2)
Pledge to science-aligned emission reduction goals, a fundamental step toward a sustainable future.
Manufacturer Climate Action Program
The Manufacturer Climate Action Program (MCAP) is a pivotal initiative that unites manufacturers worldwide to combat climate change, driving sustainable change through science-aligned targets.
What is MCAP?
As an integral part of our Decarbonization Program, MCAP welcomes SAC members and non-members alike, with a primary objective to accelerate the adoption of science-aligned targets for Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
MCAP’s mission is to significantly reduce emissions by enabling manufacturers to start their decarbonization journey faster. We are doing this by providing an intermediate pathway to measure carbon emissions and develop science-aligned climate reduction targets for Scope 1 and 2 where they have direct control.
Background: Evolution from SCAP to MCAP
Rooted in a collaboration between NIKE, Inc. and the World Resource Institute (WRI) in 2021, MCAP evolved from the Supplier Climate Action Program (SCAP). SCAP empowered manufacturers to set science-aligned targets, and set the stage for MCAP’s comprehensive approach. With WRI’s guidance, MCAP integrates experience and expertise to accelerate sustainable progress.
Four Elements of MCAP
Evaluate Climate Risk
Manufacturers are encouraged to assess and document the risks to their operations from climate change. This analysis serves as a bridge for engaging value chain partners, including brands.
Develop a Decarbonization Plan
Craft a roadmap for emission reduction, addressing the growing demand for transparency and enabling manufacturers to plan investments and resources effectively.
Annually Disclose Progress
Champion transparency by publicly sharing annual progress reports toward targets, cultivating a culture of accountability and growth.
