Experience over the past decade has shown that green supply chain development helps strengthen corporate environmental management through market mechanisms, promote efficient resource use, and reduce pollution and product carbon footprints. It enhances corporate resilience while contributing positively to ecological protection and climate action. However, intensifying geopolitical competition, increasing fragmentation of the global governance system, and frequent trade frictions—including tendencies toward decoupling and supply chain disruption—have made global supply chain stability harder to maintain, inevitably affecting the advancement of green supply chain initiatives. Against this complex backdrop, IPE upgraded CITI Criteria and conducted a quantitative evaluation of 800 companies across 23 industries. IPE aims to identify the new challenges and issues companies are facing, as well as to discover and promote best practices. The evaluation seeks to build common understanding among stakeholders, create an enabling environment for both Chinese and international companies to green their supply chains.
