Major brands come together to reduce greenhouse emissions

The cycling industry is stepping up to tackle climate change. Accell, Canyon, Quality Bicycle Products, Rose, Schindelhauer, Schwalbe, Scott and Trek partnered with Shift Cycling Culture to create a new Climate Action Training Course. This free, open-source program is designed to help manufacturers and other organizations reduce greenhouse gas emissions across global supply chains. This comprehensive online course is packed with actionable insights tailored to the cycling industry.

Why the Climate Action Course matters

Greenhouse gas emissions are a pressing concern, especially in sectors like cycling, where up to 95 per cent  of emissions often come from the supply chain—encompassing the extraction, sourcing and production of materials and components. This course addresses these challenges head-on, focusing on educating manufacturers and suppliers on the crucial role they play in reducing emissions. By raising awareness and providing practical tools, the course empowers companies to make impactful changes throughout their supply chains.

This initiative comes at a pivotal moment when industry leaders see supply chain engagement as the top method for scaling climate action. The course equips businesses with the knowledge to collaborate with suppliers, achieve emission reduction targets and align with emerging sustainability legislation.
