100 Editions of Advancing Practical Climate Action
By Anand Pathak, CEO and Founder, Fitsol

When we published the first edition of this newsletter, the goal was to create a practical platform for conversation around decarbonization. Over the past 100 editions, that platform has grown beyond the newsletter itself. Through blogs, more than ten webinars, podcast discussions, and industry outreach, we have engaged sustainability professionals across sectors such as automotive, textiles, metals, cement, and paper; industries where emissions reduction is closely tied to operational decisions across manufacturing and supply chains.
These engagements have brought valuable feedback from the community we interact with. Conversations with industry practitioners have helped shape our outreach and content strategy while highlighting a common challenge: many organizations have made climate commitments, but translating those commitments into measurable reductions across operations, procurement, logistics, and supply chains remains difficult. Partnerships play a key role in addressing this shift. Our collaboration with Smart Freight Centre reflects the growing focus on freight decarbonization, and we are also partnering with a research institute to bring more research-based perspectives into the newsletter.
As we continue to build this platform, we aim to bring more voices from industry into the conversation, including articles and interviews featuring customers working through decarbonization challenges in their operations and supply chains. As we mark this 100th edition, our focus remains the same—sharing insights and practical approaches that help organizations move from reporting emissions to actively reducing them.
What’s New at Fitsol
2° Talks – A Fitsol Podcast | Special Episode with SFC CEO, Christoph Wolff
In this episode of 2° Talks, Fitsol hosts Christoph Wolff from Smart Freight Centre to discuss freight decarbonization, Scope 3 logistics emissions, and the role of standardized freight emissions accounting. The conversation explores how global frameworks and industry collaboration are helping companies move from emissions reporting to measurable carbon reduction across supply chains.
Upcoming: Fitsol at SChainXpo 2026 | AI-Driven Sustainable Supply Chains
Fitsol will be exhibiting at SChainXpo 2026 (28–29 April, Hall 5, Bombay Exhibition Centre – NESCO), showcasing AI-driven tools for predictive analytics, real-time supply chain orchestration, and carbon footprint measurement.
Visit our booth for live demos on how organizations can embed sustainability into operations and build resilient, low-carbon supply chain systems through data-driven decision-making.
The Fitsol Fix #100
Turning Supply Chain Complexity into Action
Many organizations collect emissions data but struggle to translate it into actionable decarbonization due to fragmented systems, limited supplier visibility, and delayed reporting.
Key Challenges:
• Fragmented supply chain emissions data
• Limited supplier-level visibility
• Delayed reporting with limited operational insight
How Fitsol Enables Change:
• Centralized carbon data across operations and supply chains
• Real-time emissions monitoring with AI-enabled analytics
• Supplier-level transparency for supply chain emissions management
• Actionable dashboards supporting reduction decisions
Fitsol helps organizations move from carbon reporting to measurable emissions reduction.

Middle East Conflict Could Drive Surge in Carbon Credit Demand
Escalating tensions in the Middle East could reshape global carbon markets as energy disruptions push industries toward higher-emission fuels. Analysts warn this shift may increase demand for carbon credits as companies seek to offset rising emissions.
Research on geopolitical spillovers shows conflicts often trigger volatility in carbon prices and trading activity. If disruptions persist, both compliance and voluntary carbon markets could see higher trading volumes.

South Korea Plans Mandatory Sustainability Reporting Starting in 2028
South Korea plans to introduce mandatory sustainability reporting from 2028 for major listed companies based on 2027 data. The framework, led by the Financial Services Commission, will align disclosures with International Sustainability Standards Board standards including IFRS S1 and IFRS S2. The rules will initially apply to large KOSPI-listed firms, with climate disclosures prioritized and value-chain emissions reporting phased in later.

EU Proposes Industrial Accelerator Act to Boost Low-Carbon Manufacturing
The European Commission has proposed an Industrial Accelerator Act to speed up low-carbon manufacturing in sectors like steel, cement, aluminium, vehicles, and clean energy technologies. The policy prioritizes low-carbon and “Made in EU” industrial products through procurement and funding incentives to boost demand for cleaner manufacturing. Part of the EU’s broader Clean Industrial Deal, the framework aims to strengthen industrial competitiveness while accelerating decarbonization in energy-intensive sectors.

China Targets 17% Carbon Intensity Reduction by 2030 in New Climate Plan
China has set a target to reduce carbon intensity by 17% between 2026 and 2030 as part of its latest economic and climate plan. The policy aims to balance industrial growth, energy security, and decarbonization goals. It supports China’s broader strategy to peak emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, though overall emissions may still rise with economic growth.
