The World Trade Organization (WTO) (D) oversees global trade rules, per the CIPS L3M6 syllabus. NATO (A) is a military alliance, the UN (B) addresses broader issues, and the World Bank (C) focuses on development. CSR intersects with WTO policies in logistics.

Questions # 62:
Green procurement and green logistics can make a marked difference in curbing pollution from greenhouse gas emissions.
Green procurement (sourcing sustainable goods) and green logistics (eco-friendly transport/warehousing) significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The CIPS L3M6 module cites examples: procuring low-carbon materials cuts upstream emissions, while electric delivery vans lower transport emissions. Together, they address supply chain pollution holistically, making this a true statement and a core LO2 strategy for environmental impact reduction.

The Paris Agreement was adopted on December 12, 2015, at COP21 in Paris, under the UNFCCC. It aims to limit global warming to below 2°C (preferably 1.5°C) above pre-industrial levels, with nations committing to nationally determined contributions (NDCs). The CIPS L3M6 module highlights its significance in driving environmental policies that affect procurement, such as carbon reduction targets influencing supply chain decisions. Unlike 1992 (UNFCCC), 1997 (Kyoto), or 2005 (Kyoto entry), 2015 marks this pivotal global commitment in LO2’s timeline.
