To ensure effectively tackling climate crises, it is important for firms to ensure reduction of emissions and respect of human rights at Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers.

Leveraging from vast evidence collected within the Global Value Chain literature, this chapter elaborates on what are the challenges for managers interested to ensure effective improvements upstream; list what are practices that can be implemented, suggests postures to ensure overcome the risks of means-ends decoupling.
