💡 SME Actionable Takeaway:

SMEs in corporate supply chains must review and substantiate any green claims they make – the KLM case shows regulators are cracking down. Meanwhile, Korea’s expanded reporting rules mean suppliers to Korean firms will soon face stricter data requests; start preparing Scope 1, 2, and 3 inventories now to stay ahead.
