If Your Suppliers Aren’t Green, You’re in the Red!

"Every time you sign a contract, you are essentially buying the carbon footprint of that supplier."

It’s a bold statement, but in the world of Scope 3 reporting, it’s the reality. In today’s episode, we’re looking at why 90% of your organization's footprint likely sits within your supply chain—and why Procurement holds the key to fixing it. We move past the "compliance knock on the door" and dive into how to update your category strategies and influence product design at the source. If you’ve ever wondered how to transition from "counting carbon" to actually "cutting it," this episode is for you.

What we cover in this episode:

• The Compliance Reality: What Finance and Legal actually want when they ask for spend data.
• The Strategic Shift: How to move from reactive reporting to proactive supplier development.
• The Design Phase: Why 80% of environmental impact is decided before a PO is even issued.
• Getting Started: Why your segmentation model is your best friend in identifying carbon "hot spots."

Don't let your procurement strategy stay stuck in the past. Tune in to learn how to adapt your team for the Net Zero journey.
