Do Procurement Support

Procurement Training
The Scope 3 Peer Group members have identified the need for high-quality, consistent, simple and accessible training for their procurement teams on supply chain decarbonization.
Scope 3 is bewildering enough as it is for sustainability professionals. We need to help procurement focus their skills and expertise to create more value for the business; engage suppliers effectively; collect the necessary data; and make great decisions with suppliers using it.
We have partnered with Equipoise to deliver & develop the training, which was crowd-sourced and funded by the Peers.
Those already supporting and funding include: Amazon, AstraZeneca, Essity, GSK, Novonesis, Takeda, Emitwise, Environmental Defense Fund, Schneider Electric, Guidehouse and the Supplier Leadership on Climate Transition.
Scope 3 Strategy Collective
A cross-industry collaboration to embed Scope 3 into procurement strategy, the Scope 3 Strategy Collective is an initiative born out of The Scope 3 Peer Group and the insights taken from The Scope 3 Maturity Benchmark.
There is a disconnect between the ambition and executive sponsorship to set Net Zero targets and the procurement strategy, which is key to delivering Scope 3 reductions.
The Collective is a project that aims to address this mismatch.
Carbon Pricing
This is the Working Group of those wanting & willing to pilot the Carbon Pricing Principles for Procurement or already doing so.
We discuss progress by those implementing or piloting; share and capture best practice; build a support group of pilots at different levels of maturity and different sectors; and continually improve the Principles.
Climate Contracts
This Working Group explores how to best embed climate and carbon into contracting and the way that procurement works; and crucially, the tracking and evidencing of impact.
This Working Group is run in partnership with The Chancery Lane Project and includes:
Those that are already including contract clauses on climate - and are keen to improve their effectiveness and impact (as well as willing to share their experiences)
Those that are actively interested to begin embedding clauses - and would like to make sure they understand the best practice; challenges; and change management required
Those that are intrigued to understand more before committing to do so
Category Decarbonization
We will soon be collaborating Peers together both across and deep in value chains to tackle Scope 3 in key categories and to embed in procurement category strategies.
We will be looking across common, indirect categories such as IT and Tech, and Property, as well as deep into high-emitting categories such as Critical Minerals.
