Decarbonization should be a priority for any organization that is serious about ESG in 2023.
The procurement function has a significant role to play with Scope 3 supply chain emissions typically making up over 80% of an organization's total greenhouse gas footprint.
But how can the procurement team effectively reduce supply chain emissions while contending with other priorities like cost, quality and resilience?
Join us for our upcoming ESG webinar and learn how Schroders, CBRE and BT have navigated these challenges to;
- Measure supply chain emissions
- Set science-based decarbonization targets
- Start decarbonizing their supply chains
We will wrap the webinar with a live Q&A session for the panel and Equipoise, a leading Sustainable Procurement Consultancy.
