Thinking & acting beyond carbon:
Scope 3 emissions & Procurement with Purpose
With Peter Smith – Author and Managing Director at Procurement Excellence
Wednesday 23rd March 2022 – 15:00 GMT
Organisations are putting considerable energy into addressing their own environmental impact and considering Scope 3 emissions in their supply chain. But there are other critical issues that impact emissions - or are themselves impacted by climate change. In this discussion, Peter Smith will be discussing these complex systems and how net zero relates to other environmental topics such as water, deforestation, and species loss as well as the impact of climate change on huge social issues such as modern slavery, equality, and fairness. We'll discuss how organisations can build a coherent procurement with purpose strategy, plus some practical steps that every organisation can take now.
