Mode of Event: Online (Webcast).
Organizer: GreenBiz Group.
Is your supplier engagement program action-oriented? Does it inspire suppliers to reduce their emissions, right now? If not, you are not alone. Most supplier programs are more circumspect, asking suppliers to consider interim steps: set a goal, calculate a footprint, or even, attend a webinar!
Engaging suppliers directly on relevant solutions can be an effective way to move from programmatic discussions to action. A great path for direct engagement is encouraging and enabling suppliers to adopt renewable energy. Supplier renewable energy adoption can lead to material reductions in their Scope 2 emissions, and is broadly accessible around the world. Still, first-time renewable energy purchasers find lots of sticking points: a lack of pricing transparency, financial risks, evolving industry best practices, and geographically specific limitations. 3Degrees and Microsoft are working together to break down these barriers.
Join us as we walk through:
- Strategies for action-oriented supplier engagement and pathways to renewable energy procurement
- Useful tools for suppliers to use for renewable energy education and procurement
- Avenues that Microsoft has been utilizing to tackle its own Scope 3 emissions
