Decarbonising an industry: our journey so far
It’s no secret that construction is the world’s biggest polluter – emitting 40% of carbon emissions globally. That problem can’t be tackled alone. Collective action is needed in industries across the board. So, how can an industry pull together to work more effectively? How can it collectively communicate with a supply chain fatigued by the sheer weight of ESG considerations on its shoulders? And what role does collaboration play in putting the tools and practices in place needed to reach targets?
Watch this panel of those leading this fight and find out how by sharing knowledge everyone can make the move together.
From procurement to sustainable procurement: engaging suppliers for impact
This dynamic session shows the role of collaboration – between procurement, supplier and technology – as a powerful tool to drive sustainability. Featuring presentations from CIPS award-winner Nationwide Building Society, the innovative packaging start-up Notpla, and climate platform specialist, Watershed.
We hear how Nationwide has committed to reducing its upstream Scope 3 emissions by 42% by 2030 by setting science-based target expectations for suppliers of high value contracts, a project that was named Best Commitment to Carbon Reduction in Supply Chains at this year's awards. And how Notpla, the Earthshot Prize-winning company, produces "disappearing packaging" that helps food and beverage suppliers bid farewell to single-use plastic by harnessing the natural properties of seaweed.

Procurement's influence beyond procurement
We hear how Sainsbury's – winner of CIPS' Best Sustainability Project of the Year – is accelerating carbon reduction through the roll out of its ultra-rapid charging network for electric vehicles, and the knock-on impact this could have on the EV market at large.
