For procurement professionals, a Scope 3 commitment without primary data is a promise you can't keep, and a target you can't hit on time. You are tasked with driving meaningful climate action across a vast network of suppliers, often with varying levels of sustainability maturity and limited resources. While the rush to adopt AI tools offers new ways to manage this complexity, relying on secondary or unverified emissions data creates blind spots that can stall your progress.
Hosted by CIPS and featuring Dexter Galvin during London Climate Action Week, this webinar explores how to shift decarbonization from a simple reporting task into a powerful procurement strategy. We will discuss why securing verified primary data is the essential foundation for AI, giving procurement teams the capability to move suppliers faster, hit milestones sooner, and turn climate action into a competitive advantage
Why Attend:
- Make Procurement the Decarbonisation Engine: Sustainability data often sits in silos while procurement keeps buying on price and volume. Understand how equipping procurement with reliable carbon intelligence makes every sourcing decision count.
- Move Beyond Estimates: Discover strategies to efficiently collect reliable, supplier-level emissions data for credible climate reporting—even from suppliers at early stages of maturity.
- Build Trusted Intelligence: Understand why verified primary data is essential for AI tools, and how it provides the clarity procurement teams need to make confident decisions rather than relying on unverified models.
