Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Ollie and Tom discuss the news coming out of Microsoft about its increased Scope 3 emissions – and their new strategy to address it. They also discuss the projects and initiatives of the Scope 3 Peer Group, including the development of a methodology for procurement to incorporate carbon pricing into commercial evaluation. 
Ollie sits down with Chris Low, Head of Packaging Procurement and Sustainability at the consumer healthcare business, Haleon, who talks about the firm’s recent introduction of a carbon pricing mechanism for suppliers. It’s a bold move that Chris is hopeful will drive some serious positive impact within the firm’s supply chain.
Meanwhile, Tom chats with co-founder of Watershed, Taylor Francis. “We set out to build the software that we wish we could have had access to,” he says, referring to his previous role at Stripe. Today, 1% of the world’s emissions come from companies that use Watershed to measure, track and reduce those emissions. The pair explore the challenges and opportunities of Scope 3, the importance of accurate data collection, the role of AI in reporting, and the need for actionable solutions.
