    He may still be basking in the glory of his stupendousScope 3 Peer Group meeting in London, but Ollie still had time to sit down withMark Allen, Senior Sustainability Director atPepsiCo Europe, for this week’s show. It is a company moving beyond traditional supplier engagement and embracing ‘co-action’ – a collaborative approach that’s helping suppliers reduce emissions across agriculture, manufacturing, and transport. Mark shares his biggest challenges and breakthroughs, from reducing fertiliser emissions to helping suppliers switch to renewable energy. Plus, he tells us how his own kids keep him accountable on climate action. Then, we shift gears to the automotive sector, and Tom meetsTrio, a green energy consultancy which is working with some of the world’s biggest car manufacturers to decarbonize their supply chains. The firm’s awesomeMary Kate Francis tells us all aboutTransform: Auto, a program backed by GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda, and Magna that helps suppliers access renewable energy solutions at scale.  In a wide-ranging chat, we find out why automakers are working together instead of separately to accelerate decarbonisation; how suppliers, big and small, can leverage collective buying power to access cheaper, cleaner energy; the three-step process to move from learning to action on renewables; and the future of Transform Auto, including expansion beyond North America.

    Ep 16: Grant Thornton and Zevero

    This episode was recorded in between Ollie and Tom excitedly opening the doors of their advent calendars (it seems they have both been seriously spoiled by their wives this time around). Ollie is joined by Richard Jamison, Head of Procurement and Property at Grant Thornton. Richard shares his journey from “falling into procurement” to becoming a champion for sustainability within his firm. He’s candid about the challenges of tackling Scope 3, the importance of collaboration, and why he thinks procurement teams hold the key to meaningful climate action.  With practical advice, insightful anecdotes, and a dose of humor, Richard’s perspective is a must-hear for anyone navigating the complexities of supply chain emissions. “Procurement isn’t just about buying things. It’s about creating value. And in today’s world, value is measured in sustainability and resilience.” Meanwhile, Tom joins the dynamic duo behind Zevero, George Wade and Ben Richardson, who are shaking up the world of Scope 3 with their innovative approach to decarbonisation. From waste management to redefining data-driven carbon reduction strategies, George and Ben share their journey, the hurdles they’ve faced, and why they believe tackling Scope 3 is not just doable – it’s exciting. “The challenge with Scope 3 isn’t just its size; it’s that companies focus on the wrong things. They’re obsessing over pallet wrap instead of tackling the real emissions hotspots.” It’s another episode packed with actionable insights, inspiring stories, and a healthy dose of optimism. If you’re ready to learn how to make faster, smarter, and more confident decisions to achieve your Scope 3 goals, this one’s for you. Enjoy the show.
