    Ep 37: Procurement’s moment: From cost cutter to climate leader

    Join Ollie and Tom unpack a big couple of weeks in Scope 3 – from lagging US data maturity to a powerful new playbook launched by the World Economic Forum. Tom sits down with Imran Dassu, a senior partner at Kearney, to dive into the just-released Green Procurement Playbook, a rare bit of practical guidance aimed at helping CPOs turn ambition into action. They talk about operationalisation, pre-competitive collaboration, AI, and why the next generation of procurement leaders will look very different. Then, Ollie is joined by the brilliant Anju Verghese, Head of ESG Strategy at Indian life sciences company Syngene. Her remarkable story – from journalism to science to Scope 3 leadership – shows how one person can ignite a company-wide transformation. Anju shares how Syngene built supplier engagement from scratch, tackled SBTi commitments, and found unexpected power in storytelling. Episode highlights: 🌍 Why North America is behind on supplier data, and what needs to shift 📖 What makes the Green Procurement Playbook actually useful (not just another PDF) 🧠 How CPOs are redefining procurement as a driver of value, not just cost 🔁 The overlooked power of supplier partnerships and pre-competitive collaboration 🇮🇳 Anju’s inspiring work to get 81% of Syngene’s (mostly SMEs) suppliers SBTi-ready 🧰 Lessons in leadership, communication, and capability-building from the field 🔗 Resources mentioned: Download the Green Procurement Playbook from WEF: https://www.weforum.org/publications/green-procurement-playbook-the-cpo-s-guide-to-delivering-value-for-business-and-planet/ Join the Scope 3 Tools Clinic (19 November 2025): https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/XhzAO9k5Q2-UHHc34OBoGQ?mc_cid=474d9559d6&mc_eid=32a23ffc7d#/registration🎧 Enjoy.

    Ep 36: Larisa Maya-Drysdale and Scope 3 Procurement Training

    The boys are back behind their desks – Tom more fresh-faced than Ollie, who looks like something of a broken man – following their New York exploits. First up, they’re joined by Luke Abbott, CEO and co-founder of Equipoise, to talk about the launch of the rather exciting Scope 3 Procurement Training. Developed with the Scope 3 Peer Group and companies like Amazon, AstraZeneca and GSK, it’s a first-of-its-kind programme designed to turn procurement teams into climate problem solvers – giving buyers the knowledge, language, and confidence to act on emissions in their supply base. Then, Larisa Maya-Drysdale, Senior Sustainability Lead at Novo Nordisk, joins the show to share how her career has spanned consultancy, life-cycle assessment, and now one of the world’s most ambitious corporate sustainability programmes. Larisa talks about the evolution of Scope 3, the challenges of harmonising carbon data, and why capability-building across people and partnerships might just be the most powerful lever of all. A grounded, honest conversation about where Scope 3 action really happens – not in boardrooms, but in teams, supply chains, and the day-to-day work of getting it done.

    Ep 35: Climate Week NYC 2025 special - part 2

    Yes, it’s another of our special episodes recorded live in New York for Climate Week. This time, your hosts, Oliver Hurrey and Tom Idle reflect on a whirlwind week of collaboration, action and unexpected breakthroughs in the world of supply chain decarbonization. From rooftop conversations to packed roundtables, the week revealed not only the urgency of the Scope 3 challenge but also the growing appetite for solutions that move beyond data collection and into business benefit and real action. We dive into the growing momentum around product carbon footprints, putting this long-discussed idea into practice in new ways. Terralytiq’s Will Glazener describes PCFs as “the unit price of sustainability” and explains how procurement teams can now benchmark suppliers and shift markets through smarter purchasing. Naama Avni Kadosh, Director of PACT, highlights the community’s role in building trust, breaking down silos, and bringing suppliers into the conversation by making data exchange comparable, practical and actionable. Heat decarbonization also takes center stage. Jon Hughes from ERM outlines how the new Supplier Heat Decarbonization pilot could help companies tackle one of the most overlooked sources of emissions in their value chains. By pooling resources, testing technologies, and scaling lessons learned, this collaborative effort aims to unlock solutions for what can account for up to half of Scope 3 emissions in some industries. We hear from Nancy Gillis of the Scope 3 Peer Group, who reflects on a week where procurement showed up in force and where companies asked sharper, more pointed questions than ever before. The episode also features Elizabeth Geller, Senior Director of Climate Strategy, 3Degrees, who explains how market-based mechanisms are helping companies shift from measurement paralysis to reduction in Scope 3. From renewable energy in supply chains to collaborative initiatives like the Low Carbon Fertilizer Alliance, she describes the practical tools that Fortune 500s and other global brands are now using to claim real, verifiable progress in complex value chains. Throughout the conversation, your hosts capture the energy of Climate Week NYC 2025: the sense that standards are straining to keep pace, the recognition that collaboration is essential, and the refreshing honesty of companies sharing not just what has worked, but what hasn’t. They close with reflections on the renewed optimism across the Scope 3 Peer Group, the importance of building friendships and trust as well as strategies, and the need to carry this momentum forward. 🎧 Enjoy.

    Ep 34: Climate Week NYC 2025 special - part 1

    In the first of two Climate Week NYC special episodes of the Scope 3 Podcast, recorded on the rooftop of SAP’s New York offices, hosts Ollie and Tom cut through the chaos of Climate Week to uncover the stories, strategies, and practical actions defining the future of Scope 3 decarbonization. From supplier engagement events to bold corporate plays on renewables, this episode brings together a series of sharp, candid conversations with the leaders driving Scope 3 progress behind closed doors. We hear from Matias Pollmann-Larsen at Accenture, who shares how supplier engagement is becoming a competitive advantage and how his firm is helping thousands of suppliers set science-based targets.  The brilliant David Croft, Group Head of Sustainability at Reckitt, digs into the complexity of reducing emissions tied to core raw materials like palm oil, and explains how Reckitt is unlocking value by decommoditising ingredients and embedding Scope 3 thinking across the business. Kevin Rabinovitch, Global VP of Sustainability at Mars, breaks down their bold new renewables initiative that enables the business to fund clean electricity across its supply chain, dramatically accelerating emissions reductions where traditional supplier engagement has fallen short.  Chris Low, head of sustainability procurement and packaging at Haleon follows up with details on their own similar efforts using RECs and tax credits to decarbonize tier-N suppliers and reach 2030 targets faster. The episode also includes a sit-down with Marc Munier, co-founder and CEO of Ditch Carbon, to explore how the platform is helping organisations cut through the noise and take practical action. Marc shares his origin story, his no-nonsense approach to Scope 3 data, and why he's focused on helping practitioners free up time to actually reduce emissions, not just report them. Alongside these interviews, Ollie and Tom reflect on the unique energy of Climate Week, where the real breakthroughs are happening not on stages, but in small rooms, away from the spotlight. They explore why standards fatigue is holding companies back, how tech and nature-based solutions are increasingly intersecting, and why this year’s theme seems to be clear: less talk, more courage. 🎧 Enjoy.

    Ep 33: S&P Global, First Factory, and Proxima

    After a much-needed Summer break, The Scope 3 Podcast is back, and Ollie and Tom are coming in strong with an episode all about what good looks like when it comes to supply chain sustainability. As usual, it’s a double-header, with two brilliant conversations that dig into the real dynamics behind buyer-supplier relationships, what it takes to decarbonise, and why so many companies are still stuck at the starting line. First up, Ollie sits down with Andrew Baer, Head of Sustainable Procurement at S&P Global, and Don Gregori, COO of First Factory, one of S&P’s long-standing tech partners. What unfolds is a genuine, thoughtful conversation about how these two very different companies found common ground and built a relationship rooted in trust, transparency, and mutual progress. Don’s honesty about the early resistance to sustainability requirements, and how First Factory became carbon neutral in under a year, makes this a must-listen for anyone navigating supplier engagement. Then, Tom takes over for a chat with Simon Geale and Jamie Ganderton from Proxima, the procurement consultancy working at the sharp end of Scope 3. They share what they’re seeing across the market, why most procurement teams still don’t have a real plan, and what needs to change – fast – to move from strategy to action. Drawing on insight from over 300 companies who’ve taken their Scope 3 Maturity Benchmark, they break down what separates the leaders from the laggards, and why embedding carbon into procurement decision-making is no longer optional. In both conversations, one theme keeps rising to the surface: progress doesn’t happen without people. Real people, having real conversations, asking good questions, and building the kind of relationships that make room for progress – not just pressure. If you're in procurement, sustainability, or anywhere near a Scope 3 target, this episode is packed with lessons, stories, and a few uncomfortable truths, but also a lot of hope. 🎧 Enjoy.

    Ep 32: Scope 3 Tools Review and 'Gwyneth'

    Before Ollie and Tom jet off for the Summer there's still time for this very special edition of the Scope 3 Podcast. First up, Ollie gives a peak behind the curtain of the recent Scope 3 Tools Review session. It was a "dramatic" and "spicy" gathering in which the world's Scope 3 practitioners poured their hearts out about what's working and what's not. You are going to want to hear this. Then, in what is surely a podcast first – and much to Tom's chagrin – the chaps put some questions to 'Gwyneth', an all-singing, all-dancing AI character who, quite remarkably, does her best to represent all 3,000 members of the Scope 3 Peer Group. Hope you enjoy this one. Enjoy the Summer and we shall see you again in September.

    Ep 31: Prologis and Carbonaires

    This time, Ollie returns (not so fresh) from Chicago and he and Tom explore two very different but deeply connected sides of the decarbonisation puzzle: infrastructure and investment. First, Ollie sits down with Wesley Herche, Director of Enterprise Sustainability at Prologis, to unpack what it means to decarbonise from the middle of the value chain. Wes shares how a real estate company with over a billion square feet of space is helping customers – from Amazon to Walmart – cut emissions through onsite solar, EV charging, battery storage, and more. He also reflects on his journey from defense intelligence to sustainability leadership, and why procurement is the linchpin to Scope 3 action. Then, we go deep into the carbon removals market with Alison Barto and Jessica Leigh from Carbonaires. They explain why most companies are underestimating the role carbon credits will play in reaching net zero, and how Carbonaires is working to build trust, integrity, and scale into this often-misunderstood market. From rigorous due diligence to AI-powered portfolio tools – and yes, capturing CO₂ from whisky distilleries – this is a crash course in what credible carbon removal looks like today. Whether you're on the buy side, the build side, or just trying to navigate Scope 3, this episode delivers real insights and practical takeaways. Key takeaways include: Why Prologis calls its tenants “customers” — and how that mindset shapes climate strategy Decarbonising industrial real estate through long-term capital and portfolio thinking The case for carbon removals: why companies can't ignore credits Fixing trust in the voluntary carbon market: due diligence, risk frameworks, insurance Tools Carbonaires is building to help companies buy smarter and scale faster What whisky, cement, and CO₂ have in common 🎧 Enjoy.
