Is your supplier engagement program action-oriented? Does it inspire your suppliers to take an action that reduces their emissions, right now? If not, you are not alone. Most supplier programs are more circumspect – they ask suppliers to consider interim steps: set a goal, calculate a footprint, or even, attend a webinar!
Engaging suppliers directly on relevant solutions can be an effective way to move from programmatic discussions to action – and a great path for direct engagement is encouraging and enabling suppliers to adopt renewable energy. Supplier renewable energy adoption can lead to material reductions in their reported scope 2 emissions, and is broadly accessible around the world. Still, first-time renewable energy purchasers find lots of sticking points: a lack of pricing transparency, financial risks, evolving industry best practices, and geographically specific limitations. 3Degrees is working to break down these barriers.
