Decarbonised Supply Chains
On average, supply chain emissions are more than 11 times higher than a company’s direct emissions. In other words, Scope 3 plays a key role in any decarbonisation journey. In this community of practice, you will exchange with peers and experts on tangible strategies to mobilise suppliers and reduce emissions on a large scale.
Why participate?
Through peer-led discussions and case-based learning, participants set the agenda, develop solutions and refine their strategies in a supportive, high-impact setting.
Shared expertise
Build on shared expertise and learn from experts and peers from other industries, discuss case studies and collaborate on solutions to complex Scope 3 challenges.
Tangible strategy
Develop a clear plan, based on recent climate science, to engage suppliers, standardise data and enable large-scale reductions.
Sustainable impact
Learn how circular models and C-level buy-in make your supply chain more structurally sustainable and competitive.

Programme
| 02.06.2026 | Data collection & incentives for emissions reduction | Effective reduction of Scope 3 emissions starts with reliable data. In this session, you'll discover best practices for mobilising suppliers, standardising data collection and using AI to spot reduction opportunities. |
| 22.09.2026 | Create support among management for implementation | Management commitment is critical to making decarbonisation a strategic priority. In this session, you will learn how to build a compelling business case that demonstrates that decarbonisation pays off in terms of risk management, cost reduction and competitiveness. |
| 24.11.2026 | Circularity as a lever for emissions reduction | In addition to supplier engagement, circular business models offer the opportunity to reduce emissions already at the source. Discover how to integrate circularity into your supply chain through "product-as-a-service" models, material recovery or waste reduction. Participants are encouraged to invite a key supplier to explore together how to scale this circular approach up the value chain. |
