What's Happening?
A webinar hosted by edie in partnership with Zeigo will focus on strategies for decarbonising supply chains, a critical challenge for achieving net-zero goals. The event will discuss how sustainability and procurement teams can improve supplier engagement, data collection, and demonstrate credible progress in reducing Scope 3 emissions. The session will include expert discussions on identifying carbon data, achieving quick wins, and communicating sustainability efforts without greenwashing. The webinar aims to provide practical insights for businesses facing pressure from investors, regulators, and customers to show real-world outcomes in their supply chains.
Why It's Important?
Supply chain emissions, particularly Scope 3, often constitute the majority of a company's carbon footprint. As scrutiny over sustainability claims increases, businesses must find ways to provide evidence of their environmental impact. The webinar offers a platform for companies to learn effective strategies for engaging suppliers and managing data, which are essential for meeting net-zero targets. By addressing these challenges, businesses can enhance their sustainability credentials and mitigate reputational risks associated with greenwashing.
What's Next?
The live event will take place on September 10, 2025, and will include a Q&A session for participants to engage with experts. Companies unable to attend live can register for access to the event recording. The insights gained from the webinar may lead to improved supplier engagement and data management practices, helping businesses make measurable progress in their decarbonisation efforts. As companies continue to face pressure to demonstrate sustainability, such events can play a crucial role in guiding their strategies.
