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.
