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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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

In this special episode, we're taking you inside the Scope 3 Peer Group Strategy Days in Chicago – a high-energy, high-impact gathering of over 150 supply chain decarbonisation leaders.
Recorded on the fly (and in the depths of O’Hare International), Ollie shares his reflections on three packed days of collaboration, learning, and straight-talking progress. From tactical deep dives on product carbon footprints to game-changing conversations about procurement incentives, it's clear: this community is moving fast.
You’ll also hear from a host of attendees, speakers, and Scope 3 pros from companies like Essity, John Deere, Owens Corning, Magnera, Proxima, Post Holdings, and more. They share the wins, the challenges, and the clarity they gained from being in the room with peers who are wrestling with the same questions.
In this episode we dive deep into two essential engines of climate progress: procurement and data. Tom and Ollie are joined by two standout female voices who are helping organizations move beyond climate commitments and into concrete, measurable action.
First up, Ollie sits down with Nancy Gillis, a veteran sustainability leader with experience at the World Economic Forum, the US government, and now as the guiding force behind the Scope 3 Peer Group. Nancy argues that procurement is no longer a back-office function; it’s now a critical driver of innovation and demand-side decarbonization. From coalitions to clean tech, she lays out the case for empowering buyers to lead the transition.
Then, Tom interviews Rachel Delacour, co-founder and CEO of Sweep, the sustainability data platform helping businesses untangle the complexity of extra-financial data, especially Scope 3 emissions. With roots in the SaaS analytics world, Rachel explains why solving climate means solving a data challenge first. She also shares insights into Sweep’s B Corp journey, the power of AI in climate reporting, and how breaking internal silos can become a company’s superpower.
Whether you're a procurement professional, ESG strategist, data lead, or sustainability exec, this episode will give you tools, perspective, and inspiration to help you act faster and smarter on Scope 3.

This time, Ollie and Tom bring you two more powerful conversations that reveal very different – but equally essential – sides of the Scope 3 challenge.
First up, Ollie sits down with Mark Rowland, founder of ROCeteer and former innovation lead for the US Air Force. From working with tech billionaires in Las Vegas to overhauling federal procurement to spark startup collaboration, Mark’s experience is pretty wild (and is making Ollie feel rather inadequate). His take? Innovation is being blocked by outdated rules, and procurement is either your biggest lever or your worst bottleneck. You’ll hear about crowd-sourced RFPs, AI-enhanced matchmaking, and the case for “serendipity at scale.”
Then, Tom sits down with Scott Raskin and Kevin Vranes from Worldly, the platform formerly known as the Higg Index. With over 40,000 suppliers on board, Worldly is scaling primary data collection across the global supply chain and layering in AI to pinpoint where and how to act. They share how they’re helping consumer goods brands move from measurement to meaningful decarbonization.

Ollie and Tom are back, and this time they are joined by a very special guest.
The former CDP man, Dexter Galvin, is in the studio to unpack the evolution of Scope 3 thinking – from the early days of corporate disclosure to today’s need for actionable, verifiable data. Dexter shares insight on how the landscape has changed, why supplier engagement is still the missing link, and how regulation, technology, and accountability are converging to reshape the system.
Then, Tom sits down with Moritz Nill and Bob Young from CTRL-S, a startup helping businesses move from data to decarbonisation. They share how CTRL-S is closing the supplier action gap, what it takes to drive behaviour change on the ground, and why scalability, flexibility, and context-aware tools are crucial for real progress. Bob also offers a unique take on building purpose-driven companies from the ground up – and why the US may be more ready than we think.
Whether you’re a sustainability leader, procurement specialist, or startup founder working in the climate space, this episode delivers fresh perspectives on what it takes to accelerate Scope 3 impact.

This time, Tom continues to shoehorn any reference to his beloved Liverpool F.C. into the chat while Ollie plays with a straight bat, reporting the latest happenings in the world of Scope 3, including developments from PACT and less snappily titled Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity Initiative.
Then, we’re into our stories.
First up, Ollie speaks with Arne Kloke, Head of Service & Sustainability Management at SCHOTT Pharma. As a major supplier to the pharmaceutical industry – and founding member of Alliance to Zero – Arne offers a rare insight into how suppliers are navigating rising climate expectations, and what real collaboration with procurement teams needs to look like.
Then, Tom dits down with the co-founders of Gravity, Jay Ruckelshaus and Saleh ElHattab. Theirs is a carbon and energy management platform focused on helping emissions-intensive businesses reduce Scope 3 from the ground up. From drag-and-drop carbon accounting to behind-the-meter energy projects, they share what it takes to move from reporting to action.
🎙️In this episode, we explore:
How suppliers like SCHOTT are taking the lead on circular innovation
Why Scope 3 can’t be solved with pressure alone; it needs partnership
The realities of working with industrial companies who aren’t ‘climate first’
How software can reduce emissions – not just automate reporting
The need for interoperability and shared rules of the road across platforms
What Scope 3 success might actually look like by the end of the decade
Whether you’re a sustainability lead, a procurement manager, or a Scope 3 solutions nerd, this episode is full of practical ideas and bold challenges to the status quo.

Fresh from the Easter break, Ollie and Tom are back with more tales from the frontline of Scope 3 action.
First, Ollie chats with Radharaman Jha, VP of Supply Chain at Flaconi, one of Europe’s fastest-growing online beauty retailers (and about to be your daughters’ new favourite brand). With a background in fashion, retail, and e-commerce, Rad offers a candid and consumer-first perspective on sustainability. From the illusion of demand to the uncomfortable truths about how often we really wear our clothes, this conversation unpacks the real drivers of consumption – and the limits of corporate messaging.
Then, Tom sits down with Naved Siddique, Chief Product Officer at Sphera, a true leader in sustainability and risk management software. Naved brings a systems-thinking mindset to the Scope 3 conversation, focusing on how to connect data, insight, and decision-making. They discuss why sustainability is really about operational risk, how Sphera is bridging data gaps in product carbon footprints, and what it means to design solutions that actually solve problems.
Two conversations. Two mindsets. One shared mission: to make Scope 3 action more honest, more effective, and more aligned with the way businesses actually work.

How do we move from vague ambition to meaningful action when it comes to reducing environmental impact in supply chains?
In this episode, Ollie and Tom bring you two very different perspectives on that challenge – one from the world of industrial chemicals, and the other from the world of paint and decorating. Both stories show what it really takes to make progress, whether you're modelling the global materials system or trying to switch out a tin of paint.
🎨 First, Ollie sits down with Ben Featherstone, the first sustainability lead at Bagnalls, a 150-year-old decorating contractor. Ben shares how a request from client CBRE led to the creation of his role – and how he’s using that momentum to influence product choices, change supplier relationships, and engage workers on the ground. It’s a reminder that real change often comes from the middle of the chain, not just the top.
🧠 Then, Tom speaks to Arne Kätelhön and Raoul Meys, co-founders of Carbon Minds. What started as a frustration with the lack of usable data during their academic research has become a business that helps manufacturers and brands make smarter purchasing decisions, using highly granular, region-specific data about chemical supply chains. We discuss the limits of generic averages, the role of data in driving competitiveness, and why clarity – not compliance – is the real goal.

In this episode, we hear from two very different organisations with one shared mission: helping companies reduce emissions deep within their supply chains.
First up, Ollie sits down with Elizabeth Carlson, Chief Sustainability Officer at Tricon, a global chemical trader operating in the middle of a notoriously complex value chain. Liz shares how her business is using collaboration, education, and financial incentives to encourage suppliers to calculate and disclose product carbon footprints. She also speaks honestly about the unique challenges of leading from a position without hard power – especially in a US market where data confidentiality and legal risk loom large.
Then, Tom is joined by Dave Rimkus and Ally Charlton from Schneider Electric, whose Supply Chain Renewables Initiative supports giants like Walmart and PepsiCo in engaging thousands of suppliers on decarbonisation. We unpack how the business is helping thousands of suppliers access renewable energy, the power of aggregated buying models, and why trust and advisory support are just as critical as tech solutions.
Once again, we’re bringing stories from the frontline of Scope 3 – practical, honest, and full of lessons for anyone trying to move the needle on supply chain decarbonisation.

In this episode of The Scope 3 Podcast, we’re tackling a huge emissions blind spot – and no, it’s not transport, packaging, or manufacturing.
It’s buildings.
First up, Ollie sits down with fellow Spurs enthusiast Andy Wright, Responsible Business Director at Samworth Brothers. Andy’s spent two decades pushing businesses to take action, often being labelled a ‘tree hugger’ in the process. But he’s not here for box-ticking exercises or PR fluff. He shares why companies get stuck focusing on the easy wins, why the biggest breakthroughs often come from a handful of key decisions, and why the food industry is finally catching up.
Then, Tom chats with Charlie Lord, co-founder of Renew Energy Partners, a man who’s spent his career figuring out how to make decarbonization happen. And, as a die-hard Liverpool fan, he knows a thing or two about relentless energy and playing the long game. Charlie explains why buildings remain one of the biggest overlooked problems in emissions, how financing structures can remove barriers for companies looking to upgrade their real estate, and why businesses that don’t act now will regret it later.

PACT and LOCT, Ollie and Tom are back – one fresh from holiday (with a deeply questionable approach to t-shirt sharing) and the other as obsessed as ever with getting businesses to stop faffing around and actually make progress on reducing emissions.
In this episode, we get into two big, bold initiatives tackling the real, messy, frustrating barriers to progress – one focused on sorting out the chaos of emissions data and the other on helping suppliers move from confusion to action.
First, Ollie chats with the brilliant Cecilia Valeri Irribarren from WBCSD’s PACT initiative, an effort to fix what is arguably the biggest nightmare in emissions reduction: no one is tracking emissions the same way. If that sounds like an administrative headache, it’s because it is – and businesses are wasting time, money, and effort trying to make sense of bad data.
Next, Tom meets Nicole DelSasso from Guidehouse. She leads Supplier LOCT, a first-of-its-kind initiative that helps big brands stop dumping emissions targets on their suppliers and actually support them in making real cuts.
All of that, plus EUclimate policy updates, offsetting drama, and the Scope 3 Peer Group’s latest findings on emissions tech.
He may still be basking in the glory of his stupendous Scope 3 Peer Group meeting in London, but Ollie still had time to sit down with Mark Allen, Senior Sustainability Director at PepsiCo Europe, for this week’s show.
It is a company moving beyond traditional supplier engagement and embracing ‘co-action’ – a collaborative approach that’s helping suppliers reduce emissions across agriculture, manufacturing, and transport. Mark shares his biggest challenges and breakthroughs, from reducing fertiliser emissions to helping suppliers switch to renewable energy. Plus, he tells us how his own kids keep him accountable on climate action.
Then, we shift gears to the automotive sector, and Tom meets Trio, a green energy consultancy which is working with some of the world’s biggest car manufacturers to decarbonize their supply chains. The firm’s awesome Mary Kate Francis tells us all about Transform: Auto, a program backed by GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda, and Magna that helps suppliers access renewable energy solutions at scale.
In a wide-ranging chat, we find out why automakers are working together instead of separately to accelerate decarbonisation; how suppliers, big and small, can leverage collective buying power to access cheaper, cleaner energy; the three-step process to move from learning to action on renewables; and the future of Transform Auto, including expansion beyond North America.
Enjoy the episode.
