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.
