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.
