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.
