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.
