Free Webinar: Catalyzing Renewable Energy Adoption Among Your Suppliers, August 6, 12-1 pm ET
Event Description
Is your supplier engagement program action-oriented? Does it inspire suppliers to reduce their emissions, right now? If not, you are not alone. Most supplier programs are more circumspect, asking suppliers to consider interim steps: set a goal, calculate a footprint, or even, attend a webinar!
Engaging suppliers directly on relevant solutions can be an effective way to move from programmatic discussions to action. A great path for direct engagement is encouraging and enabling suppliers to adopt renewable energy. Supplier renewable energy adoption can lead to material reductions in their Scope 2 emissions, and is broadly accessible around the world. Still, first-time renewable energy purchasers find lots of sticking points: a lack of pricing transparency, financial risks, evolving industry best practices, and geographically specific limitations. 3Degrees and Microsoft are working together to break down these barriers.
