About this listen

Tired of "supply chain engagement" programs that generate more surveys than carbon reductions?

In our latest episode, Saif Hameed and Beth Jones (Supply Chain Decarbonisation Lead, Altruistiq) cut through the hype to outline a framework for real impact:

  • Align before action: Bridge internal agendas and make procurement central—they understand the supplier relationships.
  • Evolve data, don't overhaul: Progress from compliance surveys to product carbon footprints - without specific PCF components, you're collecting numbers, not insights.
  • Integrate commercials: Embed carbon into procurement metrics (e.g., “The Three C’s: Cost, Cash, Carbon), rather than treating as a side issue.
  • Prioritise ruthlessly: Focus on suppliers with the highest emissions, strategic value, and collaboration potential.
