SPL are supporting clients develop their approach to ‘Climate Change and Procurement’, enabling practical measures to support the transition to net zero.
Understanding why this is critical, what net zero means and the consequences of doing nothing is vital.
 
The EU Climate Action video highlights the changes already taking place in the climate and the stark reality facing Europe if we do nothing. It also emphasises what is possible if we keep temperature rise below 2 degrees C.

Direct risks facing procurement and supply are substantial; let alone the moral and economic imperative of taking action. We know what to do, but we need to do it now.

Are you geared up to help the NHS reach net zero emissions in its wider supply chain by 2045?
 
The NHS ambitions set out this week are very welcome - they will need hard work by those within the NHS and its supply chain. New technology, yes – but also new ways of thinking and doing  – it’s not about doing what you have always done but considering optimum alternatives, as well as looking forward. There are many climate health risks this goal seeks to manage but it also presents represents opportunities for proactive and forward thinking businesses, large or small.

Sustainable Procurement Limited are pleased to share that Director Philip Duddell will be contributing to Procurex Live this year with a session on building capability to mobilise procurement in the transition to net zero emissions.
