🙌 “It’s not about profit. It’s about doing the right thing for the planet” John Dickson, CPO at AstraZeneca , told CPOstrategy magazine. Words like these are uncommon in the field of procurement as buying decisions usually follow the three criteria of quality, availability and price. 🌱 Impact has now become the fourth pillar. We are super grateful we were able to share our approach to positive climate impact in this issue of CPO Strategy magazine! Our co-founder Lara shared our best practices for supply chain decarbonization, among those are three steps companies can take to set up a net zero engagement program: 💻 Prepare the data collection thoroughly: Align to define the scope and data needs. Develop a set of metrics and leading indicators. 🤝 Support suppliers during data collection: Collaborate with suppliers, provide support and share the benefits for participating. Using a digital platform helps to ensure that information is centralized. 📊 Analyze, share and use the obtained data for mutual collaboration: Start implementing supplier engagement in hotspot categories to enable strategic alignment. Thank you so much for having us, CPO Strategy! 🎈 You can find the full interview via the link in the comments!
