Supply Chain Decarbonization Accelerator

Industry Cohorts for Collaborative Scope 3 Success

The Challenge

Even companies with science-based targets are struggling to move the needle on Scope 3 because the traditional approach—engaging suppliers on a company-by-company basis—simply isn't adequate.

The Solution

Work together. SPLC has created a 5-month purchaser-supplier cohort where organizations work with their peers to target shared, strategic suppliers—creating unified action to learn, plan, and act together for decisive Scope 3 progress.

The Initial Focus

Launching in January 2026, the first three cohorts of Accelerator will focus on supply chains in the Real Estate, Food & Beverage, Utilities/Energy, and Professional Services sectors (interest for other sectors can be expressed through the Interest Form below). The cohorts include 10-90 minute virtual sessions across six months with a mix of interactive learning and working sessions including:

	Carbon Accounting Basics Methods, challenges & disclosures (GRI, CSRD, etc.)
	Supplier Engagement Strategies Plus case studies of what works
	Strategic Program Development Guided long-term climate planning
	Collaborative Roadmapping Identify & prioritize GHG reduction opportunities
	Peer & Expert Support Ongoing coaching & best practice exchange
	Optional Vendor Demos Carbon accounting tools & services for deeper support

The Timeline

Applications to utilize the Supply Chain Decarbonization Accelerator must be submitted by anchor purchasers no later than November 6th. Following the deadline, suppliers will be selected by purchasers and invited to participate in November and December. The main programming runs from January through May 2026, consisting of ten 90-minute virtual sessions.
