Supply Chain Decarbonization Accelerator

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 6-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 four 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, available at both member and non-member rates, include 10-90 minute virtual sessions across six months with a mix of interactive learning and working sessions including:

graph icon Carbon Accounting Basics
Methods, challenges & disclosures (GRI, CSRD, etc.)
handshake icon Supplier Engagement Strategies
