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 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:

graph icon Carbon Accounting Basics
Methods, challenges & disclosures (GRI, CSRD, etc.)
handshake icon Supplier Engagement Strategies
Plus case studies of what works
clock icon Strategic Program Development
Guided long-term climate planning
tools icon Collaborative Roadmapping
Identify & prioritize GHG reduction opportunities
people icon Peer & Expert Support
Ongoing coaching & best practice exchange
computer icon 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.
