Does what (and how) we buy matter as much as what we build?

Embedding Sustainable Procurement: Tackling Scope 3 Emissions Through Collaboration

With Nottingham Trent University (NTU) committed to achieving Net Zero by 2040 across all three scopes, addressing supply chain emissions—responsible for over half of total emissions—has become a priority. NTU will share its journey and practical insights from collaborating with 38 other universities to tackle this shared challenge across complex supply chains.

This session will explore how adopting a circular mindset in procurement can drive meaningful change.
