Procurement is key to driving sustainability efforts and reducing carbon emissions - and here’s why
As sustainability regulations tighten worldwide, businesses face mounting pressure to accurately disclose and reduce their carbon emissions. However, the intricate and often opaque nature of Scope 3 data – which encompasses emissions embedded across the entire value chain, from suppliers to end consumers – means that many companies still rely on broad estimates to report their carbon footprint. This dependence on estimated data can lead to inaccuracies that hinder business leaders from making informed decisions with a genuine impact on sustainability.

I got fired from my own startup – lessons from the other side
For many founders, the dream is to exit, but no one tells you how things may take a turn for the worse when you’re no longer in the driver’s seat. After selling my startup to Private Equity (PE) in an earn out agreement that involved its own challenges, I found myself being made redundant. This also came with the news that I would not receive the previously agreed upon performance bonus, nor over a million pounds worth of company shares which were set to vest the week after my redundancy.
