While the work to reduce emissions is not simple, it is absolutely critical for organizations worldwide. Fortunately for them, procurement’s core skills - multi-tasking, resilience, and an emphasis on taking action - are precisely what is needed to lay the foundation for a more sustainable future. 

In this episode of the #LoveProcurement podcast, Kelly Barner is joined by Thomas Udesen, Chief Procurement Officer at Bayer and Co-Founder of The Sustainable Procurement Pledge, as well as Oliver Hurrey, Lead of the Champions Program. 

Thomas and Oliver talk about their experience working to move the needle on sustainability using the strengths that procurement already brings to the table:

• How factors such as regulation, geography, and general business mindset help or hinder the journey towards sustainability
• Tips for motivating skeptics, and decision makers who don’t put a priority on reducing emissions
• Straightforward steps procurement can take today to start driving measurable change
