SUMMARY:SPP | Integrating Carbon into Decision Making: Deep-dive Workshop
DESCRIPTION:*** REISTER FOR FREE HERE: REGISTRATION LINK *** \nJoin this interactive deep-dive workshop that will help you shape your approach to integrating carbon into your procurement decision-making processes.  \nThis workshop builds upon the Integrating Carbon into Decision Making Guide published in May 2025. The Guide is a practical resource designed to help procurement leaders embed carbon considerations into sourcing processes\, using carbon as a commercial lever. \nIt reflects our belief that no matter your company’s size\, maturity\, or operating model\, there is a way forward. The Guide was built with flexibility in mind\, understanding that context matters—market leverage\, supplier relationships\, and data availability should shape your approach. Recognizing that not every team has the tools or internal support to price carbon directly\, the guide outlines a range of accessible options—from simple screening methods to full environmental price adjustments \nThe guide complements the carbon pricing conversation we started with the Carbon Pricing in Procurement Initiative. \nYour speaker: \nLewis Howard is Co-CEO of BRAE and developed the Integrating Carbon into Decision Making Guide for SPP. He will lead you through the  key elements of the guide and provide practical implementation advice. \nIn preparation of the workshop we recommend to  \n\nDive into the topic of Carbon Pricing with the Guide.\nLearn more about the SPP Carbon Pricing for Procurement Initiative\, the Carbon Pricing Principles and consider joining the Piloting Group.\n\n*** \n\nJoin the SPP Community for all events\, tools and more: sustainableprocurementpledge/register/\nLearn more about SPP Initiatives and how to engage: SPP Initiatives\nAs with all SPP events and platforms\, we ask attendees for active\, respectful participation and to refrain from sales pitches and solicitation.

SUMMARY:SPP Carbon Pricing for Procurement Initiative: Pilot Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:This event series is designed for participants of the SPP Carbon Pricing for Procurement Initiative who are wanting / willing to pilot the Carbon Pricing Principles for Procurement – or already doing so. \nThe Carbon Pricing for Procurement Initiative is a transformative effort aimed to accelerate global supply chain decarbonization. A cross-industry group of Chief Procurement Officers and Procurement Leaders have join forces to accelerate the sustainable procurement transition and best utilize the unique influence and huge lever for change that their role and the whole procurement profession has in sustainable development. \nCentral to this initiative is the collaborative creation of an actionable framework that enables Procurement professionals to incorporate carbon considerations into decision-making. By addressing the opportunities and challenges of integrating carbon pricing into procurement decisions\, these principles aim to promote meaningful reductions in emissions while supporting suppliers in their sustainability journeys. \nIn January 2025\, SPP released the draft Carbon Pricing Principles that were developed in close collaboration with over 235 industry leaders\, including Chief Procurement Officers\, sustainable procurement heads\, and champions from SPP’s Champions Program across diverse sectors. This collaborative effort lays the groundwork for the series of Pilot Group Meetings in 2025 aimed at expanding best practices and providing implementation support. \nIf you are already a part of the Pilot Group\, individual calendar invitations will be provided to you directly\, if you are missing the invite\, please write to kathrin@spp.earth. \nIf you are interested in joining the initiative\, learn more about the Carbon pricing for Procurement initiative on our website and sign up here.
