Tackling Scope 3 emissions in the Supply Chain

In the push to net zero, agricultural businesses are looking to manage the complexities with measuring and reducing their emissions.

Join Brooke Donnelly, General Manager Sustainability at Coles; Maria Crawford, Livestock Innovation and Sustainability Manager at Coles; and Andrew Mercer, a supplier into Coles’ Carbon Neutral beef range, for a fireside chat about tackling the decarbonisation challenge in the supply chain.

Brooke and Maria will share their insights into how Coles is engaging with suppliers to address its Scope 3 emissions, and how its producers in the supply chain are starting to engage.

Andrew, from the family property ‘Springwood’ near Hamilton in SW Victoria will share reflections as a farmer leaning into the challenge and provide practical advice on how others could approach emissions reduction, for example through improving herd efficiency, optimising the use of digital tools and data and investigating the potential use of new technologies.
