“Net-Zero Procurement: Procuring a fix to climate change” with Bob Willard, Founder and Chief Sustainability Champion, Sustainability Advantage Date/Time: Tuesday October 29th, 6:00 – 7:00 pm PDT Abstract: We have a climate crisis. Governments’ pledges to reduce their countries’ GHG emissions are insufficient and unfulfilled. Most businesses are sitting on the sidelines waiting for governments to fix climate change. That won’t happen. Unless businesses set and meet science-based net-zero targets, the climate cannot be stabilized. Bob Willard will outline how we can unleash the buying power of governments / companies / organizations as a powerful market force that mobilizes businesses in the race to net-zero. Learning Objectives: By attending this webinar, you will learn: • What Net-Zero Procurement is, as a high priority subset of Sustainable Procurement • Why companies need to use it to reduce their supply chain’s GHGs • How a free, open-source toolkit enables any organization to smoothly integrate net-zero procurement elements into its current procurement system. • A Master Plan to globally deploy Net-Zero Procurement to fix the climate crisis Co-sponsored by: IEEE-USA, IEEE SSIT, IEEE IAS, IEEE OES, IEEE PES, IEEE TEMS, IEEE SA Speaker(s): , Bob Willard Agenda: 6:00 PM Introduction of Speaker 7:00 PM Adjourn Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/436870
