Session Overview This training is designed to help Southwark's small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) tackle the most challenging aspect of their Net Zero journey: Scope 3 emissions. These are all the indirect emissions that occur in your value chain, encompassing your supply chain, waste management, business travel, and digital services. Crucially, Scope 3 often represents the largest portion of a business's total carbon footprint. We will clarify that while you don't have operational control over these sources, your business has significant power to influence and reduce them through smart procurement and policy choices. We will cut through the complexity of the GHG Protocol, providing a clear, practical, and non-technical roadmap for identifying, measuring, and most importantly, reducing your business's Scope 3 footprint through achievable, actionable steps. What You Will Learn · Understanding Scope 3: Get a clear overview of the most relevant Scope 3 categories for small and medium-sized businesses. We show you how to identify the biggest emissions sources, like procurement and waste, regardless of your sector. · The Power of Procurement (Upstream): Learn how to use your purchasing decisions—the Upstream part of your value chain—to implement achievable internal policies and strategic planning that lower the emissions tied to the goods and services you buy. · Collaborating with Suppliers: Understand the fundamentals of engaging with your supply chain to gather essential information and collaboratively drive shared reduction goals. · Managing Your Indirect Impact (Downstream): Learn how to strategically address emissions from business travel, waste management/circularity, and digital services—the Downstream activities you influence every day. · Your Next Steps: Walk away with a priority checklist and a curated list of free resources for starting or advancing your Scope 3 measurement and reduction plan. Who Should Attend This session is ideal for SME owners, directors, and managers in Southwark who have begun measuring their Scope 1 & 2 emissions, or who are ready to take their first practical steps toward a comprehensive Net Zero strategy. No prior carbon accounting experience is required, as the session is designed for participants who may be at different stages along their decarbonisation journeys. How to Register Our training sessions are open to all London-based SMEs with fewer than 250 employees. Up to three employees per business are invited to register for each session. In order to join this training, please ensure your organisation has completed the Southwark Climate Collective Registration Form.

Many sustainability professionals talk about a transition to the circular economy. But what does that look like in practice? To what extent is it different from just recycling? In this jargon-busting workshop, we’ll explore how to practically apply the ideas of circularity within your organisation. We’ll also dive into why it matters, examining what really goes on in the UK’s waste system, how different materials are made, and the supply chains that affect our resources. Kirsten Zoe Smith, Net Zero Strategist at Recorra, will guide you through: Expect plenty of visuals, real-world objects, and interactive elements - including a chance to ‘Test the Trainer'! Whether you’re new to sustainability or looking to build on what you’re already doing, this constructive session will help you decipher circularity.

Greener Tech Choices: How to Reduce Your Digital Carbon Footprint

This online session for SMEs will explore how IT-related decisions, such as choosing low-carbon laptops, managing cloud services and storage, and extending device lifecycles, affect an organisation’s emissions. Participants will conduct a “Digital Declutter” quiz. This should help them gain confidence in choosing sustainable digital tools and allow them to leave the session with the understanding needed to adopt smarter practices around email storage, device use, maintenance and procurement, in order to reduce their digital carbon footprint.

Embedding Sustainability into your Supply Chain Policies This in-person session is aimed at helping SMEs integrate sustainability into their procurement policies. Participants will look at ways to identify high emission purchases and carbon “hotspots” within their supply chain and to highlight priority areas for action. The session will include guidance on engaging with suppliers, asking key environmental questions, and incorporating simple sustainability clauses into contracts. They will leave with the confidence and tools to prioritise sustainability in their procurement and to ask the right questions to allow them to favour local, ethical, or low-carbon suppliers and products.
