In this episode Thomas Udesen, Chief Procurement Officer at Bayer, explains how Bayer Procurement is supporting the company’s sustainability efforts. Small hold farmers are an important partner for Bayer and the procurement team has developed an engagement process to help farmers to adopt sustainable farming methods.
Another important issue is the reduction of Scope 3 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. As for many companies 80% of the total GHG comes from scope 3 emissions. Bayer has started with a spend based approximation and is now focusing on the contributors and encouraging them to report via CDP. Thomas is also one of the founders of The Sustainable Procurement Pledge. More information can be found in the LinkedIn group here.
