Make it Zero Supplier Summit

Make it Zero is delighted to host a summit to engage our members' suppliers.

This is a must attend event that will introduce important developments for suppliers and highlight a new sector-wide approach to emission reduction, data-sharing and a new ambition to drive low-carbon and circular materials. Scope 3 decarbonisation relies upon close collaboration between retailers and suppliers and we are hosting a summit to introduce Make It Zero and to share some of the exciting developments and practical support on offer to help your suppliers.

This summit is a unique opportunity for our members to actively engage their suppliers and to work together to decarbonisation our sector. By encouraging your suppliers to attend, you will help strengthen shared understanding, align expectations, and accelerate the collaborative action needed to reach our climate goals.

During the event, we will officially launch two major initiatives co developed with our members to support supplier engagement and accelerate climate action across the sector:

• The Supplier Engagement Standard

• The Plastics Low-Carbon & Circular Ambition

These frameworks are designed to help you set clear, consistent expectations for suppliers and to provide them with practical guidance on how to advance their own low carbon and circular strategies. The summit will provide a clear statement to suppliers that the sector is aligned behind a consistent approach to supplier engagement providing clarity as to what suppliers can expect going forward and a strong signal that there needs to be a step-change in the sectors decarbonisation actions.

We will also provide an update on our data strategy, including the innovative work underway on product data and the development of a consistent, sector wide approach to product carbon footprints in collaboration with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD). Sharing this directly with suppliers will help streamline future data requests and create a stronger, more aligned approach across the value chain.

Your active involvement, alongside your suppliers’ participation, is essential to driving meaningful progress. We encourage you to take this opportunity to invite your suppliers and ensure they are part of this important conversation.
