Implementation in the United Kingdom
The CO2 Performance Ladder has expanded to the UK in partnership with Action Sustainability, an award-winning consultancy specialising in sustainable procurement. They are leading the pilot in collaboration with key government bodies like Transport for London (TfL). With a focus on reducing supply chain emissions, this initiative aims to help UK organisations meet net-zero carbon goals by using the Ladder as a strategic tool in public tenders.
As sustainability gains importance, tools like the Ladder play a vital role in driving change. Together, SKAO and Action Sustainability aim to accelerate decarbonisation through smart, climate-conscious procurement.
“The vast majority of most organisations’ carbon impacts lie in the supply chain. If any organisation is serious about reaching Net Zero Carbon, they need a robust plan to reduce their supply chain scope 3 emissions. This is where sustainable procurement and the CO2 Performance Ladder come in.“
– James Cadman, Head of Consultancy & Climate at Action Sustainability
