Facing rising pressure to cut emissions without disrupting operations, organisations know incremental change won’t be enough in 2026. The real advantage now lies in getting clear, actionable visibility into supply chain and services emissions—so teams can reduce risk while delivering measurable savings. 

Our recent launch event featured Olympic leadership, proven institutional case studies, and AI-powered analytics coming together to demonstrate how large, complex organisations can uncover practical improvement opportunities and achieve rapid 5–10% reductions in both cost and carbon. 


Key topics: 

  • Turning Supply Chains into a Near-Term Advantage: Why supply chains often hold 70–90% of emissions—and how better data and optimisation make reductions achievable. 
  • Building Climate-Resilient, Low-Carbon Supply Chains: Lessons from healthcare procurement that translate to any organisation balancing cost, resilience, regulation, and reliability at scale. 
  • Making Services Emissions Actionable: How clearer categorisation and new analytical approaches are bringing outsourced and indirect emissions into focus. 
  • Moving from Insight to Execution: What tools, methods, and governance help teams deliver measurable impact quickly. 

Olympian Climate Champions demonstrates how organisations can apply proven methods to deliver measurable progress—reducing cost, cutting carbon, and strengthening resilience across operations and suppliers.
