- Boost supply chain companies’ capacity to invest in renewable energy through education and data accessibility.
- Foster synergy among different industries tackling shared challenges in supply chain climate action.
- Encourage supply chain companies to escalate their renewable energy goals and commitments.
- Establish new renewable energy buying communities in pivotal manufacturing regions.
Apple and Nike initiated the project through the Clean Energy Buyers Institute (CEBI) and were joined by Amazon, Meta, PepsiCo, and REI Co-op as founding organisations to plan and execute the Clean Energy Procurement Academy.
The founding organisations pooled their expertise and internal training resources to design this shared training curriculum and delivery processes that enable trainees to rapidly mature as clean energy customers.
In addition to this, The Clean Energy Procurement Academy is also supported by the We Mean Business Coalition and will inform curated insights to support more energy customer companies, supply chain partners, and geographies.
Through the collaborative efforts of these corporations and suppliers, the initiative aims to rapidly advance clean energy procurement, address Scope 3 emissions, and decarbonise global supply chains.
