Andy's insights on ESG in procurement are spot-on. What's particularly exciting is how technology can transform sustainable sourcing from a compliance checkbox to a strategic advantage. Advanced tracking technologies like blockchain and AI-powered supply chain analytics are becoming game-changers in verifying labor practices and environmental impact across global supply chains. Imagine being able to trace a product's entire journey - from raw material extraction to final delivery - with real-time data on carbon emissions, worker conditions, and ethical sourcing. Technologies like IoT sensors, satellite monitoring, and machine learning algorithms can now provide unprecedented transparency, helping companies not just claim sustainability, but prove it. The future of procurement isn't just about buying goods; it's about creating responsible, traceable, and intelligent supply networks that deliver value beyond the bottom line.

ICYMI: ????? Our latest report, Cool Switch, examines a hidden opportunity for electrification that could cut on-site emissions from the residential sector by up to 30 percent. 2.4 million single-family homes in New York State have central air conditioners (ACs), and over 120,000 new units are sold statewide every year. When those ACs age or fail, cold-climate heat pumps could go in their place to both cool and heat a home. With generous incentives in New York, replacing central ACs with heat pumps that heat and cool year-round is often more affordable than replacing a furnace and central AC separately. Our report explores potential retrofits, costs and policy steps needed to advance this transition—a win for homeowners and the climate alike!
