Today I'm talking to Matthew Yamatin. I found him through the Sustainable Procurement Pledge.
He published a case study on how Thermo Fisher engages with both customers and suppliers on renewable electricity adoption. Fascinating and a great topic for the show. So I invited him on to discuss all things renewable electricity. Matt has a background as an environmental engineer. He has worked with sustainability and renewable electricity across the US and China, and he's now sustainability program director at Thermo Fisher.
He's both passionate and incredibly knowledgeable about renewable electricity. So this was a fantastic discussion and we really got to nerd out. We talk about how to adopt renewable electricity programs in the supply chain, both power purchasing agreements and suppliers installing on-site generators. We'll touch on the state of the renewable electricity sector, what's going on with SBTI and the greenhouse gases protocol when it comes to recognizing renewable electricity.
We'll talk about something called the DUCT Curve, and we'll even comment on geopolitics and China versus the US, which is particularly interesting, as it was only a few weeks ago when we recorded this that China announced their first ever climate targets and the US abandoned the Paris Agreement.
This is a really good one.
