How TFS Is Transforming Sustainable Proc...

Victoria Meyer
About this episode

Accelerating sustainability through industry-wide collaboration is changing how chemical companies approach procurement, carbon reduction, and risk management. Victoria Meyer welcomes Jennifer Jewson, Chief Procurement Officer at LyondellBasell and President of Together for Sustainability (TfS), alongside Danielle Warnock, Senior Manager at Nouryon and TfS Regional Lead, to discuss how strategic alliances like TfS are driving real progress on sustainable procurement across the chemical industry. 

Victoria, Jennifer, and Danielle examine the foundations and impact of TfS: standardizing supplier engagement, launching shared audit platforms, and advancing product carbon footprint measurement to address complex Scope 3 emissions. The conversation covers how sustainable procurement is intertwining with business strategy, the challenges and realities of delivering on corporate sustainability promises, and how companies are equipping teams and the next generation of leaders to advance long-term change. Discover how collaborative platforms and disciplined governance are helping shape the future of chemicals, and why staying committed to sustainability is critical for competitiveness, growth, and continued license to operate. 

 

Victoria, Jennifer, and Danielle discuss the following topics on this week's episode: 

  •  Together for Sustainability unites chemical companies to create shared sustainable procurement goals.
  •  Sustainable procurement explained: What it means and why it matters
  •  How TfS members use common platforms and audits to simplify supplier engagement and data exchange.
  •  Companies balance regulation, market shifts, and sustainability priorities to future-proof the industry.
  •  Passionate professionals and peer learning accelerate supply chain sustainability.

 

Killer Quote:  We do together what we cannot do alone.” — Jennifer Jewson, on the collaborative power of the Together for Sustainability alliance
