Make carbon commercial
Understand how decarbonisation creates value, affects cost and risk, and can be built into procurement decisions and supplier incentives.
A practical business book by Martin Chilcott
Get Sh*t
Done
Real lessons from the superheroes decarbonising global supply chains.
A book about doing, not handwringing: how companies can turn supply chains into engines of carbon reduction — and make decarbonisation commercially compelling rather than a compliance chore.
The argument
Stop reporting.
Start reducing.
Most large companies know that Scope 3 matters. The harder question is how to turn climate ambition into day-to-day commercial action across procurement, product, finance and thousands of suppliers.
Get Sh*t Done focuses on that execution gap: how to move sustainability out of specialist silos and into the commercial core of the business.
“People know the levers. The challenge is helping them actually pull them.”
“This battle can be won. It is not impossible, just difficult. But difficult is what good businesses do every day.”
What you will take away
Practical ideas for turning strategy into action.
Get your house in order
Put accountability, usable data, category-level guidance and aligned incentives where the real decisions are made.
Engage suppliers differently
Segment suppliers by materiality, capability, ambition and strategic risk — then use the right combination of support, pressure and incentive.
From practitioners, not theory
Lessons from the people and companies leading the way.
The book draws directly on case studies, interviews and real-world experience from organisations working at the forefront of sustainable procurement and Scope 3 decarbonisation.
Who it is for
For people who need to make Scope 3 actually happen.
Especially relevant for Chief Procurement Officers, procurement and category teams, sustainability leaders, supply-chain professionals, finance teams and anyone trying to turn corporate climate commitments into operational reality.
It is deliberately practical: less time on abstract frameworks, more time on supplier engagement, commercial incentives, implementation and measurable reduction.

“Gives voice to the shared experience of Scope 3 pioneers and packages it in a way CPOs and CSOs can actually use.”
“A practical, supplier-aware playbook that has already landed well with sustainable procurement teams in pharma and adjacent industries.”
“Reading this felt genuinely cathartic — someone on the inside has finally laid out what sustainable procurement really looks like, in a way my colleagues and even my family can understand.”
