I humbly acknowledge and honor the land and people of the Mvskoke/Muscogee Creek and Tsalaguwetiyi/Cherokee Nations on whose ancestral land University of Georgia is located, and I acknowledge and grieve for those enslaved people who were forcibly brought to these lands.

This is great, Star,

         Procurement is the sleeping giant of Scope 3 GHG emissions and resource impact, and deserves focused attention of Green Labs Champions, and education our procurement colleagues at every level (there are 3-4 levels of procurement).

         I am hopeful SPLC will bring some discipline and quantification of KPI"s to lab supplies: RFP's, contract bids, reviews and awards, then institutions will have meaningful benchmarks for quarterly business reviews to review their suppliers, especially the big distributors, (Fisher VWR, Thomas, )  Sustainability champions need tools at this phase to assist their procurement colleagues to make progress.  

        In Higher Ed, these tools and QBR's could be part of hands-on training for students.  See if you can bring a class, or show the recording to a student workshop.

        Looking forward to it.

        Allen
