Episode 014: MECLA - Reducing Embodied Carbon in the Building & Construction Industry with Monica Richter and Hudson Worsley
Reducing Embodied Carbon in the Building & Construction Industry with Monica Richter and Hudson Worsley. In this episode of the Procurement Podcast, Andy Franks and Christophe Barriere-Varju speak with Monica Richter and Hudson Worsley to introduce MECLA and the purpose of the Alliance. MECLA stands for Materials & Embodied Carbon Leaders' Alliance which is a collaboration of organisations that have come together to drive reductions in embodied carbon in the building and construction industry. MECLA seeks to align with the Paris Agreement [https://unfccc.int/process-and-meetings/the-paris-agreement/the-paris-agreement] targets and principles of the circular economy and recognise that the building and construction sector is a complex ecosystem. As you listen to this podcast we will touch on some of the key MECLA initiatives such as: 1. Demonstrating a clear demand and activating supply of low embodied carbon materials. 2. Developing common language for design specifications, procurement guidelines and tendering criteria as standard practice for government agencies and companies. 3. Better understanding and/or developing where appropriate benchmarking tools, measurements, implementation guides and practice notes, such as EPDs, LCAs, BIMs, definitions, principles and simplifying tools. 4. Knowledge sharing through best practice education, case studies, myth-busting, demonstrations, and supporting innovation in materials and processes as part of a pre-competitive approach. 5. Helping to manage industry’s climate transition risks, risks associated with adopting innovative materials and the required skills development. 6. Focussing on priority materials; steel, cement and concrete, and aluminium due to their carbon intensity. A must-listen podcast on this extremely important topic for our planet.

Episode 012: Using Procurement Collaboration to Improve an Organization with Paul McCarthy
Using Procurement Collaboration to Improve an Organization with Paul McCarthy. Paul McCarthy talks about buying products and services in a way that is effective, not necessarily cheap, but the best for your company, the best for right now, and the best for the future. Paul talks about a huge procurement knowledge gap that began with procurement employees that began their career post the 2008-09 financial crisis. With 10 years of expertise to 2019-2020, and a market now in decline, the focus is still buying as cheap as possible, but at the same time this approach expedites the decline of the market in the paper industry due to poor(er) profitability of its participants. And with COVID-19 coming along, the decline of the market has been even more dramatic. McCarthy regularly challenges his organization to look for everything and anything that is other than magazines and newspapers. He regular asks his staff -- quote -- "find ways to replace plastic with paper, don't ask children, ask your parents. Remember when fish was wrapped in paper not plastic?" Only by adopting a collaborative approach, paradigm shifts can occur, new uses of products can be identified and keep organizations alive. Finally, by ensuring all functions work in sync toward the same end goal -- and getting employees to buy into this paradigm shift, everyone should be able to sell the organisation. About Paul McCarthyManaging Director SCA Graphic Paper UK Limited. Driving sustainability in print and paper from the forest to the office. SCA £10.7bn turnover brands include GraphoCote, GraphoInvent and GraphoNews. McCarthy has spent 12 years in paper sales, most recently as publishing sales manager at Sappi Fine Paper Europe.
