We engage and leverage key partners, alliances and multi-industry peers in thought leadership, benchmarking and best practices in procurement and supply chain.

  • Sustainable Supply Chain Alliance
    • We're a founding member of the Sustainable Supply Chain Alliance (formally the Electric Utility Industry Sustainable Supply Chain Alliance). SSCA is composed of more than 30 electric utility members across North America and includes over 60 supplier affiliate members. Its combined electric utility supplier spend is more than $120 billion.
    • The members of SSCA collectively produce 35 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere through their operations and annually divert over one billion pounds of material from landfill. All are working together across utilities and suppliers to reach climate and net-zero goals over the next several years. See the 2023 SSCA State of the Industry Report to learn more.
    • Entergy's procurement and supply chain and sustainability and environmental policy leaders have served on several key committees, subcommittees and working teams, including those focusing on:
      • Social aspects of sustainability.
      • Measurement of key suppliers’ sustainability performance.
      • Investment recovery.
      • Embedding sustainability questions in the utility sourcing processes.
      • Scope three emissions.
      • Methane gas.
      • Construction and renewables.
    • In 2020 and 2022, Entergy received the SSCA Utility Member of the Year award in recognition of leadership in transforming its supply chain organization to help current and future generations address and mitigate science-based climate change.
  • Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council
    • We’re a member of the Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council. The SPLC is a global community of purchasers, suppliers, advocates and experts committed to driving positive impact through the power of procurement.
    • SPLC connects members directly to sustainable procurement expertise and has a proven track record of supporting hundreds of organizations as they design and implement meaningful sustainable procurement strategies.
  • Entergy's corporate sustainability and environmental policy team
    • Procurement and supply chain sustainability has a direct line to corporate sustainability.
    • We actively participate alongside corporate sustainability and other business functions on teams designed to drive environmental impact like the environmental lead team and sustainability working group.
    • Both teams also frequently collaborate on training, reporting, thought leadership, continuous improvement and benchmarking focusing on environment stewardship.
