• Inside the Future of Sustainable Supply Chains: AI, Scope 3, and the Power of Supplier Data

  Send me a messageIn this week’s episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Jamie Barsimantov, VP of Supply Chain Strategy at Sphera, to explore what it really means to build a sustainable, resilient, and data-driven supply chain in 2025.Jamie brings a fascinating perspective, from his early days as an environmental researcher to founding SupplyShift and now helping global enterprises at Sphera manage sustainability and operational risk at scale. We discuss why sustainability isn’t a finish line but a continuous journey - one where information, not intention, is the true currency.Jamie explains why chasing total transparency can backfire, how companies can avoid “death by analysis,” and why the smartest supply chain leaders are using software and AI to turn supplier data into meaningful action. We unpack the major shifts driving this new era - from EU regulations like the Deforestation Regulation and CBAM, to the rise of supplier diversification, and the growing demand for product carbon footprinting.We also talk about how political polarisation, tariff uncertainty, and global supply disruptions are reshaping corporate priorities, and why aligning sustainability with core business goals is no longer optional, it’s existential.If you’re looking to understand how to cut through the noise, engage suppliers effectively, and build a future-proof supply chain grounded in credible data and climate impact, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.🎧 Listen now and discover how to move from analysis to action, and from risk to resilience.Keywords: sustainable supply chain, Scope 3 emissions, ESG software, supplier engagement, AI in sustainability, EU deforestation regulation, supply chain transparency, product carbon Elevate your brand with the ‘Sustainable Supply Chain’ podcast, the voice of supply chain sustainability.Last year, this podcast's episodes were downloaded over 113,000 times by senior supply chain executives around the world.Become a sponsor.

• How AI Drones Are Revolutionising Warehouse Operations – and Building Resilient Supply Chains

  Send me a messageIn this week’s episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I sit down with Jackie Wu, CEO and co-founder of Corvus Robotics, to explore how AI and autonomous drones are redefining inventory management, and what that means for the future of supply chain resilience.Most warehouses today still rely on people with barcode scanners trudging up and down aisles, a slow, error-prone, and frankly unsustainable process. Jackie’s team has built the world’s first fully autonomous drones capable of flying through massive warehouses, some the size of ten football fields, to scan inventory in hours instead of weeks.We talk about why inventory accuracy is the invisible foundation of supply chain sustainability: if you don’t know what’s where, you can’t optimise, decarbonise, or even plan effectively. Jackie explains how real-time data from drones helps companies reduce waste, prevent stock loss, and cut emissions linked to overproduction and unnecessary transport.We also dive into the importance of building resilience through visibility, the limits of traditional automation, and why AI-driven robotics are finally ready to move from lab demos to real-world industrial use. Jackie shares insights on the future of AI in the physical economy, vertical integration, and why autonomy, not just automation, is the next leap in supply chain efficiency.If you’re curious about how robotics, data, and design thinking can make operations smarter, safer, and more sustainable, you won’t want to miss this one.Listen now to learn how autonomous drones are helping warehouses take sustainability, and resilience, to new heights.#SupplyChain #Sustainability #AI #Automation #Resilience #WarehouseInnovation #InventoryManagement #CorvusRobotics #TomRafterElevate your brand with the ‘Sustainable Supply Chain’ podcast, the voice of supply chain sustainability.Last year, this podcast's episodes were downloaded over 113,000 times by senior supply chain executives around the world.Become a sponsor.

• Decarbonising the Marine Industry: How Data and Design Can Cut Emissions at the Source

  Send me a messageIn this week’s episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I sat down with Ollie Taylor, Founder & Director of Marine Futures, to talk about one of the toughest nuts to crack in sustainability, decarbonising the marine industry. Boats, big or small, don’t often top climate discussions, yet their materials, manufacturing, and fuel use carry a hefty footprint.Ollie explains how Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) can reveal the true environmental cost of marine products, from resin to recycling, and why so many “green” designs turn out to be anything but. We unpack how his platform, Marine Shift 360, is helping designers and builders make data-led choices early in the design phase, where up to 80% of a product’s total impact is decided.We also dive into the data problem: how poor visibility, outdated datasets, and supplier secrecy distort sustainability claims. Ollie argues that transparency, education, and automation are key to bringing LCA into the mainstream, making it as essential as CAD or CFD in engineering.Other highlights include the promise of circular design to stabilise volatile supply chains, the limits of regulation versus commercial pressure, and why profitability and sustainability must align for real progress.If you care about data-driven design, circularity, and cutting emissions at the source, this episode is worth your time.🎧 Listen now on your favourite podcast platform or at sustainablesupplychainpodcast.comKeywords: marine decarbonisation, lifecycle assessment, circular design, sustainable manufacturing, Marine Shift 360, supply chain sustainability, low-carbon boats, sustainability data, LCA toolsElevate your brand with the ‘Sustainable Supply Chain’ podcast, the voice of supply chain sustainability.Last year, this podcast's episodes were downloaded over 113,000 times by senior supply chain executives around the world.Become a sponsor.

• Data, AI and Lean Principles: How to Cut Waste and Carbon in Supply Chains

  Send me a messageIn this week’s episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I sit down with Dag Calafell, Director of Technology Innovation at MCA Connect, to explore how data and digital tools are reshaping manufacturing and supply chains. With more than 25 years of experience in steel and automotive, Dag has seen first-hand how waste creeps into processes, and how technology can help eliminate it.We dig into why so many organisations are still running core planning on Excel, and what happens when companies move beyond disconnected systems towards true data visibility. Dag explains how AI, IoT, and smart sourcing agents can transform supplier relationships, reduce risk, and embed sustainability directly into day-to-day decision making. He shares striking examples, from a food manufacturer wasting energy on unnecessary refrigerated transport, to a materials producer that boosted forecast accuracy by 60% and cut excess inventory by nearly a third.The conversation also touches on lean principles, the power of continuous improvement, and the role of executive alignment in setting measurable goals for carbon reduction. We talk about future supply chain models too, whether lights-out factories, robotics, or distributed manufacturing networks that reduce transport emissions.For supply chain leaders, the takeaway is clear: sustainability is inseparable from efficiency. When you collect the right data, apply the right tools, and commit to improvement, you not only cut costs and boost resilience, you reduce your environmental footprint at the same time.Listen in for practical lessons and forward-looking insights that can help your organisation modernise, decarbonise, and stay competitive in an increasingly complex supply chain landscape.Elevate your brand with the ‘Sustainable Supply Chain’ podcast, the voice of supply chain sustainability.Last year, this podcast's episodes were downloaded over 113,000 times by senior supply chain executives around the world.Become a sponsor.
