Sustainable Supply Chain Driving Change: A Deep Dive into Sustainable Fleet Practices
In this enlightening episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I had the pleasure of hosting Erin Gilchrist, VP of Fleet Evangelism at IntelliShift, and host of the Straight Talk on Fleet podcast. Erin brought a wealth of knowledge and practical advice to the table, discussing the multifaceted approach needed for achieving sustainability in fleet management beyond the simple transition to electric vehicles.
We delved into the significance of leveraging technology and data to enhance fleet safety, efficiency, and sustainability. Erin highlighted the critical role of telematics in monitoring and managing fleet operations, advocating for a data-driven strategy that supports informed decision-making.
An interesting point Erin made was about the importance of internal collaboration within organisations. By bringing together legal, HR, operations, and supply chain teams, fleets can develop comprehensive sustainability plans that align with organisational goals and drive significant improvements.
Erin also shared valuable insights on change management and the necessity of setting realistic sustainability goals, reminding us that progress in sustainability is a journey, not a sprint. It's about making incremental changes and adapting to new technologies and practices that collectively contribute to a more sustainable future.
