Sustainable Supply Chain Why Real-Time Data Is the Missing Link in Product Carbon Footprinting
In this week’s episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I sit down with Simon Kim, CEO and founder of Glassdome, to unpack a critical and fast-evolving area in sustainability: product carbon footprinting (PCF).
We explore why accurate, site-specific emissions data is becoming essential for manufacturers, not just to comply with EU regulations like the Battery Passport and Digital Product Passport, but to stay competitive in global markets. Simon shares how Glassdome collects real-time data directly from factory floors, bypassing outdated guesswork and generic industry averages that can’t support real decarbonisation.
We also examine:
- Why the EU is setting the global pace for sustainability regulations
- The role of primary data in supply chain emissions reporting
- How even SMEs can affordably modernise their data infrastructure
- Glassdome’s partnership with Siemens and what that signals for future data exchange
- What best-in-class emissions tracking could look like by 2030
For manufacturers wondering where to start, Simon makes it clear: get your data infrastructure in place and begin engaging your supply chain. You can’t manage what you can’t measure.
This episode is a must-listen for supply chain professionals, sustainability leads, and anyone interested in the future of carbon accounting in manufacturing.
