Hello, folks! In this episode of the Digital Supply Chain podcast, I had the pleasure of hosting Jonathan Orpin, founder and CEO of New Energy Works and Pioneer Millworks.

Jonathan shared insights into his journey of revolutionising the timber and construction industry with a staunch commitment to sustainability. We dived deep into how New Energy Works adopts eco-friendly practices, focusing on the use of reclaimed and sustainably harvested wood. Their innovative approach to timber frame construction and wood product manufacturing is not just about creating beautiful structures, but also about environmental stewardship.

One of the episode's highlights was the discussion on the challenges and innovations in sustainable supply chain management. Jonathan elaborated on their strategic move to wood-based insulation products, citing its environmental benefits over traditional materials. This shift is a testament to their ethos of ecological responsibility and sustainable development.

Another captivating aspect was learning about their transition to an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). This bold step ensures long-term company stability, fosters employee investment, and aligns perfectly with their mission-driven approach.

For anyone in the supply chain sector or those passionate about sustainable practices in business, this episode is a treasure trove of insights. Jonathan's narrative is not only inspiring but also a call to action for businesses to think and act sustainably.
