Sustainable Supply Chain Scope 3, AI, and the Data Gap – Real Talk with ENGIE Impact’s Paige Janson
We’ve all seen it - corporate sustainability targets set in boardrooms with no real plan to back them up. In this episode, I sit down with Paige Janson, CEO of the Sustainable Resource Management division at ENGIE Impact, to talk about what happens next, when the ambition meets the reality of data gaps, regulatory complexity, and internal resistance.
With nearly 20 years’ experience helping global organisations decarbonise, Paige shares practical insights into where companies are getting stuck and what’s needed to drive real change, not just write sustainability reports.
We cover:
- Why data - especially validated, recurring data - is the real gold standard for sustainability success
- How to avoid the common mistake of setting targets before understanding your energy and emissions baseline
- What’s needed to keep Scope 1, 2 and 3 reporting credible under growing scrutiny
- The link between executive accountability and actual progress
- How AI is already transforming carbon data management (and what’s coming next)
- Why aligning sustainability with core business operations - from finance to facilities - is critical
Whether you’re in supply chain, ESG, or just trying to make sense of Scope 3, this one’s worth your time.
