Resilient Supply Chain

Send me a messageAI won’t fix broken decisions. Capital markets are driving sustainability. And climate risk is already a safety issue.So why are EHS and sustainability still treated as separate systems?In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Catryna Jackson, Global Environmental Health and Safety and Sustainability Advisor at Evotix, and Monique Parker, Chief Sustainability Officer at Elevra Lithium. Between them, they bring decades of frontline experience across EHS, sustainability, data, and operations. This matters now because climate disruption, regulatory pressure, and supply chain shocks are collapsing the gap between “operational risk” and “sustainability risk” whether companies are ready or not.In our conversation, you’ll hear how sustainability momentum in the US has been driven less by regulation and more by investors and insurers. We break down why climate impacts like heat stress, flooding, and wildfires are no longer future scenarios but immediate safety and continuity risks. And you might be surprised to learn why throwing AI at messy ESG data only makes bad decisions faster.We also get practical. We talk about why EHS teams sit on a goldmine of data, how integrating safety and sustainability changes risk visibility at board level, and where most organisations go wrong when they try to “just start reporting”. From CSRD data overload to supply chain engagement failures, this episode cuts through the noise and focuses on decision architecture, not hype.🎙️ Listen now to hear how Evotix and Elevra Lithium are reframing sustainability, risk, and data to build truly resilient supply chains.Podcast supportersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's generous Subscribers: Christian Sederberg Alicia Farag Kieran Ognev And remember you too can become a Resilient Supply Chain+ subscriber - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent episodes like this one and give you access to the full back catalog of over 460 episodes.Podcast Sponsorship Opportunities:If you/your organisation is interested in sponsoring this podcast - I have several options available.

Addison Stark, CEO and co-founder of AtmosZero, dives into the overlooked world of industrial steam. He discusses how electrification of steam boilers can significantly reduce emissions, a critical step in industrial sustainability. Addison reveals the advantages of heat pumps over traditional resistive boilers, highlighting their efficiency and scalability. He also explores the influence of European energy policies on this transition. Ultimately, he redefines the narrative around 'hard to abate' industries, suggesting that solving steam emissions is easier than many think.

Send me a messageCan your pension quietly sabotage your climate and supply chain goals without you ever knowing?What if one of the biggest risks to resilience isn’t logistics or energy, but where your money sleeps at night?In this episode, I’m joined by Scott Ryan, founder and CEO of Investature, to unpack a part of the sustainability conversation that’s usually ignored. Finance. Specifically, the financial supply chain hidden inside pensions, retirement plans, and long-term investments. And why it matters now, when climate risk, stranded assets, and resilience are colliding.We dig into why pensions, with their 20–30 year horizons, are paradoxically funding the very risks they’re meant to protect against. You’ll hear how financial supply chains can dwarf Scope 1, 2, and even Scope 3 emissions, and why most sustainability strategies still fail to account for them. We break down why reallocating even 1% of global capital could materially close the climate finance gap, without sacrificing returns or fiduciary responsibility.You might be surprised to learn why bonds, not equities, may be the most powerful lever for climate action, how “double bottom line” investing actually works in practice, and why education and incentives matter more than regulation alone. Scott also explains why ESG has become a distraction, and how clearer, data-driven financial choices can drive real behaviour change across organisations and supply chains.If you care about supply chain resilience, sustainability, risk, and visibility, this conversation connects dots most people never see. Quietly. Uncomfortably. Usefully.🎙️ Listen now to hear how Scott Ryan and Investature are reframing money as one of the most powerful tools for resilient, sustainable supply chains.Podcast supportersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's generous Subscribers: Christian Sederberg Alicia Farag Kieran Ognev And remember you too can become a Resilient Supply Chain+ subscriber - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent episodes like this one and give you access to the full back catalog of over 460 episodes.Podcast Sponsorship Opportunities:If you/your organisation is interested in sponsoring this podcast - I have several options available.

Send me a messageWhat if sustainability didn’t rely on good intentions, ESG reports, or awareness campaigns… but on incentives that actually change behaviour?In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Sunny Lu, Founder and CEO of VeChain, to unpack how blockchain can move sustainability from theory into action across global supply chains and everyday decisions.Sunny has been building in blockchain since 2015, long before the hype cycles, starting with enterprise traceability work at Louis Vuitton and going on to create VeChain as a platform focused on real-world adoption. At a time when supply chains are under pressure to deliver resilience, transparency, and credible sustainability outcomes, this conversation gets very practical, very quickly.You’ll hear how VeChain uses verified data, tokens, and gamification to incentivise positive actions, from EV charging and reusable cups to food traceability and waste reduction. We break down why demand, not technology, is often the real bottleneck holding sustainable supply chains back, and how aligning individuals, enterprises, and incentives can unlock scale. You might be surprised to learn how blockchain has already helped cut food traceability times from hours to seconds, or how millions of small, verified actions can add up to meaningful carbon, water, and plastic reductions.This isn’t a conversation about crypto speculation. It’s about trust, data, visibility, and designing systems that make the right choice the easy, economically rational one.🎙️ Listen now to hear how Sunny Lu and VeChain are rethinking supply chain resilience, sustainability, and risk through data-driven incentives and real-world adoption.Podcast supportersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's generous Subscribers: Christian Sederberg Alicia Farag Kieran Ognev And remember you too can become a Resilient Supply Chain+ subscriber - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent episodes like this one and give you access to the full back catalog of over 460 episodes.Podcast Sponsorship Opportunities:If you/your organisation is interested in sponsoring this podcast - I have several options available.

Send me a messageFreight is one of the biggest sources of supply chain emissions — so why is it still treated as an afterthought?In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Jared Spude, Vice President of Enterprise Solutions at Breakthrough, to unpack why freight has become sustainability’s blind spot — and why that’s now a resilience risk no supply chain leader can ignore.Jared has spent over a decade working at the intersection of freight, fuel, and sustainability, helping shippers move beyond siloed decisions and into data-driven trade-offs between cost, service, and carbon. And the timing matters. Cost pressure is back. Regulation is shifting. Tariff volatility is creating decision paralysis. Yet freight remains one of the fastest ways to cut emissions without breaking the bank.In our conversation, you’ll hear how empty miles alone account for a startling share of freight emissions — and why fixing them is harder than it looks. We break down why rail and intermodal are still massively underused, even with up to 70% emissions reductions on the table. And you might be surprised to learn that many companies are already paying for cleaner freight today… they’re just not measuring it, or taking credit for it.We also dig into Scope 3, why ton-mile accounting can mislead growing businesses, and how the most resilient shippers are using data, visibility, and long-term carrier partnerships to make sustainability a business decision, not a side project. No silver bullets. Just stackable wins that add up.🎙️ Listen now to hear how Jared Spude and Breakthrough are reshaping freight sustainability — and what practical steps you can take tomorrow to build a more resilient, lower-carbon supply chain.Podcast supportersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's generous Subscribers: Christian Sederberg Alicia Farag Kieran Ognev And remember you too can become a Resilient Supply Chain+ subscriber - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent episodes like this one and give you access to the full back catalog of over 460 episodes.Podcast Sponsorship Opportunities:If you/your organisation is interested in sponsoring this podcast - I have several options available.
