There’s plenty to learn and take away by listening to this, our third episode of the Scope 3 Podcast.
Christophe Quiquempoix, VP for global procurement at Schneider Electric, has picked up many plaudits (and one or two awards) for his company’s approach to decarbonising the supply chain. Ollie asks him to explain why and how he’s doing so well.
Christophe’s insights into how his team is structured, how he’s building capability internally and how he plans to go further, by optimising what the business buys (as opposed to simply reducing the supply chain footprint).
Then, we hear from Neil D'Souza, founder and CEO of Makersite, a company that has created product lifecycle intelligence software for good reason. “If you want to solve the climate problem you have to solve the product problem,” he says. With one billion products currently in existence somewhere in the world, sustainability folk have only really assessed around a quarter of a million of them (or 25%).
With two decades of product sustainability thinking and doing under his belt, Neil is frustrated. And he hopes Makersite is the answer, helping product teams deal with highly complex supply chain data – and spend less time on disclosures, and more time on designing and sourcing better, more sustainable products.
