Ollie has been travelling again, this time to Vermont in the US from whence he returned carrying bags of anecdotes from his time spent with a large group of chief sustainability officers from some of the world's biggest companies. “What are we going to do when we all miss our Scope 3 targets?” they ask themselves. It makes for a fascinating listen.
Sitting in the 'Scope 3 Practitioner Hot Seat' this time is Emma Howcroft, Global Sourcing Sustainability Director at the life sciences business, Avantor Sciences. The former Caffè Nero and GSK sustainability star has been engrossed in all manner of ESG challenges over the years – from packaging to human rights. And she is full of nuggets of wisdom on the subject of supply chain emissions. She’s especially vocal on the subject of data – capturing it, organising it, using it and, crucially, sharing it.
Meanwhile, Tom sits down with the impressive team behind Muir AI, co-founders Harris Chalat and Peter Williams. After leaving behind impressive roles at SpaceX and Amazon, the pair have quickly cemented their position in solving the biggest challenge of our time: supply chain emissions. Harris and Peter explain how their business is providing scaled product-level insights for supply chain optimisation – and what the future holds for Muir AI as an engine for decarbonisation of global supply chains.
Enjoy the show.
