Most companies say they want to cut supply chain emissions.
Saskia van Gendt is actually doing it.
In this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I speak with Saskia, Chief Sustainability Officer at Blue Yonder, about the strategies, tools, and technologies helping global brands reduce Scope 3 emissions, cut waste, and build resilience, without sacrificing profitability.
We unpack:
• Why Scope 3 accounts for 60%+ of global carbon emissions, and how to tackle it
• The role of AI and real-time data in sustainable sourcing and transport optimisation
• How to set and track a carbon budget for your supply chain
• Turning returns into inventory instead of landfill
• The impact of regulations like CBAM on supply chain strategy
• Real-world results, from reducing a million transport miles to cutting food waste by 15%
If you’re a supply chain leader, retailer, manufacturer, or logistics provider looking for actionable sustainability insights, this episode is a must-watch.
