In this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Paul Byrnes, CEO of Mavarick AI, to dig into one of the toughest challenges facing manufacturers today: Scope 3 emissions.
Paul brings a rare mix of data science expertise—he holds a PhD in statistical machine learning and worked in the Apple and IBM supply chains—and hands-on manufacturing experience through his family’s orthopaedic implant business. Together, we explore how AI and data can transform supply chain sustainability.
We cover:
✅ Why primary data is set to become the new standard in carbon accounting
✅ How to boost supplier engagement and tackle data accuracy problems
✅ Real-world examples where AI has uncovered decarbonisation levers with clear ROI
✅ The environmental footprint of AI itself—energy, water, rare materials—and what “responsible AI” looks like
✅ Practical first steps for supply chain leaders feeling overwhelmed by Scope 3
This conversation is packed with insights for anyone serious about building smarter, greener, and more profitable supply chains.
