Digitalising Sustainability: The Key to Smarter, Greener Supply Chains
In this episode of The Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I sit down with Klaus Brettschneider, Director of Sustainability Products at Linx-AS, to explore a game-changing concept: the Sustainability Thread.
Sustainability reporting is becoming a massive burden for businesses, with fragmented data, multiple regulatory frameworks, and manual processes slowing progress. Klaus breaks down how digitalisation - through automation, AI, blockchain, and IoT - can transform sustainability management, enabling companies to go beyond compliance and take real action.
💡 What you’ll learn in this episode:
✅ Why sustainability reporting is overwhelming teams - and how to fix it
✅ How digitalisation can streamline carbon accounting and lifecycle assessments
✅ The role of AI, blockchain, and IoT in supply chain transparency
✅ Why industries like steel and cement are making progress, while agriculture struggles
✅ The impact of new regulations like CSRD and EUDR on supply chains
✅ Why aligning IT and sustainability strategies is the missing link for many companies
If you’re in supply chain management, ESG reporting, sustainability, or procurement, this episode is packed with practical insights you won’t want to miss.

![Jonathon Porritt on Civil Disobedience, Climate Activism, and the Science–Politics Gap
In this episode of the Climate Confident Podcast, I’m joined by legendary environmentalist Jonathon Porritt to unpack the hard truths about the climate crisis, the widening science–politics gap, and why civil disobedience has become an essential tool for change.
Jonathon shares insights from his new book Love, Anger, and Betrayal, co-authored with young activists from Just Stop Oil, giving voice to a new generation of campaigners fighting for a liveable future. We discuss the crackdown on protest rights in the UK, the corrosive influence of fossil fuel subsidies, and why the insurance industry could be the unexpected catalyst for systemic change.
Despite decades on the frontlines, Jonathon still holds onto what he calls “authentic hopefulness” — a belief that we can build a fairer, more compassionate society if we face the crisis with honesty and courage.
