The Supply Chain Dialogues - Podcast
S02E12 - Planet - Talking supply chain, technology, procurement relevance, sustainability incl. potable water with former Group CEO of CIPS - Meeting Malcolm Harrison
CPO, Nestle, Group CEO of CIPS and CEO of British Crown Commercial Services are just some of the positions my guest held over his career.
Malcolm Harrison is one of the most distinctive procurement and supply chain leaders in Europe.
He's probably one of the most well-known and well-connected people I know in our field. Having been in charge of the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply Chain, CIPS, gives him a much wider view of many different industries than the average CXO in the supply chain.
He has a passion for driving competence and knowledge into the supply chain profession. As well as helping companies to manage sustainability challenges besides cost quality and supply chain resilience, bringing his FMCG background to the table to solve the issues.

S02E11 - Planet - Net-zero - here we come: The ’all-inclusive’ solution for GHG emission management: measuring, reporting, reducing
Do you have a good handle on your GHG emissions in your supply chain? Do you get all the data from your suppliers you need? Can you do Product Carbon footprint reporting? Do you know, where your low-hanging fruits are to reduce your carbon footprint in your supply chain?
If you are like many practitioners and leaders in the supply chain or operations areas, you struggle to get your suppliers to provide you meaningful GHG emission reporting and reduction plans for net zero. You will have an even tougher time using the data to draw actionable conclusions.
Thankfully in this episode, we have a dialogue with Prof Dr Christian Heinrich, co-founder of carbmee® and Professor of Digital Transformation to talk about ways to alleviate your struggle to become a GHG emission net zero, even in record time.
Enjoy!
S02E09 - Planet - Net zero by 2030? Moon shot or piece of moon cake?
Is net zero by 2030 a moon shot or a piece of moon cake?
Last week, I had the privilege of being invited to be part of the Procurement Asia Summit in Shanghai. About 300 top international firms, many with a strong Asian footprint spend three days comparing notes around sourcing.
I gave a keynote speech and was a juror on their prestigious China Procurement Success Award.
This is the updated version of that speech in our usual dialogue format.
Enjoy.
S02E03 GHG - The last business card you ever need
We are lucky to get CEO & co-founder of contactify, Lars Sager, into our studio to talk about transforming a category with a most innovative concept to net zero, maybe even negative zero.
To ease into the overall topic of getting all categories to net zero before 2050, we start with something that most of us use(d), although 80-90% of the category ends in the trash bin one week after being used...business cards.
Ten billion business cards are printed in the USA alone...
Lars will talk us through how easy it is to be innovative (I'd say even cool), improve branding and marketing, achieve stickiness in CRM, and do it carbon-neutral...while even saving money.
Enjoy & why not make it a habit to source categories with a net zero footprint...by taking the first step with...the last business card you'll ever need.
