In this episode of The Supply Chain Dialogues, Daniel Helmig explores why achieving net-zero Scope 3 emissions by 2040 is so challenging. Featuring an interview with, let's call her, Dr. Elizabeth Schmitt, a CPO of a company participating in the research Daniel did. Based on her request, the interview is fully anonymous, since she feels repercussions from her former employer could happen when talking openly.

In the first episode of Season Four of 'Supply Chain Dialogues,' host Daniel Helmig discusses the surprising findings from the massive doctoral research on supply chain climate action in the discrete manufacturing industry. Contrary to his initial expectations, Daniel discovered significant flaws in the conventional wisdom surrounding emissions measurement, cost-benefit analysis, and regulatory impact. The episode sets the stage for a season-long exploration of these discoveries, emphasising the critical role of German manufacturing companies and highlighting the importance of focusing on Scope 3 emissions for effective climate action. With insights from 248 surveyed companies, the research aims to challenge and redefine global strategies for mitigating climate change.
