For the first episode in our special Green Edition of Behind the Mask, we are talking with Daniel Anthes — Speaker, Author, Food Activist, and Social Entrepreneur — on his work to reduce food waste. The connection between food, sustainability, and transport is so strong, and it affects all of us. But the common advice to “buy local” may be only half the story. Daniel explains how to calculate the environmental impact of the food we eat based on where it's grown, how long it's stored, and what is seasonal at the time.

It was a shock to the system for Head of Supply Chain & Logistics, Thomas Muschalla, when overnight, staying, and working from home became routine back in March 2020. It transpired that Rigips' prior investment in digitalization formed the platform that has enabled the company to operate successfully since lockdown began – supported, of course, by the video conferencing tech that's taken the world by storm. However, some things just aren't the same virtually. While there's no going back to the world we knew before CoVid-19, Thomas joins us for this week's podcast to explain how trust in your colleagues and the occasional face to face conversation are essential in the next normal.

One of the first to issue advice on risk and recovery in the context of the pandemic, Gartner remains focused on scenario-based forecasting to support shippers and carriers on their steady road to recovery. In this episode, VP Supply Chain EMEA, Frank Vorrath, discusses how emerging tech is predicted to accelerate even faster as the logistics industry responds to greater demand for environmental transparency, enables more dynamic supply chains and embraces a leap forward in digital adoption in the next normal.

For Eva, the impact of the pandemic became real on a personal level when her daily commute past the airport became a whole lot quieter. This week, Eva Končanina joins us from the office in Lithuania to share her experience as a female leader in the typically male-dominated logistics industry, the moment Girteka realised Covid-19 would impact the whole world, and how lockdown enabled her to see the magic in the simpler things.

While the world stayed home with their pets, many people in the pet supplies industry had no choice but to stay on the front line to ensure our furry friends didn't go without. This week on Behind The Mask, Andreas Reuther joined us to reflect on how adapting to change every day has become routine for so many of us in 2020, and made us more resilient as a result.

This week on Behind the Mask, host Oliver Kahrs chats to Ian Mears from Etex Group. An Englishman living in Belgium, Ian shares his views on how different nations continue to experience lockdown in different ways, recognising the global medical community for the personal sacrifices they've made to prioritise the health and lives of others during such difficult times. Day to day, Ian is Business Process Manager, Transport and Warehousing at global industrial group, Etex, where his role is all about harmonizing processes to enable expansion and growth. For him, embracing a more digital way of doing things signals the future for the building industry, whether we're in lockdown or not. But can you guess what Ian misses the most about office life?

This week on Behind the Mask, we're joined by Daniel Fuchs, VP of Group Partnership at Coface. Join us to get a glimpse into what recovery might look like, as Daniel provides an important reminder that the new normal will vary greatly across countries, regions and sectors. Daniel offers an expert view of the economic crisis accelerated by Covid-19 related restrictions, and the role a global credit insurer like Coface has played in insuring trade credit and keeping the economy running. But, perhaps most importantly, what have we learned? Listen in to get Daniel's perspective on positive trends witnessed despite the difficulty, and how there's nothing like a crisis to drive digitalization.
