Sustainability and resilience go hand in hand. Interestingly, however, while many organizations are clinging to their ambitious, long-term sustainability goals, the same cannot be said for their short-term day-to-day focus on sustainability. The ambition to treat sustainability as a key business objective is there, however, operationalizing sustainability is proving to be a barrier to progress. In this podcast, we're joined by Anne Robinson (Chief Strategy Officer) and Claire Milner (SVP EMEA) from Kinaxis, to discuss why the inability to operationalize sustainability is a hindrance to achieving long-term sustainability goals, and why it's imperative organizations start to treat sustainability with the same level of importance as other business objectives.

Adam Compain is the Founder & CEO of ClearMetal, a software company that specializes in international freight visibility, dynamic planning, and customer experience.

ClearMetal is based in San Francisco, CA. Key Takeaways: Way More Than Visibility  ClearMetal's three central premises: It's not about the metal; it's about the data. Need for better information to fulfill modern customer expectations. Value to finding the clean and accurate source of truth. Data and accuracy Even though data about location exists, in many cases, it lacks accuracy. When managing international business freight, with many touching points and parties involved, data that is accurate and makes sense is pivotal. What does visibility entail? Visibility is about access and aggregation of a network of data. It's also about applying the proper techniques and approach to make sense of the data with machine learning and data science-based techniques. International and global shipping is complex since it considers vast distances, time zones, parties, language, systems, and different vehicles. Chips provide contextual information for additional and more accurate data. But, it's not necessary. With data, customers access the same information. End-to-end global shipment Machine learning and data science techniques to ensure better quality and better predictability to make better decisions. Historial data to understand the likelihood of freight movement. Predictability leads to reliability and transparency, which customers appreciate. The correct data provides accurate guidance for reasonable decision-making. How to use visibility to solve business problems? With a fully-stocked network of data, businesses can to make decisions. Dynamic transport planning. Before anything is moving, visibility allows a company to foresee through different scenarios what the outcome could be. Predicational lead time and customer portal provide information that clients value, which is used for sales and customer service. For a modern customer, there is nothing more important than customer services within the supply chain.

Carl Wegner is the CEO of Contour, a blockchain-based open industry platform to create, exchange, approve, and issue Letters of Credit on Corda, R3’s blockchain platform. In this podcast, Carl talks through the challenges the trade finance industry faces in terms of digitisation since 2005 and how blockchain can represent an opportunity to reach that objective. Carl has been working in the Fintech space for the last 30 years in Asia. Twenty years in large banks such as Bank of Boston, Standard Chartered and Deutsche Bank on transaction banking, trade finance and cash management. Ten years in tech working at GT Nexus, at R3 setting up their Asian operations and now at Contour.   What is blockchain? To define what is blockchain, Carl prefers to take it down a notch and instead define what is distributed ledger technology (DLT). DLT is an opportunity for enterprises to manage their own data within their own database instead of via a central database. DLT participants own their data and have a protocol to share it. In comparison to blockchain where data is broadcast to everyone with a method of consensus, R3’s Corda, which Contour is built on, allows everyone to have their own database with a protocol to share their data in a selected manner.   International trade and the trust deficit In 2018, the global trade finance market was valued at $39.7 billion, according to Allied Market Research. Whilst, an ADB’s (Asian Development Bank) 2019 Trade Finance Gaps, Growth and Jobs Survey found that the global trade finance gap remains at around $1.5 trillion, nearly 60% of respondents expect the gap to increase over the next 2 years.   In international trade you have a trust deficit between buyers and sellers in far off countries. With the internet that trust deficit has been somewhat reduced. Prior to the internet buyers had to put money down for a shipment that may turn up three months later without necessarily knowing who the seller is. The challenge for SMEs is related to data. A bank as a lender, a facilitator of credit is looking not to make a mistake. The challenge for SMEs is to have sufficient information to fit the requirements of a bank’s traditional credit scoring sheet. Organisations like ADB and other development banks will step in and provide some support either directly with guarantees, with training to help SMEs on how to present themselves to banks and other actions. Fundamentally though, the challenge is around data. SMEs being able to provide the right data and bank’s understanding on how to use the data outside of just the traditional model. COVID-19 has created a “digital transformation opportunity for banks to use data in different ways to be more efficient with it and offer credit to a wider range of customers.   The state of digitisation in the trade finance industry Carl Wegner from FNian   In 2005, Carl Wegner participated at the APEC Paperless Trading Initiative where he produced a set of slides “Successes and Best Practices of Financial Supply Chain Automation in Asia. 2005 APEC Symposium on the Assessment and Benchmark of Paperless Trading, Beijing”. At that time, it was hoped that in 2 – 3 years all the APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) countries would digitise all of their documentation. The deadline for achieving that objective kept being increased until it was ultimately dropped. The idea of digitalization of trade isn’t new. How you set standards is one challenge. For example, the ten countries of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Countries) couldn’t agree on a set of standards that worked for all the countries. Each country didn’t want to give up on their own personal set of standards. When a bank lends money to a small factory owner they don’t know whether he will buy a sports car or the raw materials for the order. If he buys the raw materials the risk has to go down. If he has produced half of the goods the risk has to go down.
