Our guest on this week's episode is Scott Cornell, vice president, National Practice Lead—Transportation and Inland Marine at Travelers. Summer will soon be wrapping up, but the heat of summer will be around for a few more weeks yet, at least. Too much of that heat can destroy food and other products while they are in transit. How can we protect temperature-controlled cargo? We have some tips. As we approach peak season, a new survey shows that the supply chain sector is actually feeling more confident in their fulfillment systems for 2025 than they were in 2024. The research shows that 84% expressed confidence in their fulfillment systems for 2025, compared to the 70% of executives who entered peak season confident last year.Conditions in the truckload freight market have remained stable this year but coming peak-season shipping activity is likely to test that stability. This is according to some recent data from freight brokerage RXO, which released its latest quarterly Curve report earlier this month. We share the results of that research and what it may mean for pricing and truckload capacity. Supply Chain Xchange also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane. It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. A new series is now available on Top Threats to our Supply Chains.

In Episode 333, Kestrel welcomes Cate Havstad-Casad, a designer, entrepreneur, and first-generation regenerative rancher, to the show. Cate's work as a designer and land steward has evolved a great deal since she founded Havstad Hat Company in 2014. Today she manages Casad Family Farms with her husband, while building Range Revolution, a luxury leather goods brand focused on using 100% American, regeneratively sourced hides. “I love the idea of having things forever. I love the idea of a great leather boot being resoled again and again. My work in hats, I'm like the anti-growth capitalist. I'm like, you should have two hats, maybe three and that should be it for your whole life and you send it back to me and I will re-block it and clean it up and reshape it for you. That is the world of craft that I come from and so I bring that ethos to this work with Range Revolution and leathers.” -Cate AUGUST THEME — WELCOMING THE IN-BETWEENS IN LIFE, SUSTAINABILITY & FASHION This week's episode touches on a discourse that often fuels a lot of really intense reactions. I remember moderating a panel discussion about it in Berlin during fashion week that got very heated, and even recently, I hosted an Earth Day event in San Francisco, where the conversation suddenly got intense when this topic arose. If you guessed it – I'm talking about the oh-so-familiar LEATHER debate. There's a recurring dispute in the sustainability and fashion space that pins animal-based leather against vegan leather. It's often very this vs that oriented, and focuses on claiming which is quote unquote more “sustainable” than the other. A lot of the time, things get heated because leather is intrinsically linked to peoples' belief systems and values, which can leave very little space for the in-between. And I totally get where that passion stems from. At the same time, if you've been listening to Conscious Chatter over the years, you know there are no simple answers when it comes to the complexities of making products. And I don't think there is ever only one solution – we need to discover multifaceted approaches, considering the challenges we face with the climate crisis. From her lens as a craftsperson, designer and regenerative rancher, this week's guest is dedicated to rethinking waste in the animal agriculture space. One significant stat we learn from her is that – almost 5 million hides are wasted or thrown away annually in the United States alone. *source: Agriculture Utilization Research Institute With a mindset that “the most radical fibers are the ones that already exist” – she is pushing to disrupt the leather industry. For her, it's all about centering traceability, rethinking waste, and expanding the meaning of regenerative to not only include the land health, but also the health and wellbeing of the surrounding community. “We don't have regenerative outcomes on land if the people working within the systems. whether it be the land stewards or the people within the community that support those land stewards — if the community dynamics, if the economic dynamics are not also regenerative.” (15:40) Range Revolution Website Follow Cate on Instagram Follow Range Revolution on Instagram This week's episode is brought to you by Range Revolution.

The Kristina Farrell Episode: Fighting for Canada's Food System from the InsideIn this episode, hosts Phil and Kenny sit down with Kristina Farrell, CEO of Food & Beverage Canada, to explore the complex world of Canadian food manufacturing policy. Christina, who represents domestic food and beverage manufacturers across the country, breaks down the critical distinction between companies that actually make products in Canada versus those that simply sell here.From her team-of-two operation in Ottawa, Kristina tackles massive challenges including inter-provincial trade barriers, labor shortages, and the ongoing work on Bill C-5. The conversation reveals how 92% of Canada's food manufacturing companies have fewer than 100 employees, yet the industry remains the country's largest manufacturing sector—a fact that often gets overlooked in policy discussions.Kristina shares her journey from government bureaucracy to lobbying, explaining how she became the central coordinator between six provincial food and beverage associations and federal policymakers. The discussion touches on everything from why you've probably had more USDA beef than Alberta beef, to the surprising complexities of calling something "recyclable" under new Competition Act provisions.The hosts and Kristina dig into Canada's tendency to overcomplicate systems that should be straightforward, from food safety standards that vary by province to the challenges of getting recognition for an industry that feeds everyone but struggles to get the political attention given to "sexier" sectors like automotive or mining.Key topics covered:The difference between food manufacturers and CPG companiesInter-provincial trade barriers and Bill C-5Labor challenges in food manufacturingWhy Canada's food system is simultaneously world-class and poorly understood by CanadiansThe role of provincial food and beverage associationsSustainability challenges and greenwashing regulationsThis episode offers an inside look at the people working behind the scenes to keep Canada's food system running, and why understanding these complexities matters for everyone who eats.Find Kristina here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristina-farrell-b09ba549/Thank you to Field Agent Canada for sponsoring the podcast: https://www.fieldagentcanada.com/
Gerard delivered a keynote on Digitalisation, AI, Supply Chains and Electrification at the EcoVadis Global Summit.Gerard Reid argues that we are living through a new industrial revolution driven by digitalization, AI, and electrification, comparable in scale to the steam and automobile revolutions of the past. He highlights how China is rapidly outpacing Western forecasts in areas like AI, solar power, and electric vehicles, reshaping global competitiveness. Reid stresses that AI will transform industries—from healthcare to transport to energy—while massively increasing the world's demand for electricity, which will increasingly be met through solar and battery storage. His central message is that businesses and countries must adopt a growth mindset, embrace AI as an enabler, and adapt quickly—or risk irrelevance in the face of accelerating global change.EcoVadis is a globally recognized platform that provides sustainability ratings and assessments for companies, focusing on their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance. It evaluates businesses across four key themes: Environment, Labor and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. These assessments help companies manage ESG risks, ensure compliance, and improve sustainability practices across their operations and supply chains.
The future of AI in healthcare supply chain isn't just about smarter tools—it's about building a smarter system that delivers results. On this episode of Power Supply, we're joined by Cherie Brinkerhoff, Senior VP of Supply Chain Solutions at Ryder System, to talk about how AI transformation impacts not just technology, but the processes, people, and partnerships behind supply chain success. From large language models and their limitations to the rise of agentic AI built on specific data sets, Cherie shares how organizations can scale AI responsibly while keeping security front and center. Whether it's supporting research, easing administrative pain points, or creating secure pathways for providers and suppliers to share data, this conversation reveals how AI can drive real change where it matters most.

At the heart of The Prophets' vision are “The 24 Essential Supply Chain Processes.” What are they? Find out, and see the future yourself. Click here When OEMs change their schedules or requirements, the ripple effect through the supply chain can feel like a game of telephone. Messages get passed down the chain, sometimes altered and ignored, leaving those further down the line piecing together what has changed. That's the reality for Jenni Smith, VP of Supply Chain at Royal Technologies, who joins the show to share what managing that complexity as a tier two supplier is like.She explains how this constant guessing game makes planning nearly impossible and why direct visibility into the "why" behind OEM decisions is just as important as the numbers themselves.Jenni clarifies that communication and speed are non-negotiable, but doesn't stop there. At Royal, automation is a core strategy, not a side project. She talks about the company's use of robotics to offset labor challenges and how AI is helping them forecast demand, spot volatility, and identify risks months in advance.The conversation then turns to MMOG/LE. While many treat it as a compliance headache, Royal approaches it differently, using it as a framework to uncover process gaps, improve efficiency, and strengthen profitability. Jenni gives a practical example with packaging standards: on paper, Royal could pass certification, but by actually listening to warehouse teams and standardizing packaging, they unlocked real cost savings and smoother operations.But systems and standards only go so far if people are burning out. Jenni is candid about "supply chain fatigue" in today's unpredictable environment. Instead of ignoring it, she leans into knowing her team, rotating responsibilities, giving people recovery time, and jumping into the trenches alongside them during crises.When asked what she'd like to see from tier ones, Jenni's answer is simple: open the doors and invite tier twos in. Real efficiency happens when suppliers can see processes firsthand, ask questions, and solve problems together instead of working in silos. Engagement, she says, is the foundation of stronger relationships up and down the chain.Looking ahead, Jenni's focus is on stability—aligning Royal's supply base to MMOG standards and preparing for the next disruption before it hits. With a culture that values quality, delivery, innovation, and people in equal measure, Royal Technologies proves that even a tier two can lead the way in how supply chains adapt to the future.Themes discussed in this episode:How OEM requirement changes travel through EDI and disrupt tier two suppliersWhy communication speed and context are critical for supply chain stabilityThe role of automation and robotics in reducing labor constraints and boosting efficiencyUsing AI for demand sensing, forecasting, and identifying supply chain risks months in advanceHow MMOG/LE can be used as a tool for profitability and process improvement rather than just complianceThe rise of supply chain fatigue post-COVID and strategies to prevent burnout in small teamsThe value of AIAG membership for tier two suppliers and how it supports training and collaborationWhy stronger engagement between tier one and tier two suppliers is key to solving problems and building efficiency across the chainFeatured on this episode:Name: Jennifer SmithTitle: Vice President of Supply Chain at Royal TechnologiesAbout: Jennifer is the Vice President of Supply Chain at Royal Technologies Corp.,...

This episode is all about case study in circularity and a group of people turning waste into useful materials for the built environment. Daniel Dinizo and Charmaine Cu-Unjieng of NaturLoop are bringing a new bio-based product to market that transforms waste coconut husk into a material that's something between MDF and a particle board.For us, this presented a chance to talk about how sustainable materials are developed, the challenges of bringing them to market and how responsible businesses can approach supply chain development (the big challenge now). As professionals who work with LCAs, EPDs, and carbon calcs all the time it was refreshing to get into a product that will have an impact that can be accounted for in human terms, as well as the usual economic and environmental terms. They're also fundraising right now, so here's the pitch from Charmaine.NaturLoop at the Final Stage of Pre-Seed Funding"NaturLoop, the Swiss–Philippine climate-tech startup behind Cocoboard, is at the final stage of its pre-seed round. Cocoboard is the first industry-ready fibreboard made entirely from coconut husk waste and natural adhesives—a truly biocircular material. Featured at Interzum Cologne 2025, Cocoboard embodies the shift in construction and furniture toward biocircularity—no longer a trend but the future of materials. Europe's sustainable furniture market is set to more than double to $42.6 bn by 2032, with consumers paying around 10% more for sustainable products. NaturLoop is closing its round soon, inviting strategic investors to co-build a climate-positive business that reduces deforestation and uplifts poor coconut farmers—making the industry more future-proof."Notes from the showCharmaine Cu-Unjieng on LinkedinDaniel Dinizo on Linkedin NaturLoop on Linkedin The NaturLoop websiteA short film about Cocoboard®An investor CTA from CharmaineAn example of Cocoboard in use as a speaker box for a Schwab System**SOME SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**We don't actually earn anything from this podcast, and it's quite a lot of work, so we have to promote the day jobs.Follow us on the Zero Ambitions LinkedIn page (we still don't have a proper website)Jeff and Dan about Zero Ambitions Partners (the consultancy) for help with positioning and communications strategy, customer/user research and engagement strategy, carbon calculations and EPDs – we're up to all sortsSubscribe and advertise with Passive House Plus (UK edition here too)Check Lloyd Alter's Substack: Carbon UpfrontJoin ACANJoin the AECB Join the IGBCCheck out Her Retrofit Space, the renovation and retrofit platform for women**END OF SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**
Our guest on this week's episode is Chris Steiner, senior vice president of product management at Dematic. In the past, automation was often viewed as nice to have. But in these days of customer expectations for speed and shortages of available workers, automation is now a "must have." We often think of automation just being placed into shiny new facilities, but a lot can be done to automate existing legacy facilities. Our guests shares about the benefits of implementations in existing "brownfield" facilities and suggests tips for making them successful. The trucking industry is asking the federal government to accelerate recent efforts to ensure safety on the nation's highways; this is in reaction to a Florida crash involving a freight truck making an illegal U-turn on an interstate. The crash left three people dead. Trucking organizations are asking to suspend states' authority to issue non-domiciled CDLs (commercial driving licenses), which some states provide to non-U.S. citizens or out-of-state applicants under certain circumstances. The driver involved in the deadly crash had this type of CDL.Robotics technology has been developing really quickly in recent years, and it's been finding new applications in logistics. One of the newest areas where this is happening is in humanoid robots, which move around walking on two legs instead of rolling on wheels, and use two arms to grab totes and boxes. This week we saw some news about one of the latest advancements in the area, which is using artificial intelligence to allow them to learn new skills or movements from demonstrations by humans, instead of by following software code.Supply Chain Xchange also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.

Join us for a deep dive into the recent Air Canada labor dispute, an event that unfolded rapidly and sent ripples across the logistics and air freight sectors. From the initial strike announcement by CUP flight attendants on August 13th to the government's controversial intervention and the final tentative agreement reached just days later, we unpack the critical timeline. Discover the immediate and significant impact on air cargo, particularly the massive reduction in 'belly hold' capacity on passenger flights, which normally moves a huge amount of freight like pharmaceuticals and perishable goods. We'll also examine the core disagreements over wages and compensation and how this short-lived but high-impact event exposed the fragility of global supply chains, prompting crucial questions about your contingency plans.

Send me a messageIn this week's episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I'm bringing you a replay of my conversation with Rhea Rakshit, VP of Product at Sayari. While I'm away on holidays, it felt like the perfect time to revisit one of the most insightful discussions we've had this year, on ESG, supply chain transparency, and the shift from “tick-the-box” CSR to something far more strategic and impactful.Rhea and I unpack how regulation is reshaping corporate behaviour, forcing ESG out of the sidelines and into the core of business strategy. She explains why ownership of ESG can't sit in a silo, it needs cross-functional alignment, from procurement to compliance to operations. A key theme we explore is the balance between scope and scale: start small, win trust, then expand. Trying to boil the ocean from day one is a recipe for inertia.We also dive into what true visibility looks like in supply chains. It's not just about mapping suppliers, it's about tracing to raw materials, exposing risks like forced labour, deforestation, and climate impacts, and most importantly, creating data that is decision-ready. Rhea argues that the real test of ESG isn't reporting, it's remediation. If a supplier is found to be linked to harmful practices, what happens next? Do companies walk away, or work to improve conditions? That's where the real impact lies.We bring in perspectives from the Global South too, where the social dimension of ESG is often most acute, and Rhea shares why, despite the challenges, she's optimistic about the ability of businesses to build resilient, transparent, and ethical supply chains.If you're looking to understand how ESG in supply chains is evolving, from compliance headache to strategic advantage, this episode is well worth your time.Listen now and let me know what you think.#SustainableSupplyChain #ESG #SupplyChainTransparency #ForcedLabour #Deforestation #SustainabilityElevate your brand with the ‘Sustainable Supply Chain' podcast, the voice of supply chain sustainability.Last year, this podcast's episodes were downloaded over 113,000 times by senior supply chain executives around the world.Become a sponsor.

Ross Hickey of Shippeo talks about supply chain visibility - closing gaps, building future-proof tech stacks, change management, and driving business value. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [03.39] An introduction to Ross and his role at Shippeo, and a reminder of who Shippeo are and how they help their customers. [04.45] From in-transit uncertainty to the first and last miles, the typical blind spots Shippeo see with their customers, the problem of fragmentation, and why organizations often overlook key areas in their transportation networks. “Fragmentation really is the root cause behind so many problems.” [07.53] How businesses can start to evaluate their ecosystem to shine a light on blind spots and tackle fragmentation. “Organizations need to take a more diagnostic approach at the actual problem itself.” [10.24] Shippeo's seven value drivers, and how closing visibility gaps leads to overall performance improvement. “What if your logistics team had immediate access to information at their fingertips, understanding exactly what's going on with their shipment and proactively alerting the external stakeholders as to what's going on? Meaning any time a customer is reaching out, you can treat that as an escalation, that shouldn't be standard business as usual.” [15.25] How real-time visibility impacts key business outcomes for Shippeo customers. “Think of visibility as your system of information powering your system of orchestration.” [18.25] Understanding your ‘why' and leveraging that to build a business case for real-time visibility. [20.58] How organizations should be thinking about their tech stack as they look to translate visibility into business value. “The technology is the enabler, to enable people to become more effective in achieving the outcomes they want to achieve. So rather than focusing on: ‘What tech do I specifically need?' It's about identification of the problem, and aligning technology to that.” [25.31] The importance of partnership, and how businesses should approach choosing the right partner, ensuring that their investment is scalable and technology future-proof. [29.17] Why change management is critical to digital transformation, and how organizations can shift their teams mindset to work with new solutions in a more strategic, proactive way. “The technology works, but getting people to adapt to it, to work with it and use the information they're being given – that's the bigger challenge.” [34.04] Collaboration and what successful cross-functional alignment needs to look like. [36.27] Ross's final words of advice for listeners to take away from today's discussion.

What really counts when it comes to sterile storage—and what risks are hiding beneath the surface? On this episode of Power Supply, we're joined by Garrett Hollembeak, Infection Preventionist and AAMI TIR109 workgroup member, to explore the new guidance reshaping how sterile supplies are stored and transported. From temperature and humidity to chain-of-custody policies and receiving challenges, Garrett explains how TIR109 lays the foundation for smarter, safer sterile storage management. We'll also dig into cardboard debates, environment-of-care rounds, and the gray areas where policy, practice, and patient safety collide. Most importantly, Garrett highlights how supply chain and infection prevention can work hand-in-hand to close the gaps that put sterile storage at risk. Whether you're a supply chain leader, infection preventionist, or SPD manager, this conversation will change the way you think about storage!

Salted pig's trotter? Brains on toast? Why the carcass balance is important to farmers. We like steak but we're not so keen on tripe, and we eat a lot of chicken but not the feet. To both reduce waste and get the best price for the whole animal or bird we need to do something with the offal. This is carcass balance, balancing the sale of the popular bits with finding markets for the bits that are less desirable here. Those parts that can't be sold are sent for rendering, using heat to separate them into fats and proteins to be sold as animal feed, fertiliser or go into things like cosmetics.Shooting clubs on Salisbury Plain say they may have to close because they can't get a licence to release game birds. Clubs near protected areas, like Sites of Special Scientific Interest, now need a special licence from Natural England to release birds like pheasants and that's now harder to get because of the threat of bird flu. The British Association for Shooting and Conservation says the licensing system is legally flawed and it's issued legal proceedings against Natural England. However, the RSPB would like to see the licensing regime extended. New rules to make trade fairer for pig producers came in this week. A series of recent difficulties in the industry revealed that many farmers didn't have proper contracts for their stock. The new system aims to change that.Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
While official US July producer price inflation numbers were higher than expected, the signs of the progression of trade taxes were as expected. Supply chains have become longer and more complex—trade taxes progress down supply chains over months, not days. Rising producer prices without rising consumer prices does not automatically mean profits are being squeezed—it means goods in stores represent pre-tariff production, but goods at factory gates are increasingly using tariffed inputs.
Our guest on this week's episode is Joel Wayment, VP/GM at Cardinal Health Third Party Logistics and Packaging Solutions. We are definitely in the dog days of summer and in just about every part of the country we are really feeling the heat. While many people like to soak up the sun's rays, high temperatures are not so welcome for the pharmaceuticals we rely on to stay healthy every day. A lot of drugs have to be kept at strict temperatures to remain effective. But how challenging is it to assure proper conditions as drugs move through our supply chains? Our guest offers his expertise on how to assure the safety of important drugs while transiting summer heat.Incidents of cargo theft are on the rise. One of the most recent pieces of evidence is a report from supply chain visibility and risk analysis firm Overhaul. The company's United States Q2-2025 Cargo Theft Report found that cargo theft rose 33% year-over-year in the second quarter of 2025. That continues a steady climb in such incidents over the past few years. And they expect thefts to increase in the coming months of peak season.According to the management consulting firm Kearney, the global food system is breaking away from traditional operating models as companies are struggling to protect their operating margins. Rising costs of food production are having major impacts on the food supply chain. We discuss the problems and possible solutions.Supply Chain Xchange also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.

First off, we set up shop right on the warehouse floor where Andrew has built all three of these companies. The industrial-scale freight equipment and thousands of parcels and packages provided an incredible backdrop for the conversation—one that reflects Andrew's life's work, calling, and ambition to transform an entire industry. For those who'd prefer to see it, I encourage you to watch our conversation on YouTube.We talk about the advantages and pride of building in Cleveland, how he's raising a family of 11 children while scaling all three companies, what it's like competing against Goliaths like FedEx and UPS, and what he believes the future of logistics will look like. Andrew's clarity of thought, humility, and commitment to creating enduring impact are inspiring—it's not surprising he's been recognized with the Vistage Excellence in Leadership Award and named a Smart Business Dealmaker of the Year in 2023.-----LINKS:https://shipdelivered.com/en/https://www.linkedin.com/in/hurstandrew/-----SPONSOR:Roundstone InsuranceRoundstone Insurance is proud to sponsor Lay of The Land.

In this episode of the ChinaPower Podcast, Dr. Yanzhong Huang joins us to examine China's growing influence over the global pharmaceutical industry and the risks it poses for the United States. Dr. Huang explains how China evolved from a low-cost manufacturer of chemical inputs to a comprehensive pharmaceutical power producing advanced drugs and playing an important role in global pharmaceutical innovation. He highlights areas of acute U.S. dependence, from antibiotics and vitamins to critical precursor chemicals, and recounts how the Covid-19 pandemic underscored the vulnerability of U.S. supply chains. Dr. Huang explains the highly interdependent nature of global drug supply chains and notes that even if countries attempt to build alternative production capacity outside of China, they would still rely on Chinese suppliers at certain stages of the supply chain and would need years to replicate China's integrated industrial ecosystems. He concludes with an assessment of U.S. policy options for building resilience, including targeted de-risking of key medicines and diversifying suppliers among trusted partners. Dr. Yanzhong Huang is a senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations, where he directs the Global Health Governance roundtable series. He is also a professor and director of global health studies at Seton Hall University's School of Diplomacy and International Relations, where he developed the first academic concentration among U.S. professional international affairs schools that explicitly addresses the security and foreign policy aspects of health issues. He is the founding editor of Global Health Governance: The Scholarly Journal for the New Health Security Paradigm. Dr. Huang is the author of multiple books and reports, including most recently The COVID-19 Pandemic and China's Global Health Leadership, published in 2022.
