The Zero100 Podcast

Water is critical to both mitigating and adapting to the effects of climate change. It’s also essential to supply chains – from growing crops to manufacturing, to how consumers use products. In recognition of World Water Day, Kevin is joined by Emilio Tenuta, the SVP and chief sustainability officer at Ecolab, and Carmen de Miguel, the strategic marketing manager for the water and wastewater segment at Schneider Electric, for a conversation about the digital solutions at the heart of tackling increasing global water insecurity. Show notes: World Water Day Emilio Tenuta Ecolab Carmen de Miguel Schneider Electric A wave of change: The role of companies in building a water-secure world (CDP Global Water Report 2020) Alliance for Water Stewardship Ecolab Smart Water Navigator Ecolab Water Risk Monetizer Water Flow Intelligence Ecolab Global Intelligence Center BRK Ambiental Doug Baker Christophe Beck Ecolab Global Survey 2023  UN 2023 Water Conference Water Resilience Coalition: A CEO-led initiative committed to reducing water stress by 2050 World Resources Institute 

In celebration of International Women’s Day, we're joined by a panel of senior leaders in supply chain who reflect on the challenges and opportunities of being women in our field: Sarah Bonnaud, the vice president of supply chain transformation for the Estée Lauder Companies, Jennifer Han, the chief product supply officer of nutrition for Unilever, and Sheri Hinish, host of the Supply Chain Revolution podcast. They share candid insights about why they are drawn to their work, how their work aims to pave the way for other women, and what they hope the future looks like for women in supply chain. Sarah Bonnaud Estée Lauder Companies Miss Estee Lauder Roberto Canevari Jennifer Han Unilever Sheri Hinish Supply Chain Revolution Always Ask a Man? Women in the Workplace 2022 UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development – 17 Sustainable Development Goals The Not-So-Great Resignation (Adam Grant on stay interviews) Period poverty What is responsible sourcing? What Is the Glass Ceiling? Discovering the Glass Cliff: Insights into addressing subtle gender discrimination in the workplace 

With at least one third of food in the US going to waste every day (despite 34 million people nationwide living with food insecurity) and acting as the third largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in landfills, we need urgent solutions when it comes to food waste. In today’s episode, Victoria talks with two people whose work uses digital solutions to tackle this issue: Giulia Stellari, director for ESG and impact at Fall Line Capital, and Jackie Suggitt, director of capital, innovation and engagement at ReFED. Zero100 head of research, Colin Gilbert, joins Victoria to help synthesize what these insights mean for the future of zero percent carbon, 100% digital supply chains. Show notes: Giulia Stellari Fall Line Capital Jackie Suggitt ReFED Wasting food just feeds climate change, new UN environment report warns UNEP Food Waste Index Report 2021 Feeding the World Sustainably Food Waste and its Links to Greenhouse Gases and Climate Change From Farm to Kitchen: The Environmental Impacts of U.S. Food Waste Regenerative Agriculture 101 California’s Water Emergency: Satisfying The Thirst Of Almonds While The Wells Of The People That Harvest Them Run Dry Cutting edge technologies to end food waste  Bowery Farming Mimica Lab Olleco The Pacific Coast Food Waste Commitment Using Artificial Intelligence to Reduce Food Waste in Grocery Retail The National Goal for Reducing Food Loss and Waste UN: 17% of all food available at consumer levels is wasted Food inflation is also hitting farmers, says Land O'Lakes CEO Beth Ford

We’re kicking off the new year with some supply chain forecasting: what will 2023 mean for the profession? Kevin invites Angel Mendez, a 30 year supply chain veteran and the executive chairman on the board of LevaData, and Zero100 head of research, Matt Davis, on to discuss the year ahead, including insights on the digital transformations they hope and expect to see in the coming months.Show notes:Angel Mendez Microsoft Invests in Silicon-Battery Material Upstart Group14 Technologies Amazon’s started to deliver orders by drones in California and Texas Zero100 Supply Chain Predictions for 2023 Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 FourKites: Real-Time Supply Chain Visibility Platform Advanced Supply Chain Visibility | project44 Cloud Computing Services - Amazon Web Services (AWS) New Research: Reskilling & Upskilling in the Age of Automation These buzzwords show how work changed in 2022 Gen Xers Get Skipped Again And Yep, That's Exactly What They Expected Anyway Honeywell 2030 Skills: From Nice-to-Have to Must-Have World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2023, Davos 

Ongoing pandemic woes, inflation and geopolitical turmoil have put supply chains at the top of headlines nonstop for the past three years, and 2022 was no exception. In today’s episode, Kevin unpacks the biggest supply chain stories of the year with Marc Engel, the former CSCO at Unilever who currently sits on the boards of Zero100, Unilabs and Maersk, and Deborah Dull and Mike Silverman, two senior researchers at Zero100.  Show notes: Marc Engel  Updated Unilever statement on the war in Ukraine Green Mining Brazil COP27 Failure ESG should be boiled down to one simple measure: emissions The Word of the Year Goes Goblin Mode Netflix Security Tools: Chaos Monkey and Chaos Gorilla 

Global supply chains are still recovering from pandemic disruptions, while also trying to evolve toward sustainable operations. As we plan for the new year, supply chain leaders must ensure the right priorities and strategies are baked into their 2023 digital roadmaps. In today’s episode, Kevin dives into digital roadmap strategies and some real world examples with guests Willem Uijen, Chief Procurement Officer at Unilever, and Colin Gilbert, Head of Research Science at Zero100.Stress Test Your Digital Roadmap for Resilience and RecoveryGoogle Ngram ViewerUnileverWilliam Uijen

The energy that powers global supply chains is also the biggest source of carbon emissions on our planet. But what exactly does that mean? In today’s episode Deborah works to demystify the relationship between energy and carbon in supply chains with Sandra MacQuillan, chief supply chain officer at Mondelez International, Dr. Julio Friedmann, chief scientist at Carbon Direct, and Nalin Agarwal, co-founder of Climate Collective. Research manager Shelby Newsome also joins Deborah to share how digital threads could help decarbonize supply chains along with a few case studies of companies currently using them.   SHOW NOTES: Sandra MacQuillan Mondelēz International Dr. Julio Friedmann Carbon Direct  Nalin Agarwal Climate Collective Building resilient supply chains for the European energy transition Apple calls on global supply chain to decarbonize by 2030 'Clean Energy Charging' is coming to iPhones this year The wasted potential of garbage dumps Africa's access to universal electricity Zara party dresses made from CO2 AIR Vodka Aether Diamonds Microsoft will be carbon negative by 2030 Trimble Back to Source: Defining and Implementing Digital Threads Jaguar Land Rover x Circulor Jaguar Landrover tracking leather footprint Adidas x TrustTrace Porsche x Circularise
