Hosted by Tom Raftery, technology evangelist, sustainability thought-leader, and former SAP Global VP, the show features C-suite executives, founders, and innovators from across the world’s most influential companies. Together, we explore how organisations are building supply chains that can withstand shocks, adapt to change, and lead in a decarbonising economy.

From supply chain resilience and risk mitigation to AI-driven visibility, circular design, and ESG transformation, we unpack the data, systems, and strategies shaping global operations.
You’ll hear from the people actually doing the work - the ones leading on:Because a supply chain can’t be sustainable unless it’s resilient, and it can’t be resilient unless it’s sustainable.
