It’s a take-over with James George from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation in this special holiday edition of the Supply Chain Revolution podcast. In the spirit of the holiday season, join us on Episode 49 as we explore hot topics and trends in 2020 and what is front of mind in circularity, sustainability, and supply chains in 2021. This has been the 'year of the pledges'... There are a lot of tables we can pull up to including pursuing 2030 goals, 2050 goals, but how much does this change things or is it simply a marketing opportunity for brands and companies? What about all the emissions that are happening NOW? Is this the year of social and greenwashing? Do people ever go back and check build sustainability commitments? According to James George, carbon offsets and “net zero” may be a license to get yourself out of a sticky situation; all carbon cycles are not created equal. We talk about 'the minimalist challenge' - removing stuff that doesn’t spark joy; when you get to day 16, things start to get clearer and you decouple the "need" for stuff; Sheri explores why we buy things and what's behind mass-consumerism. Lastly, how can we actually get people to care? 2020 has been the rise of empowerment in many ways. Where and how you show up in the world matters. You have control over what you do and mobilizing can be transformative. We all have a sphere of influence. How will you use yours in 2021?
