Most brands can’t see their own suppliers.
Not really.
Not past tier 1.
Food is the hardest example - and the most revealing.

A single scanner can stop a global operation.
But it doesn’t have to.
Here’s how proactive maintenance, circular design, and AI are redefining resilience and profitability across supply chains.

Most people think sustainability in transport is about EVs and hydrogen.
But what if I told you the real revolution is happening inside 10-van fleets, not BYD factories?

Every refinery burning in a war zone tells the same story: our energy system is built on fragility.
Pipelines can be bombed. Tankers hijacked. Prices held hostage.
But as Bill McKibben put it - “It’s hard to drone a solar panel.” 🧵

Climate change isn’t just an environmental issue.
It’s a risk management crisis.
Boards, insurers, and central banks already know it. The question is: do we act on it?

Corporate climate pledges sound impressive.
But most are little more than smoke & mirrors.
Not a single major company analysed in the 2025 Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor scored “high integrity.”

Short take: capital follows certainty, talent follows funding, supply chains follow both.
Europe + China are sending clear signals. The US is sending mixed ones.

60%+ of the world’s carbon emissions come from supply chains.
Most of them are Scope 3 - invisible, indirect, and stubbornly hard to control.
But they’re not impossible. 🌍

60-80%+ of global carbon emissions come from supply chains.
Most of them are Scope 3 - emissions you don’t even directly control.
So… how do you actually cut them? 🤔

Procurement is broken. Here’s how we fix it.
Too often, procurement is seen as a bottleneck. Slow, reactive, stuck in the past.
But what if it could be a profit centre, and a catalyst for a more sustainable future? #sustainability

EVs reduce emissions by 73% over their lifetime compared to petrol cars.
Not 7. Not 30. 73%
And yet… we’re still debating?
The fossil fuel lobby has spent decades perfecting the art of delay.
Now they’re peddling FUD about EVs: too dirty, too expensive, too inconvenient.
None of it holds up. 🧵 1/8
