In the recent Green Renaissance episode with Nick Brooks (#4 Adapting to Climate Change), we briefly touched upon the impending climate risks that supply chains must adapt to. Following that discussion, I came across a CDP report that highlighted how companies can face ‘up to $120 billion in increased costs in the next 5 years due to environmental risks in their supply chains’.

I then decided to reach out to Sonya Bhonsle to help me dive deeper into the subject. Sonya is the Global Head of Value Chains at CDP, which is an organisation that helps companies and cities across the world disclose and manage their environmental impact. In this episode, Sonya discusses her role in shaping sustainable supply chains, and what steps some companies are taking to improve their impact on forests, water security, and the climate.
