Spend Matters has partnered with SIG for a 5 part podcast series to showcase this year's Future 5 list – a group of newly emerged procurement technology start-ups that you should know about. Over the next 2 months leading up to our Procurement Technology Summit in April, we'll be interviewing the founders of each featured company to find out what it means to be a Future 5.

Up first, is Circulor – a supply chain visibility vendor that tracks minerals starting at the mine and continuing to the OEM using reporting data and statistical process-control methodology. Dawn sat down with Circulor's Founder and CEO, Douglas Johnson‑Poensgen, to discuss how Circulor is empowering businesses to achieve their ESG Goals.
