Supply Chain Now

Plenty of global companies have made big headlines with their bold carbon reduction commitments---but how much have logistics played into those goals? Luckily, transport is making its way into the carbon conversation as companies like GoodShipping help organizations replace fossil fuels with biofuel to create carbon insets, effectively reducing carbon emissions within the industry. In this Logistics with Purpose crossover episode, learn more about the most optimal way currently available to reduce emissions from a supply chain perspective as co-hosts Enrique and Monica chat with GoodShipping Commercial Lead Katarin Van Orshaegen about current challenges, the future of biofuel and more.

Governments and regulators across the globe are stepping up their oversight of corporate operations so they can drive more ethical and environmentally sustainable business practices. Each effort to uncover harmful and unethical business practices - such as environmental degradation, unfair or unsafe working conditions, and modern slavery – increases the challenge for procurement and supply chain professionals increases.

 One such example, the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, takes effect on June 21, 2022. It states that all goods made in Xinjiang, China will be presumed to involve slave labor unless the company can prove otherwise. Like other ESG laws, the Uyghur FLPA will require companies to increase visibility into first-tier suppliers as well as sub-tier suppliers. What do we need to do to prepare for this act and other ESG laws and regulations?

 In this livestream-based crossover episode of Dial P for Procurement, Kelly Barner and Scott Luton welcome Constantine Limberakis, Senior Director of Global Product & Solutions Marketing at riskmethods, to discuss:

• Who the Uyghurs are and why they and the autonomous region of Xinjiang are they being singled out for international oversight

• What products and commodities are exported from this region, and how many industries and/or supply chains will be affected by the new law

• The questions that remain open about how this law will be enforced and what the penalties will be for those who do not comply

The Supply Chain Buzz is Supply Chain Now’s regular Monday livestream, held at 12n ET each week. This show focuses on some of the leading stories from global supply chain and global business, always with special guests – the most important of which is the live audience!

With regular host Scott Luton on the road, Kelly Barner, host of Dial P for Procurement, stepped in to kick the week off right with Greg White. After trying to logic their way through the fan appeal of the USFL, they took four top news stories and discussed them individually before looking for connections between them.

In this session, created in collaboration with a live Supply Chain Now audience, Kelly and Greg covered:

• Why the anticipated sudden reopening of the port in Shanghai may be too much of a good thing for other port cities around the world

• How successful Tempur Sealy is likely to be in their quest to diversify sourcing so they can mitigate the risk of future China lockdowns

• Whether working in the metaverse will help Kraft Heinz solve its supply chain problems

• Does our amusement at the Ukrainian “hacktivist” DDoS attack on Russia’s vodka supply chain outweigh the concern about cybersecurity in general?

As companies continue to try and stabilize after the disruptions of the last two years, industrial space is playing a key role in their response. 73% of all available space in the United States was booked in the first quarter of the year, indicating that the lack of space seen today will either continue or become more acute in the coming months – even as labor shortages persist and interest rates increase.

Supply Chain Now’s Scott Luton was recently joined by three people with considerable expertise in this area. Matt McGregor is an Executive Vice President at Colliers International, Nick Pell is the Chief Investment Officer at Link Logistics, and Brandon Page is their Executive Vice President and Head of Leasing.

They took this opportunity to discuss what they are seeing in the industrial space today and how a number of macro trends are likely to come into play:

• Whether talk of reshoring is translating into action, and where in the country new construction is focused

• What we can learn from labor analytics and how it affects the ROI on investments automation

• Their projections for rental rates and optional deal length

For those of us already working in business, the conflict in Ukraine, COVID, and warehouse space shortages are three disruptions in what has been a very challenging last few years. But for the students getting ready to graduate from college with degrees in supply chain and management, they combine to equal job security for the foreseeable future.

Scott Luton recently had the chance to speak with two seniors about to graduate from Texas Christian University and Dr. Travis Tokar, a professor of Supply Chain Management with the Neely School of Business at TCU. Anne O'Connor will be graduating with a degree in supply chain and value management, and Jacob Mutscher is graduating with a double major in supply chain and value management and business information systems.

In this conversation, they share their well-educated views on:

• Why supply chain was the most appealing course of study for them, and what they hope to be able to do with the degree after graduation

• The global supply chain trends they are tracking while completing their studies

• The importance of investing in college-level supply chain programs, and how they are positioning students to succeed after graduation
