Sustainable Supply Chain
The Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast is where sustainability meets supply-chain resilience and transformation - no fluff, no filters, just real conversations that matter. I’m Tom Raftery, and every Monday at 7 a.m. CET I sit down with global supply-chain leaders, startup founders, tech disruptors, and corporate changemakers to unpack the systems, data, and decisions shaping the future of sustainable and resilient operations. If your job touches supply chains, ESG, risk, resilience, or digital transformation, this podcast is made for you. Formerly known as The Digital Supply Chain Podcast, the show has evolved into a platform laser-focused on climate-smart innovation, ethical sourcing, decarbonisation strategies, circular-economy models, compliance, traceability, and tech-led solutions that scale. From Scope 3 emissions to supply-chain transparency and risk mitigation, we get into the gritty details - and yes, we have a bit of fun while we’re at it. ⚡ Sustainable Supply Chain+ subscribers get full access to all 460+ episodes in the archive. 🆓 Everyone can listen free to the latest 30 days of episodes, no strings attached. Our format is unscripted, informal, and always actionable. You’ll hear what’s working, what isn’t, and what’s next from the people doing the work - whether that’s tackling forced-labour risks, leveraging AI for supplier monitoring, re-localising production, or re-engineering procurement as a resilience engine. Want to shape the conversation? I’d love to hear from you. Drop me a line anytime at Tom@tomraftery.com, whether it’s feedback, a guest suggestion, or just a hello.
