This is the second in our series of podcasts exploring sustainability and the logistics industry.

We have one familiar voice and also someone new to introduce you to.

This edition explores the motivations to be more sustainable and how age generations have differing perspectives on the criticality of the journey to net zero. Focusing on the younger generations that will be consumers and customers for longer was discussed.

We explored the risks and benefits of Sustainability, and then had a broad discussion on how critical a great record on sustainability can be to recruit, retain and motivate staff.

The team updated on the current and impending legislation and what the likely impacts will be, supported by a discussion on available incentives.

We explored what sort of tools are available to fleet-led businesses to help transform towards sustainability, and then cast our minds forward to the future Fleet Operator of 2030.

In addition to this, we mused about Maritime Motorways and the need to re-imagine how distribution is carried out.

We have another in the ALAS! series of podcasts with Keith Holdsworth of Perception Group.

We are following a track of understanding how future supply chains can become more sustainable, the trade-off of working capital against sustainability, the impact of poor forecasting on sustainability, whether we are delivering to "want" or "need" criteria, whether it is more sustainable to collect from a retailer or deliver to your home, the value of having an eCommerce "green button," collaborative e-Fulfilment, and cubic melons!

How predictable are our demands across the supply chain really are and how is the predictability improving could completely remodel our supply chains?We managed to touch Keith's raw nerve (no supply chain professionals were injured in this podcast!)

We conclude with considering the desirability of "slackness" in supply chains and the need for us to ask Super Human questions of the technology that supports supply chains.

We hope you enjoy the podcast, feel free to interact, challenge and support.

Final question: Chips or Fries? Which is better?

Final Final Question: Did we only mention AI once?
