environmental compliance

Hello, Digital Supply Chain enthusiasts! I'm excited to share with you the key insights from my latest podcast episode where I had the pleasure of discussing the evolving world of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) with Donavan Hornsby, Chief Strategy Officer at Benchmark Gensuite.

In our deep-dive conversation, Donavan brought to light how cutting-edge technology, including AI and computer vision, is reshaping risk management in the workplace. It's not just about identifying risks anymore; it's about preemptively addressing them to ensure safety and compliance in real-time.

We explored how companies, regardless of size, can leverage technology to not only meet compliance standards but also to push beyond them for greater operational efficiency and employee safety. This is particularly crucial in a world where regulations and expectations are continually evolving.

Donavan shared fascinating insights on the role of data management systems in helping companies transition from traditional methods to more sophisticated, integrated approaches. It's not just about avoiding penalties anymore; it's about building a culture that prioritises safety and sustainability at its core.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in how technology is revolutionising the way we think about and manage workplace safety and environmental compliance. Whether you're part of a large corporation or a smaller enterprise, there's something to learn and apply in your organisation.

Here is the link to the webinars on the Benchmark website that Donavan referred to https://benchmarkgensuite.com/webinars/, and don't forget to check out the video version of this podcast on YouTube.

So, tune in, get inspired, and let's keep pushing the boundaries for a safer, more sustainable supply chain world!

This episode features an interview with Robin Laine, CEO and Co-Founder of Transect, a SaaS company providing automated environmental compliance solutions for the built world.  Robin talks about advocating for the customer, making a product 10 X better than the competition, and the life cycle of a startup.

Quotes

*“We really should be the guide along a customer's journey, not the hero of their journey. Like they are the hero, right. We're just here to make their lives better. And so much of it is listening to their pain points, listening to what brings them joy, listening to the words that they say, and then writing them down and then saying them back to them. I mean, that's literally what we do. We do a lot of case studies with our customers and we'll take the exact words that our customers say about why they like Transect, some feature that's helpful for them, and we'll regurgitate it in a marketing campaign because we know that that's what their peers are used to hearing.”

*“We make money to control our destiny as a startup. The more that we can control our revenue, the more we have choice over who our future investors are, among other things. We're making money so that we can all continue to enjoy this really awesome culture that we've built and continue to build what we want to build and do what we want to do on our own timeline.”
