This is the third show in our “Give your business a fresh start” series, in partnership with BluJay Solutions.

In Episode 2, “Simulation: The Future is Here” we talked to Pam Reeber, Director of Solution Consulting at BluJay Solutions, to talk all about simulation, and using AI to model scenarios within the supply chain so we can predict the future and stay ahead of the game.

Today in Episode 3 “Your Global Impact,” we’re joined by Patrick Maley, the Chief Marketing Officer at BluJay, to talk about the hugely important topic of sustainability. We’ll be discussing the impact of international shipping, how we can use technology to help us with our eco commitments and exactly how BluJay are helping us to facilitate them.

 

IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

[13.46] From conversation and connectivity to picking the low-hanging fruit, practical ways to start introducing change in your business.

“If you look at the silver lining, the pandemic has really exposed some long held business practices and thoughts that we haven’t been questioning. “

[19.01] How BluJay are helping their customers to improve their sustainability strategies.

“Our solutions are designed to reduce waste; they’re naturally built for sustainability. So companies who employ our solutions use fewer trucks and they drive less miles.”

[25.07] The different levels of sustainability stakeholders within a business – and taking the lead from Heineken.
