The Sustainable Supply Chains Panel at Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE: Sustainability brought together leaders from consultancy, finance, environmental services, and technology to assess the state of sustainable supply chains. While progress has been made, the panellists agreed that significant challenges remain - particularly around Scope 3 emissions. Key barriers include poor supplier communication, supply chain complexity, resource limitations, and an overreliance on carbon metrics alone. The discussion explored practical solutions, including the role of technology, while emphasising the importance of realistic, tailored approaches that account for the diverse capabilities of suppliers, especially SMEs. The panel also shared insights on future-proofing supply chains, underscoring the value of clear expectations, strong stakeholder engagement, and a holistic, transparent strategy. The panellists: * Maureen O'Shea, Sustainability & Supply Chain Partner, Baringa * Paul Williams, Director Supply Chain Sustainability, Deutsche Bank * Michael Ford, Principal HSE & Sustainability, Avetta * Caroline Grey, Co-Founder, Chief Revenue Officer, Treefera
