How Sustainable Supply Chains Are Changing Business

1
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:00,250
I'm going to

2
01:00:00,250 --> 01:00:01,500
challenge you on this episode.

3
01:00:01,500 --> 01:00:02,875
I'm going to challenge in the way you

4
01:00:02,875 --> 01:00:04,625
think about how we can

5
01:00:04,625 --> 01:00:06,333
lower our impact, not only

6
01:00:06,333 --> 01:00:08,333
as an individual or as a community, but

7
01:00:08,333 --> 01:00:10,000
businesses and how they can

8
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:11,833
lower their impact and not

9
01:00:11,833 --> 01:00:14,250
just one aspect of a product or service,

10
01:00:14,541 --> 01:00:16,125
but the entire thing.

11
01:00:16,125 --> 01:00:18,125
So if you're having a product like an

12
01:00:18,125 --> 01:00:19,833
orange juice and you are

13
01:00:19,833 --> 01:00:21,458
looking at how you can lower

14
01:00:21,458 --> 01:00:23,750
your impact, how do you lower your impact

15
01:00:23,750 --> 01:00:24,791
when you are serving

16
01:00:24,791 --> 01:00:25,916
it in a plastic bottle

17
01:00:26,125 --> 01:00:28,458
compared to how you actually cultivate

18
01:00:28,458 --> 01:00:30,958
and grow the oranges and

19
01:00:30,958 --> 01:00:32,000
how do you use pesticides?

20
01:00:32,458 --> 01:00:32,916
Do you not?

21
01:00:32,916 --> 01:00:35,208
Do you have to clear out an area to build

22
01:00:35,208 --> 01:00:38,375
a farm to build that that farm with where

23
01:00:38,375 --> 01:00:39,291
you grow the oranges?

24
01:00:39,666 --> 01:00:41,541
And there's all these different types of

25
01:00:41,541 --> 01:00:42,416
things that we think about

26
01:00:42,416 --> 01:00:44,750
when we talk about making

27
01:00:44,750 --> 01:00:47,250
a product that we only focus on one or

28
01:00:47,250 --> 01:00:48,750
two aspects of the product.

29
01:00:48,750 --> 01:00:51,458
When we can actually find ways to reduce

30
01:00:51,458 --> 01:00:52,791
our impact from a

31
01:00:52,791 --> 01:00:54,583
product in various ways that

32
01:00:54,625 --> 01:00:56,000
might actually have a bigger impact.

33
01:00:56,291 --> 01:00:57,916
So we're going to talk about this because

34
01:00:57,916 --> 01:00:59,458
on today's episode I have

35
01:00:59,458 --> 01:01:00,958
on the program Christophe

36
01:01:00,958 --> 01:01:01,541
Girardier.

37
01:01:01,541 --> 01:01:03,250
He's a CEO of Glimpack.

38
01:01:03,708 --> 01:01:05,583
He's from France and he's talking about

39
01:01:05,583 --> 01:01:07,333
his business and how he created it.

40
01:01:07,333 --> 01:01:10,916
Glimback to basically put together a

41
01:01:10,916 --> 01:01:12,458
business that will help

42
01:01:12,458 --> 01:01:15,000
businesses lower their impact

43
01:01:15,125 --> 01:01:18,041
based on a mandate by the European Union.

44
01:01:18,291 --> 01:01:19,333
It's going to be a fun episode.

45
01:01:19,333 --> 01:01:20,000
Let's start the show.

46
01:01:21,166 --> 01:01:22,250
Hey everybody.

47
01:01:22,250 --> 01:01:24,666
Welcome back to the show. Hey everybody.

48
01:01:24,666 --> 01:01:25,833
Welcome back to another exciting episode

49
01:01:25,833 --> 01:01:27,125
of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast.

50
01:01:27,375 --> 01:01:28,333
I'm your host, Andrew Lewin.

51
01:01:28,583 --> 01:01:29,583
And this is the podcast where you find

52
01:01:29,583 --> 01:01:30,166
out what's happening

53
01:01:30,166 --> 01:01:31,208
with the ocean, how you can

54
01:01:31,208 --> 01:01:32,750
speak up for the ocean and what you can

55
01:01:32,750 --> 01:01:33,750
do to live for a better

56
01:01:33,750 --> 01:01:35,791
ocean by taking action.

57
01:01:35,791 --> 01:01:37,666
On today's episode, I said I'm going to

58
01:01:37,666 --> 01:01:38,750
challenge the way you

59
01:01:38,750 --> 01:01:40,208
think about products, not only

60
01:01:40,208 --> 01:01:42,291
as an individual and consumer, but also

61
01:01:42,291 --> 01:01:44,208
as a business owner maybe

62
01:01:44,208 --> 01:01:46,000
or how other businesses,

63
01:01:46,333 --> 01:01:47,708
large businesses and corporations can

64
01:01:47,708 --> 01:01:49,791
change the way they impact the

65
01:01:49,791 --> 01:01:50,958
environment, but not

66
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:52,583
only being able to make money off of

67
01:01:52,583 --> 01:01:55,166
products, but having a lower impact on

68
01:01:55,166 --> 01:01:56,166
the actual environment,

69
01:01:56,458 --> 01:01:58,541
not just in climate, not just on the

70
01:01:58,541 --> 01:02:01,000
oceans, but on several aspects of

71
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:02,416
protecting the planet.

72
01:02:02,416 --> 01:02:05,375
When you are able to reduce it overall,

73
01:02:06,041 --> 01:02:07,291
now you're talking about

74
01:02:07,291 --> 01:02:08,291
having a product that's

75
01:02:08,375 --> 01:02:09,875
much better for the environment and not

76
01:02:09,875 --> 01:02:11,416
just one aspect because

77
01:02:11,416 --> 01:02:13,000
we know that our planet

78
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:18,166
is not just being destroyed by using just

79
01:02:18,166 --> 01:02:19,833
regular old climate

80
01:02:19,833 --> 01:02:20,041
change, but also by the

81
01:02:20,958 --> 01:02:22,083
way, we're looking at marine plastics,

82
01:02:22,083 --> 01:02:22,958
we're looking at

83
01:02:22,958 --> 01:02:24,000
fisheries, we're looking at a lot

84
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,375
of different aspects of deforestation, a

85
01:02:26,375 --> 01:02:26,708
lot of different

86
01:02:26,708 --> 01:02:27,750
aspects, and there's ways that

87
01:02:27,750 --> 01:02:30,166
we can lower our impact overall and have

88
01:02:30,166 --> 01:02:31,375
a better influence on

89
01:02:31,375 --> 01:02:33,250
our overall environment.

90
01:02:33,250 --> 01:02:34,750
So we're going to be talking to

91
01:02:34,750 --> 01:02:36,000
Christophe Girardier,

92
01:02:36,208 --> 01:02:38,708
who is a CEO of Glimpact.

93
01:02:38,708 --> 01:02:40,250
We talked a little bit about how he

94
01:02:40,250 --> 01:02:42,041
became the CEO of Glimpact.

95
01:02:42,041 --> 01:02:43,458
And he's talking about customers that he

96
01:02:43,458 --> 01:02:44,000
works with,

97
01:02:44,541 --> 01:02:45,666
corporations, large corporations in

98
01:02:45,666 --> 01:02:47,625
the fashion industry, agro-food industry

99
01:02:47,625 --> 01:02:49,458
and others, where he

100
01:02:49,458 --> 01:02:50,666
talks to them and works with

101
01:02:50,666 --> 01:02:52,791
them on how they can lower their entire

102
01:02:52,791 --> 01:02:54,625
global imprint, their

103
01:02:54,625 --> 01:02:55,666
environmental imprint

104
01:02:56,166 --> 01:02:58,750
based on looking at their entire supply

105
01:02:58,750 --> 01:03:01,291
chain and how they can reduce it overall.

106
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:03,041
It's a fantastic episode.

107
01:03:03,041 --> 01:03:04,708
It's a wonderful interview to do.

108
01:03:04,708 --> 01:03:06,208
I love this one because this really

109
01:03:06,208 --> 01:03:07,458
challenged the way I

110
01:03:07,458 --> 01:03:08,833
thought of looking at plastics.

111
01:03:08,833 --> 01:03:11,291
I used to just focus on one aspect of it,

112
01:03:11,291 --> 01:03:12,833
but there's an entire aspect that you can

113
01:03:12,875 --> 01:03:15,541
focus and maybe not focusing on just the

114
01:03:15,541 --> 01:03:17,291
plastic bottle that a

115
01:03:17,291 --> 01:03:20,625
product comes into is going

116
01:03:20,666 --> 01:03:23,541
to help by reducing other aspects of its

117
01:03:23,541 --> 01:03:24,541
environmental footprint.

118
01:03:24,541 --> 01:03:25,583
So we're going to talk about that.

119
01:03:25,583 --> 01:03:27,375
And I want to hear a lot about what you

120
01:03:27,375 --> 01:03:29,250
think about this because I think it's

121
01:03:29,250 --> 01:03:30,583
really going to challenge a lot of us.

122
01:03:30,583 --> 01:03:31,333
A challenge is definitely

123
01:03:31,333 --> 01:03:32,250
challenge the way I thought.

124
01:03:32,541 --> 01:03:34,166
But here's the interview with Christophe

125
01:03:34,166 --> 01:03:36,958
Girardier, the CEO from Glimpact, talking

126
01:03:36,958 --> 01:03:38,250
about how we can, as

127
01:03:38,250 --> 01:03:40,041
corporations around the world,

128
01:03:40,541 --> 01:03:41,250
lower our

129
01:03:41,250 --> 01:03:42,791
environmental impact as a whole.

130
01:03:43,166 --> 01:03:44,000
Enjoy the interview and

131
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:45,000
I'll talk to you after.

132
01:03:47,791 --> 01:03:48,666
Thank you, Kisto, for

133
01:03:48,666 --> 01:03:49,875
joining us on this episode

134
01:03:49,875 --> 01:03:50,416
of the "How to

135
01:03:50,416 --> 01:03:51,250
Protect the Ocean" podcast.

136
01:03:51,625 --> 01:03:53,166
I told you, it's a very

137
01:03:53,166 --> 01:03:54,375
different way of thinking

138
01:03:54,458 --> 01:03:58,375
about what we can do to lower your impact

139
01:03:58,875 --> 01:04:00,750
on the environment, right?

140
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:02,166
And looking at not just

141
01:04:02,166 --> 01:04:03,458
from a climate perspective,

142
01:04:03,458 --> 01:04:05,291
or not just from an ocean perspective,

143
01:04:05,291 --> 01:04:07,416
but from an entire planetary perspective.

144
01:04:07,708 --> 01:04:09,208
This is something that

145
01:04:09,208 --> 01:04:10,291
I think is really going

146
01:04:10,291 --> 01:04:11,166
to make us think

147
01:04:11,166 --> 01:04:13,666
about how we move forward

148
01:04:14,166 --> 01:04:16,416
with companies like trying to greenwash

149
01:04:16,583 --> 01:04:17,375
and companies really

150
01:04:17,375 --> 01:04:19,916
trying to lower their imprint.

151
01:04:19,916 --> 01:04:21,083
And even talking to

152
01:04:21,083 --> 01:04:22,375
Kisto during the interview,

153
01:04:22,375 --> 01:04:24,000
I said, it requires a

154
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:24,833
certain transparency

155
01:04:25,125 --> 01:04:26,458
from the company of

156
01:04:26,458 --> 01:04:28,250
looking at how can they reduce

157
01:04:28,250 --> 01:04:29,333
their overall footprint

158
01:04:29,333 --> 01:04:31,250
for making their product

159
01:04:31,250 --> 01:04:32,750
or even doing their service.

160
01:04:33,250 --> 01:04:33,833
And it's going to say,

161
01:04:33,833 --> 01:04:34,833
"Hey, look, we realize

162
01:04:34,833 --> 01:04:36,000
that there's one aspect

163
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:37,125
that may not be great,

164
01:04:37,125 --> 01:04:38,708
but if we reduce the other aspect,

165
01:04:38,708 --> 01:04:40,083
we've reduced our impact

166
01:04:40,083 --> 01:04:42,958
by 40% or 50% or even 60%.

167
01:04:43,666 --> 01:04:46,041
And by tackling each one at a time

168
01:04:46,208 --> 01:04:47,000
and looking at what they

169
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:48,083
can do and what they can't do,

170
01:04:48,250 --> 01:04:49,250
I think will be really

171
01:04:49,250 --> 01:04:51,166
interesting to see how we can lower

172
01:04:51,500 --> 01:04:52,791
our entire footprint.

173
01:04:53,083 --> 01:04:53,541
Because we may not be

174
01:04:53,541 --> 01:04:54,666
focusing on the right thing.

175
01:04:54,666 --> 01:04:56,458
We may be focusing on the wrong thing

176
01:04:56,708 --> 01:04:57,458
or on something that

177
01:04:57,458 --> 01:04:58,458
would have a less impact

178
01:04:58,458 --> 01:04:59,375
if they change it.

179
01:04:59,833 --> 01:05:00,416
But I'd love to hear

180
01:05:00,416 --> 01:05:01,250
your thoughts on this.

181
01:05:01,250 --> 01:05:02,333
This is going to be really interesting.

182
01:05:02,750 --> 01:05:04,541
I am going to put a link to the app that

183
01:05:04,541 --> 01:05:05,875
Christophe mentioned

184
01:05:05,875 --> 01:05:07,541
at the end called MyGlimpack.

185
01:05:07,916 --> 01:05:08,791
I filled it out.

186
01:05:08,791 --> 01:05:09,750
It's really, really interesting.

187
01:05:10,125 --> 01:05:11,333
It only has a few countries.

188
01:05:11,333 --> 01:05:11,791
So if you're in the

189
01:05:11,791 --> 01:05:13,208
US or you're in Belgium

190
01:05:13,500 --> 01:05:15,125
or you're in France or even in Europe,

191
01:05:15,125 --> 01:05:16,083
somewhere in Europe, they have that.

192
01:05:16,125 --> 01:05:17,750
They don't have one for Canada, which I'm

193
01:05:17,750 --> 01:05:18,791
going to work with this stuff.

194
01:05:18,791 --> 01:05:19,500
We've got to have that

195
01:05:19,500 --> 01:05:20,458
Canadian representation.

196
01:05:20,875 --> 01:05:21,333
But it's really

197
01:05:21,333 --> 01:05:22,500
interesting on how you fill it out.

198
01:05:22,500 --> 01:05:24,250
And it tells you how many sort of

199
01:05:24,250 --> 01:05:25,875
planetary boundaries that we cross

200
01:05:26,333 --> 01:05:27,166
and how many planets will

201
01:05:27,166 --> 01:05:29,291
hurt based on looking at this.

202
01:05:29,291 --> 01:05:29,958
It's really interesting.

203
01:05:30,166 --> 01:05:31,375
I hope you download.

204
01:05:31,375 --> 01:05:34,166
I'd love to hear and see your your

205
01:05:34,166 --> 01:05:35,833
results because I'll share my results.

206
01:05:36,291 --> 01:05:37,916
But yeah, so I'll put the links there.

207
01:05:37,916 --> 01:05:41,250
I'll put the links to Christophe so you

208
01:05:41,250 --> 01:05:42,750
can contact him if you want.

209
01:05:43,041 --> 01:05:44,375
And of course, I'll put all

210
01:05:44,375 --> 01:05:47,791
the links for us and this podcast

211
01:05:47,791 --> 01:05:49,083
so that you can get a hold of us.

212
01:05:49,250 --> 01:05:50,791
And if you want to get a hold of me, you

213
01:05:50,791 --> 01:05:52,791
can do so by just going to our

So it's going to be a lot of fun.

227
01:06:16,250 --> 01:06:17,625
Thanks a lot for joining us on today's

228
01:06:17,625 --> 01:06:18,833
episode of the How to Protect the Ocean

229
01:06:18,916 --> 01:06:19,833
podcast. Have a great day.

230
01:06:19,833 --> 01:06:20,333
We'll talk to you next

231
01:06:20,333 --> 01:06:21,583
time and have a conservation.

232
01:06:22,333 --> 01:06:26,125
Thank you, Christophe, for joining us on

233
01:06:26,125 --> 01:06:27,500
this episode of the How to Protect the

234
01:06:27,500 --> 01:06:29,916
Ocean podcast. I told you it's a very

235
01:06:29,916 --> 01:06:31,916
different way of thinking about what we

236
01:06:31,916 --> 01:06:34,541
can do to lower your

237
01:06:34,541 --> 01:06:37,000
impact on the environment.

238
01:06:37,458 --> 01:06:39,333
Right. And looking at not just from a

239
01:06:39,333 --> 01:06:41,083
climate perspective or not just from an

240
01:06:41,125 --> 01:06:42,833
ocean perspective, but from an entire

241
01:06:42,833 --> 01:06:44,041
planetary perspective.

242
01:06:44,583 --> 01:06:46,708
This is something that I think is really

243
01:06:46,708 --> 01:06:49,875
going to make us think about how we move

244
01:06:49,875 --> 01:06:52,708
forward with companies like trying to

245
01:06:52,708 --> 01:06:54,791
greenwash and companies really trying to

246
01:06:54,791 --> 01:06:56,666
lower their their imprint.

247
01:06:56,666 --> 01:06:58,833
And even talking to Christophe during the

248
01:06:58,833 --> 01:07:00,750
interview, I said, like, it requires a

249
01:07:00,750 --> 01:07:03,208
certain transparency from the company of

250
01:07:03,208 --> 01:07:05,208
looking at how can they reduce their

251
01:07:05,208 --> 01:07:06,708
overall footprint footprint for making

252
01:07:06,708 --> 01:07:09,041
their their product or even doing their

253
01:07:09,083 --> 01:07:10,833
service. And it's going to say, hey,

254
01:07:10,833 --> 01:07:12,791
look, we realize that there's one aspect

255
01:07:12,791 --> 01:07:14,708
that may not be great. But if we reduce

256
01:07:14,708 --> 01:07:15,333
the other aspect,

257
01:07:15,583 --> 01:07:16,791
we've reduced our impact

258
01:07:16,791 --> 01:07:19,708
by 40 percent or 50 percent or even 60

259
01:07:19,708 --> 01:07:22,583
percent. And by tackling each one at a

260
01:07:22,583 --> 01:07:24,125
time and looking at what they can do and

261
01:07:24,125 --> 01:07:25,541
what they can't do, I think will be

262
01:07:25,541 --> 01:07:27,625
really interesting to see how we can

263
01:07:27,625 --> 01:07:30,041
lower our entire footprint because we may

264
01:07:30,041 --> 01:07:31,416
not be focusing on the right thing.

265
01:07:31,416 --> 01:07:33,583
We may be focusing on the wrong thing or

266
01:07:33,583 --> 01:07:34,875
on something that would have a less

267
01:07:34,916 --> 01:07:37,041
impact if they change it. But I'd love to

268
01:07:37,041 --> 01:07:37,875
hear your thoughts on this.

269
01:07:37,916 --> 01:07:39,541
This is going to be really interesting. I

270
01:07:39,541 --> 01:07:41,333
am going to put a link to the app that

271
01:07:41,333 --> 01:07:42,833
Christophe mentioned at

272
01:07:42,833 --> 01:07:44,291
the end called MyGlimpack.

273
01:07:44,791 --> 01:07:46,125
I filled it out. It's really, really

274
01:07:46,125 --> 01:07:48,125
interesting. It only has a few countries.

275
01:07:48,125 --> 01:07:49,583
So if you're in the U.S. or you're in

276
01:07:49,583 --> 01:07:50,625
Belgium or you're in

277
01:07:50,625 --> 01:07:51,875
France or even in Europe,

278
01:07:51,875 --> 01:07:52,916
somewhere in Europe, they have that. They

279
01:07:52,916 --> 01:07:54,500
don't have one for Canada, which I'm

280
01:07:54,500 --> 01:07:55,458
going to work with Christophe.

281
01:07:55,458 --> 01:07:56,291
We've got to have that

282
01:07:56,291 --> 01:07:57,208
Canadian representation.

283
01:07:57,583 --> 01:07:58,041
But it's really

284
01:07:58,041 --> 01:07:59,291
interesting on how you fill it out.

285
01:07:59,291 --> 01:08:01,000
And it tells you how many sort of

286
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,291
planetary boundaries that we cross and

287
01:08:03,291 --> 01:08:03,875
how many plants will

288
01:08:03,916 --> 01:08:05,750
hurt based on looking at

289
01:08:05,750 --> 01:08:06,833
this. It's really interesting.

290
01:08:06,833 --> 01:08:08,125
I hope you download.

291
01:08:08,125 --> 01:08:11,166
I'd love to hear and see your results
