#66 Is There a Silver Bullet to ESG Data? Why the Answer is More Complex Than You Think

How can companies get the data which they need from suppliers? Listen to Natalie Grillon (OS Hub) and Tara Scally (Zeeman) in Frankly Speaking.

In the podcast today, we tackle a very big issue in the sustainability world: data in supply chains. 

How can companies get the data which they need from suppliers, when and when not to use estimates? Is data authentic in measuring impact on people and the planet? Is it all about big companies in the Global North or can the data have value to suppliers themselves worldwide? Is legislation asking too much?

Richard Howitt addresses those questions (and more!) with two brilliant guests this week:

  • Natalie Grillon⁠, CEO and Executive Director of ⁠Open Supply Hub⁠, a supply chain platform committed to the principle of open data in which more than 1500 organizations now share their supply chain data in the world's largest open map of global supply chain.
  • Tara Scally⁠, CSR Specialist at ⁠Zeeman⁠, clothing retailer based in the Netherlands and which has 1300 retail stores across seven European countries.

** SAVE THE DATE: Why should the Omnibus, portrayed by some as a tidying up exercise to get rid of duplication, be seen as something more serious than that? Learn more about the Omnibus debate and what sensible streamlining should look like at our upcoming ⁠conference on Sustainability & Competitiveness⁠. Seats are filling fast for this high-impact discussion! Join us in Brussels or online on January 30th.
