43: Climate change and supply chain

In this episode, we take a different approach as we look at four impactful supply chain articles and connect them to the big news in Canada that has the significant impact on the logistics industry: The Canadian government signing the Paris climate change agreement and the new carbon tax policy. We also sing the blues as Karl and Reg's NFL teams are part of the sad 1-3 club in the NFL. Featured article: We discuss how these four articles and show the connection of each to the impacts of the new climate change agreement impacts supply chains: 1. MP's vote 207 to 81 to back climate change agreement The Candian federal government officially backs the Paris climate change agreement and sets carbon pricing starting 2018. 2. Supply chain leaders urged to embrace climate change solutions A new report shows how supply chain leaders can lead climate change efforts and how they have a bigger impact than they realize. 3. SCM races into the cloud How the rapid pace of supply chain systems to the cloud can reduce their carbon footprint. 4. Amazon quietly expands logistics delivery to Canada By offering their own logistics delivery, Amazon can be leaders in cutting carbon footprints by decreasing reliance on 3rd party delivery services. It's also interesting to see Amazon become a 3rd party delivery service.
