The Supply Chain Climate Stack

GoodOps’ “Transforming Supply Chains with Cleantech and Innovation” panel during SF Climate Week explored the strategic imperative for adopting the “Supply Chain Climate Stack” in enterprise operations. Companies powered by these technologies will be the most successful in building long term resilience, improving risk mitigation, increasing productivity, and reducing costs in an uncertain future. Our CEO & Founder panel from Mango Materials, Skyven Technologies, Artyc, and GlacierGrid illustrate the future we need to build:

SOURCING | Mango Materials | Molly Morse, CEO & Founder
Mango Materials transforms methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas, into biodegradable polymers. By disrupting the conventional plastic supply chain, Mango Materials not only mitigates environmental harm but also fosters resilience by diversifying feedstock sources. Their innovative approach underscores the importance of sustainable sourcing in building a robust supply chain foundation.

MANUFACTURING | Skyven Technologies | Arun Gupta, CEO & Founder
Skyven Technologies, who just received $145M from the DOE, contributes to another layer of the Supply Chain Climate Stack by offering solar-powered solutions for industrial heating. By harnessing renewable energy, Skyven reduces reliance on fossil fuels, enhancing manufacturing sustainability and resilience. Their integration into the supply chain climate stack demonstrates how manufacturing can align with environmental goals to mitigate climate risks.

LOGISTICS | Artyc | Hannah Sieber, CEO & Co-Founder
Artyc plays a pivotal role in the Supply Chain Climate Stack by optimizing cold chain logistics with AI-driven temperature monitoring and control. By minimizing temperature excursions and food waste, Artyc enhances supply chain resilience while mitigating climate-related risks. Their solution underscores the importance of climate-conscious logistics in safeguarding perishable goods and ensuring supply chain continuity.

SITE OPERATIONS | GlacierGrid | Manik Suri, CEO & Founder
GlacierGrid ascends the top layer of the Supply Chain Climate Stack by optimizing data center cooling with thermal energy storage technology. By reducing energy consumption and enhancing resilience to climate events, GlacierGrid strengthens the sustainability of site operations. Their contribution highlights the critical role of sustainable infrastructure in building climate-resilient supply chains.

The Supply Chain Climate Stack – A Business Imperative
As companies confront the uncertainties of a changing climate, embracing the Supply Chain Climate Stack is imperative for building resilience and risk mitigation. Startups like Mango Materials, Skyven Technologies, Artyc, and GlacierGrid exemplify the integration of sustainability into each layer of the supply chain. By adopting innovative solutions and collaborating across industries, businesses can navigate climate challenges while driving environmental progress. As we ascend the Supply Chain Climate Stack, let us forge a path towards a future where sustainability and resilience are synonymous with business success.

Webinar: Greenwashing

Brands are facing a reckoning.

Greenwashing is as pervasive now as it was pre-COVID. Sustainability marketing claims have spiked, but they don’t always mean action. Conscious consumerism is bringing a tsunami of accountability like never before.

How do brands navigate? How can consumers cut through the noise? And what really drives social and environmental impact in fashion and food?

Transparency, supplier partnerships and ESG innovation are just some of the solutions we explored in our NextGenChef Table Talk.

White Paper: Food Systems

NextGenChef’s white paper, The State and Future of the Food System post-COVID-19, explores today’s most pressing questions.

COVID-19 has exposed the weak points in the U.S. food supply chain, raising fears of food shortage among consumers. The disruptions have drawn widespread attention to the problems that entrench the food industry, simultaneously urging the country to reflect on sustainable alternatives.

As consumers alter shopping behavior, suppliers run low on supply, and logistics buckle under pressure, brands who will emerge as winners will be the ones who lead with environmentally and socially responsible operations.

In this NextGenChef whitepaper, the team speaks with eight industry experts across the country, including senior supply chain consultants and CEOs who represent more than 180 organizations to uncover how COVID-19 has changed the food supply chain.

GoodOps’ CEO, Divya Demato, touches upon the importance of DTC food models and how the path to resiliency lies in supplier recovery.
