Episode 58: Earth Day 2024: Planet vs. Plastics with SAP’s Stephen Jamieson

This year, EarthDay.Org deemed the theme of 2024 Planet vs. Plastics, calling for widespread awareness on the health risk of plastics, and how they negatively affect not only people and corporations, but our biosphere as a whole. SAP’s Stephen Jamieson joins us this week to dive into the ways we can begin to change our world from the inside out, and steps we can take as both consumers and corporations to drive plastic waste out of our supply chains.

Come join us as we discuss the Future of Supply Chain.
