SUMMARY:Supply Chain Sustainability: What’s Holding Us Back? A Conversation with Anita Kelava\, Co-Founder of Voiz Academy
DESCRIPTION:The Managing Director of Boston Strategies International\, David Steven Jacoby recently participated in an in-depth discussion with Anita Kelava\, Co-founder of the Voiz Academy\, a leading platform for continuing education and certification programs focused on the application of emerging technologies to emissions reduction and climate adaptation. The discussion explored the supply chain technologies—and the supporting processes and behaviors—that can deliver the greatest impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. \nTechnologies Driving the Next Wave of Decarbonization\nDuring the discussion\, we examined several technologies that are already reshaping the sustainability landscape: \n\nAI for forecasting\, inventory optimization\, and energy management\nBattery management systems and next-generation storage advancements\nIn-building carbon capture\, such as Carbon Reform’s plug-and-play Capsule\nBlockchain for authenticating “green electrons” and “green hydrogen”\n\nThese tools are no longer futuristic concepts—they are practical enablers available today for organizations committed to reducing emissions. \nHard + Soft Tech: Building Circularity Across Industries\nA major theme of the conversation centered on how companies can combine: \n\nHard technologies (e.g.\, chemical recycling)\nSoft technologies (e.g.\, AI-driven optimization)\n\nto create circular economies in plastics\, rubber\, textiles\, and consumer goods. Much of the opportunity lies not in new inventions but in leadership\, process redesign\, and ecosystems thinking. \nOperational Quick Wins That Require No New Technology\nSeveral process-based levers can deliver substantial carbon and cost reductions immediately: \n\nContracting for green power through green PPAs\nOptimizing logistics networks to reduce both emissions and cost\nHybrid EV adoption supported by tax incentives\nEmbedding carbon education and reduction commitments into Tier-level supplier contracts\nDesigning low-carbon products and services using the Revchain™ methodology\n\nThese steps highlight that progress is less constrained by technology and more by alignment\, incentives\, and execution. \nWhere Young Professionals Can Drive Transformation\nEmerging leaders entering the workforce today have unprecedented opportunities to make an impact. High-leverage areas include: \n\nNet-zero product design\nAI for supply chain visibility and decarbonization\nCarbon accounting platforms\nSupplier engagement and sourcing strategy\nCorporate sustainability messaging and internal alignment\nPolicy\, diplomacy\, and sustainability-focused negotiation\n\nTheir enthusiasm and fluency with digital tools position them to accelerate adoption and cultural change. \nWe extend our appreciation to Anita Kelava for hosting a dynamic and thought-provoking conversation that clarified both the challenges and the near-term breakthroughs within reach for global supply chains. \nTo dive deeper into the frameworks discussed—including the Revchain™ Decarbonization System—you can explore David Steven Jacoby’s book Getting to Net Zero: https://a.co/d/4maXJnS

SUMMARY:🔋⚡Boston Strategies at NEI’s Nuclear Energy Financing Summit — New York City
DESCRIPTION:Boston Strategies will be attending the Nuclear Energy Institute’s Nuclear Energy Financing Summit (NEI) in New York City on January 27\, 2026—a critical forum for accelerating investment in nuclear energy.  \nAs global electricity demand rises sharply—driven by the AI revolution\, electrification\, and clean energy targets—nuclear power is increasingly seen as an essential solution. Financing new nuclear projects\, however\, depends on solving one core issue: cost overruns\, which are often rooted in supply chain risk.  \n📉Cost overruns remain the main reason more new plants have not been built. In most cases\, these overruns are caused by supply chain volatility\, including long lead items\, constrained manufacturing capacity\, price escalation\, and procurement delays.  \nReducing supply chain risk is one of the most direct ways to make nuclear projects bankable.  \nBoston Strategies provides a structured and proven process\, supported by a specialized software tool\, to de-risk nuclear plant supply chains at the Bill-of-Materials (BoM) level\, enabling early intervention and capital protection.  \nOur approach helps stakeholders:  \n\nPredict supply price escalation throughout the Bill of Material \n\n\nAnticipate material\, component\, and service shortages \n\n\nQuantify capital at risk \n\n\nTake mitigation actions early to protect returns \n\nIf you would like to discuss nuclear financing\, supply chain resilience\, or localization strategies\, please reach out to schedule a meeting.

SUMMARY:Boston Strategies International at the ASCM CHAINge Supply Chain Conference (Long Beach\, California |Sep 29-30)
DESCRIPTION:🌍⚡Boston Strategies International looks forward to presenting at the ASCM CHAINge Supply Chain Conference this year.  \nThis year’s focus on supply chain resilience\, geopolitical disruption\, and the future of global trade could not be more timely. Supply chains are no longer just operational—they are being fundamentally reshaped by a new geopolitical reality.  \n🎤As part of the conference\, we’re excited to contribute to the conversation through our session: “Tariffs and Supply Chains – A Look Ahead”  \n2025 shook global supply chains—from tariff shocks to shifting sourcing strategies. But the real story isn’t just about current tariffs or what comes next. It’s about how a growing geopolitical divide is permanently changing procurement and supply chain management.  \n🌍In this session\, we’ll go beyond percentage import duties to explore:  \n\nHow post-globalization sourcing will be built on a completely new definition of value \nWhy higher price and availability risk will become the new normal—and how to manage it \nWhy AI will be both your greatest advantage and your biggest challenge in supply chain management \n\n🎯We’ll also deliver practical\, actionable insights—including:  \n\nWhich countries are emerging as safe vs. high-risk sourcing locations \nHow supply chain teams must evolve in skills and structure \nWhich technologies and platforms will underpin resilient supply chains \n\nThis perspective builds on scenarios explored in “Trump\, Trade\, and the End of Globalization\,” which challenged long-held assumptions around global trade. Read more: https://a.co/d/0bXpD7eR  \nIf you’re thinking about reshoring\, AI\, or long-term supply chain decisions\, we look forward to connecting at ASCM.
