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
