How do we move from vague ambition to meaningful action when it comes to reducing environmental impact in supply chains?In this episode, Ollie and Tom bring you two very different perspectives on that challenge – one from the world of industrial chemicals, and the other from the world of paint and decorating. Both stories show what it really takes to make progress, whether you're modelling the global materials system or trying to switch out a tin of paint.🎨 First, Ollie sits down with Ben Featherstone, the first sustainability lead at Bagnalls, a 150-year-old decorating contractor. Ben shares how a request from client CBRE led to the creation of his role – and how he’s using that momentum to influence product choices, change supplier relationships, and engage workers on the ground. It’s a reminder that real change often comes from the middle of the chain, not just the top.🧠 Then, Tom speaks to Arne Kätelhön and Raoul Meys, co-founders of Carbon Minds. What started as a frustration with the lack of usable data during their academic research has become a business that helps manufacturers and brands make smarter purchasing decisions, using highly granular, region-specific data about chemical supply chains. We discuss the limits of generic averages, the role of data in driving competitiveness, and why clarity – not compliance – is the real goal.Enjoy the episode.
