Yours truly,
?? Yesterday, we had the privilege of hosting Dan Nowicki, ex- Senior VP of Procurement & Commodities at J.M. Smucher Co. Dan's journey unfolded from recognizing the urgency of climate change to becoming a driving force behind innovative carbon capture solutions. Here are the stages of his climate pivot he shared with us yesterday!
1. "Climate Crisis Epiphany: A Year of Unprecedented Disasters"
Dan, a seasoned professional, had a pivotal realization in 2021 amid a barrage of weather disasters. From extreme heat waves to devastating floods, these events underscored the urgency of climate change, prompting Dan to take action.
2. "Hemp: A Carbon Sequestering Solution Emerges"
Engaging with a friend involved in a hemp project, Dan recognized hemp's potential as a significant carbon sequestering agent. Joining forces, they envisioned hemp-based products as transformative solutions to combat climate change.
3. "Unveiling Biochar: A Shift in Carbon Capture Strategy"
A game-changing moment arrived when Dan stumbled upon biochar through an article shared by his wife. Discovering its soil-enriching capabilities and ability to generate carbon credits, he saw the opportunity to integrate it into their project.
4. "From Waste to Innovation: The Rise of Pyrolysis and Biochar"
Teaming up with a waste management company in the UK, Dan delved into the pyrolysis process, turning waste wood into biochar. Understanding its energy potential and soil-enhancing qualities, he committed to this innovative approach.
5. "Carbon Trading and Future Prospects: A Biochar Revolution"
Embracing biochar's market value, Dan envisioned a future where biochar played a pivotal role in carbon sequestration. With certifications and partnerships with entities like Puro.Earth, he aimed to revolutionize carbon trading, advocating for biochar's diverse applications.

?? Sustainable sourcing is one of the major topics of conversation amongst sustainability professionals today. From their impact on materials and processes, to their role in getting firms to their net zero goals, suppliers are a vital component in the sustainability performance of a company. But beyond certifications and awards, how do we ensure that responsible sourcing practices permeate the supply chain strategy to create transformative change?
Chris van Bergen has 12 years of experience as the CFO and COO of the non-profit organization Nest , where he leads using radical supply chain transparency, and has created strong partnerships with leading brands to leverage the power of market forces for good. Author of the newly published book, Certifiable: How Businesses Operationalize Responsible Sourcing, Chris created the groundbreaking Ethical Handcraft program at Nest, and will share with us his experiences in creating, implementing, and auditing transformative socially responsible sourcing practices.
Join us to get a look behind the curtain of responsible sourcing, and find out how putting it at the heart of a supply chain strategy can create a permanent competitive advantage for a firm.
