Welcome to the latest episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast. I’m Tom Raftery, and today I’m joined by Nate Evans, co-founder and CXO of Fictiv. Nate shares invaluable insights into how Fictiv is transforming the landscape of sourcing for engineers and supply chain teams through their innovative digitized manufacturing network.
We delve into Fictiv’s mission to simplify sourcing for plastic and metal parts, highlighting the significant role of early design decisions in achieving sustainability. Nate and I explore the critical importance of collaboration between engineers, supply chain teams, and external partners to drive efficiency and reduce carbon footprints.
A key takeaway from our discussion is the increasing emphasis on sustainability in the manufacturing sector. Nate reveals the growing trend of companies setting ambitious carbon emission targets and the various strategies they employ to meet these goals. He also underscores the necessity of leveraging technology to enhance visibility and transparency in supply chains, thereby enabling more sustainable practices.
Additionally, we touch on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for manufacturers as they integrate sustainability into their operations. Nate’s practical advice on building solid, actionable sustainability strategies is particularly enlightening for companies at the beginning of their sustainability journey.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in how digital innovation can drive sustainable practices in manufacturing.
