Hey, thanks so much for listening. I would love to be able to help you more on what it is that you are listening to and why you're listening to me. If you could click on the link in the show notes, that would be awesome because it will help me define what it is that we should be talking about on this podcast. We've had some amazing guests on the Sustainability Solve podcast, featuring real diversity that articulates our core messages around how organizations can understand risk and opportunity, get to grips with their supply chain and what's happening with it, and understand their environmental management and impact of their own organization. Some of the ones that spring to mind are Dom Deville from the Wine Society. He talked about how 94% of their emissions are hiding in supply chains. And he really transforms risk into a competitive advantage, looking at how investing in your supply chain is a really good investment. And then pulls together the industry that they're in to have a collaboration in the frameworks, thinking about long-term resilience building. And then, of course, how can I forget about— well, I didn't forget, but how can I not talk about Abby Chicken from Openreach? Managing the UK's second largest van fleet, which is a massive operational footprint. And she really articulates how she puts together the infrastructure for really good fleet management and environmental compliance and carbon reduction across her organization. This is particularly relevant for large-scale operations leaders. And then we had Tom Greenwood from Wholegrain Digital looking at the hidden environmental risks within your digital emissions. 4% of global emissions are from digital operations, and it often exceeds travel emissions. So I implore you to not overlook your digital emissions and have a look at exactly what it is that you are using digitally. And finally, I am just wanting to talk to you about what more should we be looking at, at Sustainability Solved. I wonder if you could talk to us about what you'd like to hear about and whether there are particular topics that would really help you in your role, in your organization. to help what it is that you do. I look forward to hearing from you. My email address is will.richardson@51tocarbonzero.com. Thank you.
