In this episode of The Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I sit down with Paul Magel, President of Business Applications at Computer Generated Solutions (CGS), to explore the critical role of digital transformation in supply chain sustainability.

We discuss how AI, automation, and data-driven transparency are reshaping supply chains, improving efficiency, compliance, and resilience in an increasingly complex global market. Paul shares insights into:

Why AI is a game-changer for productivity, process optimisation, and product innovation
How digital tools drive sustainability, from tracking emissions to improving supplier transparency
The challenge of balancing cost and sustainability, and where businesses can find efficiencies
Supply chain agility vs efficiency—which matters more in today’s unpredictable landscape?
The future of supply chains by 2030—what will AI, blockchain, and automation enable?

We also discuss the growing impact of regulatory compliance in sustainability reporting, the role of circular economy models, and how companies can prepare for stricter environmental regulations without compromising competitiveness.

If your organisation is navigating the complexities of sustainable supply chains, this episode offers practical takeaways on leveraging technology for smarter, greener operations.
