SUPPLY CHAIN TRANSFORMATION
We often talk about innovation in the supply chain sector- but what does that actually mean without ensuring there’ s a future to innovate for and towards?
Sustainable development must now be at the core of every business, with Scope 3 often accounting for more than 70 % of a company’ s total GHG emissions. This is a mission at the heart of Blue Yonder, where the software company’ s first Chief Sustainability Officer Saskia van Gendt leads sustainable supply chain innovation.
With nearly two decades in the field, Saskia brings environmental science expertise and a clear vision for how supply chains must evolve to be more resilient, more transparent and less carbon-heavy.
Saskia is no stranger to the frontline of sustainable innovation. Before joining Blue Yonder, she shaped bold environmental programmes at both Rothy’ s – where she championed circular production – and Method, applying plant-based innovation across operations. Now, she applies that same practical, results-driven mindset to global supply chains.
Her role at Blue Yonder stands out because of how directly it connects sustainability with digital transformation. The company’ s AI-powered platform enables businesses to plan and react faster, using data to anticipate disruptions, balance inventory and reduce waste. supplychaindigital. com 43
