Despre acest podcast
You believe supply chains can be a force for good. So do we.
But creating positive impact isn’t separate from the everyday work of supply chain and logistics. It happens in the decisions you make about cost, service, resilience, efficiency, technology, resources, people, and the planet. Sometimes doing better creates a win for everyone. Sometimes the choices are harder.
Those are the conversations worth having.
Logistics With Purpose® is the only podcast focused on supply chain’s positive impact.
Here, you’ll meet people across business, nonprofits, humanitarian organizations, logistics, manufacturing, and beyond who are finding practical ways to build better supply chains. You’ll hear what they’ve tried, what they’ve learned, what’s working, and where the challenges remain.
And every episode has a promise: to leave you with at least one practical idea you can take back to your own work.
That might mean a new way to think about supply chain resilience or efficiency. A lesson about inventory management or AI in supply chain. A better approach to sustainability. An idea from humanitarian logistics that changes how you see a problem. Or simply a question that helps you make a more thoughtful decision tomorrow.
Because building better supply chains isn’t about choosing between performance and purpose. It’s about understanding the full impact of the choices you make and looking for opportunities to make things better.
For your organization. For your people. For your community. For people who depend on the supply chain. For the planet.
Powered by Vector Global Logistics and co-hosted by Enrique Alvarez and Kristi Porter, Logistics With Purpose® is for people who want to learn from each other, challenge old assumptions, share what works, and keep moving our industry forward.
You don’t have to wait for someone else to create positive change. Whatever your role, you have a part to play.
Let’s build better supply chains together.
