Why Real-Time Data Is the Missing Link in Product Carbon Footprinting

Send me a messageIn this week’s episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I sit down with Simon Kim, CEO and founder of Glassdome, to unpack a critical and fast-evolving area in sustainability: product carbon footprinting (PCF).We explore why accurate, site-specific emissions data is becoming essential for manufacturers, not just to comply with EU regulations like the Battery Passport and Digital Product Passport, but to stay competitive in global markets. Simon shares how Glassdome collects real-time data directly from factory floors, bypassing outdated guesswork and generic industry averages that can’t support real decarbonisation.We also examine:Why the EU is setting the global pace for sustainability regulationsThe role of primary data in supply chain emissions reportingHow even SMEs can affordably modernise their data infrastructureGlassdome’s partnership with Siemens and what that signals for future data exchangeWhat best-in-class emissions tracking could look like by 2030For manufacturers wondering where to start, Simon makes it clear: get your data infrastructure in place and begin engaging your supply chain. You can’t manage what you can’t measure.This episode is a must-listen for supply chain professionals, sustainability leads, and anyone interested in the future of carbon accounting in manufacturing.🎧 Listen now to learn how emissions tracking is evolving from regulatory checkbox to strategic differentiator.For more, visit www.sustainablesupplychainpodcast.comSupport the showPodcast supportersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's generous Subscribers:Alicia FaragKieran OgnevGary LynchAnd remember you too can become a Resilient Supply Chain+ subscriber  - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent episodes like this one and give you access to bonus episodes of topical, timely supply chain resilience analysis.🎤 Looking for a keynote speaker on supply chain resilience, AI, and sustainability?I help leaders understand the forces reshaping global supply chains, from geopolitical disruption and climate risk to AI and real-time decision-making. Download my Speaker Pack: https://tinyurl.com/spkrpckFinallyIf you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - feel free to just send me a direct message on LinkedIn, or send me a message using this link.If you liked this show, please don't forget to rate and/or review it.
