In this podcast, we’re joined by Anne Robinson (Chief Strategy Officer) and Claire Milner (SVP EMEA) from Kinaxis, to discuss why the inability to operationalize sustainability is a hindrance to achieving long-term sustainability goals, and why it’s imperative organizations start to treat sustainability with the same level of importance as other business objectives.
