Andre Teixeira, VP of Global Supply Chain at Jamieson Wellness, joins Anne Robinson, Chief  Strategy Officer at Kinaxis, to discuss Jamieson Wellness’ bold approach to operationalizing sustainability. Watch now to learn how Jamieson Wellness has become a leader in sustainability by leveraging data to make better economic and environmental decisions.Andre believes that everything that moves across the globe is supply chain driven, including people, goods, and resources from the earth. Because of this, decisions need to be made by looking at the environment and social aspects tied to economics. “Just by its very nature, supply chains are consumers of the earth’s natural resources. So, anything we can do to improve the supply chain is ultimately in service of humanity and in service of Mother Earth.” – Kinaxis CEO John Sicard, quoted by Anne Robinson (3:37)Jamieson Wellness has a commitment to the planet, people and its communities. Its targets include reducing plastics by using recyclable plastic in 50% of its packaging, reducing 75% of its landfill and bringing sustainable raw materials to its products.Andre believes that the secret to augmenting the S&OP and IBP processes with sustainability lies in data. Supply chains, by nature, are constantly monitoring KPIs, benchmarks and information which should be leveraged to make better decisions holistically. Explaining what this might look like from a practical perspective, Andre explains, “So, when you have a bill of materials with products and descriptions, and quantities, how about having the environmental impact of those items in your bill of materials? How are you projecting your YOY, projecting your inventory levels today? We look at units, we look at dollars. How about projecting your carbon emissions with your level of sales, with your forecasting? And you are going to get that level that I have clarity on where I am and what kind of scenarios, we can use to mitigate those carbon emissions that I foresee.” (8:10)
