Hello and welcome to the latest issue of Supply Chain World . This month we report on ESG , data , AI and supply chain optimization – different viewpoints and subjects , but often united perspectives around technology and solutions , which are there to help ensure supply chains are streamlined and ready for the unexpected .

It ’ s also very rewarding to share insights from so many diverse interviewees – from supply chains at sea via Royal Caribbean Group to global policies from lifestyle and footwear brand KEEN . There are so many fascinating details from these businesses , from training and culture to the use of technology . If you have a story to tell , then get in touch - we ’ d love to feature what sets you apart , too !
